For comparison, take the American M26 Modular Accessory Shotgun System. Its underbarrel version weighs 1.22 kilograms, yet it's a multi-shot weapon fed from detachable box magazines.
Even classic pump-action shotguns like the Maverick 88, in some configurations, can weigh no more than two kilograms.

Such are the consequences of monopolizing everything.

Seems kind of pointless, it couldn’t be that costly to just make light regular shotguns instead of this jank-ass ergonomic nightmare. But I guess that they’re genuinely at the point where they have to float around Sten / Erma EMP tier cheap-ass designs.

Single shot won't do. I remember some interview with Ukr soldier, who said a classic over under is best, because you can have two shots with different pellet count. First for a longer distance, and second if you miss and it's coming right at you.
>>
>>65229351
why is this only 12x70? If you are going committed to a simple single shot design like this, why not upscale to like a 20mm+ handheld flak thrower to guarantee anything in the general direction you aim gets pelted. You could probably engineer a better recoil system and the larger caliber for this design under 4kg.
>>
>>65229352
Apart from looking like the ergonomic equivalent of aids, it’s really not a bad concept. Outfitting every individual soldier with this would probably net better results than simply distributing only one shotgun to a single man per squad.

Is this meant to be cheap, small, and light enough to equip every soldier that already is carrying an AK-12? Because that is the only way this would make any sense to me.

To expand on my >>65229666 point, Baikal makes the MP-155 that as of last market data retails for 30,000 ruble for the base model. An actual semi auto shotgun with a 5 shot tube. The russian government could order a hundred thousand of these with shorter barrels, the cheapest synthetic or dogshit wood furniture possible, and a lanyard ring to tie it to a belt and come away with a more effective solution for less money. But that doesn't grease a siloviki's palm so fuck it, useless single shot suicide weapon it is.

Its so sad, you would think their country being at its lowest point in recent memory and being in the middle of a potentially existential crisis would make the leadership unite, rise up to the challenge and sacrifice everything to make a comeback but no, 4 years later and everyone is still looting the treasury and robbing their own troops.

If they could afford them, would underbarrel shotguns be the move here? Every man needs to carry a shotgun in addition to his rifle because they don't even move as fireteams. It would help if they didn't have to stow one weapon and shoulder another when they see a drone approaching

There was a thread a while back here where someone was floating some ridiculous anti drone solution. I don't really remember what it was, but I off handedly responded that it would be cheaper and more effective to just hand every Russian soldier a slam fire pipe shotgun.
Since the KGB is apparently reading my posts here, it is my ethical duty to explain that I did not say that because I thought it was an actually good idea. I was just trying to demonstrate how dumb I thought that other anon's idea was.

Why not give them a cheap Turkish semiauto or a pump shotgun? It worked somewhat for the Norks in Kursk, that's what they gave the Nork officers and NCOs and they got the job done although with high losses.

I think it is on the third brass panel from the left when you look at the outside wall of the Memorial Museum of Combat Feats at the Overseas Military Operations when you approach it? It is a really huge building and they made sure that everyone got noticed with their own statue, they made it so quickly that i can't keep track of it. They have a wall of remembrance, individual tombs and placards for each individual soldier and each one has a individual testament to how he died.

Whatever you might think about them the DPRK is going out of their way to honor their dead and support the families of their soldiers.
>>
>>65229989
Fuck you, all those Norks died because they wanted to get a better life for themselves, their families and their Nation. They did it, no matter how pointless and stupid fighting for Russia is they did it because it would help them, their Nation and their families.

12 gauge is 18mm unless I'm misunderstanding how bore is measured for these things. The closest gauge to 12mm is 28, which is ~14mm, while .410 is 10.4mm.

>>65230049
I don't know why they do it like this, but the 12 isn't the diameter, it's the gauge, but the 70 IS the length, which is 2 3/4 in.

Suicides under observation count as kills for Ukrainian drone teams now. You can't deny the score anymore.
I wonder what you could do with your points if you got really good at coaxing ziggers into offing themselves without expending your drones. Can you buy things other than more drones with them? Or do you end up sitting on a pile of drones you'll never launch because the first couple you send make whole zigger platoons start fighting over the company level rifle to shoot themselves.
>>
>>65230404
The mindboggling thing is that no, they haven't.
Every dead zigger we see, except for a couple at Kursk, signed a contract, whether for a signing bonus, parole from prison, or some other incentive, to fight beyond what was demanded of them under the conscription law.
Even with their huge population advantage over Ukraine, they haven't been able to move the front by more than an oblast's worth in years.

Look, and be honest with me, would you rather have this or nothing at all? Because those are the options the poor mobiks are gonna have should this thing ever get fielded.

Moscow could be burning with an invading force at the city gates and there’d still be some ratshit oligarch parasite trying to score a few rubles on military contracts. But my point is that, IN CONCEPT, a simple, ultralight shotgun that can be easily carried and packed by each individual soldier isn’t the worst idea for combatting individual drones.

The idea that a last-ditch shotgun is required instead of increasing production of actual shotguns to issue them more widely does not bode well.
The very idea that a single shot, break-action gun that weighs more than several existing conventional shotguns while offering substantially less utility is a good option means we're working with a heavily degraded set of standards to begin with.
That's the thing, you can't get around the 'okay but why not hand me a real shotgun' question that this thing's existence inevitably forces you to ask.

Forget competing with actual shotguns, with 2kg, why not give every soldier an under-barrel launcher?
Burgers have a buckshot round for their launchers, surely a dedicated round won't be more work than developing a volksturm shotgun
And as bonus a under-barrel launcher will have more uses than just anti drone duty

If it's single shot why didn't they just add a tube under their rifles so then it has two uses? It looks like a huge dildo
>>
>>65230634
Either would be wildly superior too. The proper underbarrel would both be a bigger shot and have additional utility with minimal extra burden, while a proper shotgun would allow follow-up shots giving a greater chance of actually hitting the damn thing, and maybe prove useful in trench clearing.
Almost literally anything else they could've done is better than this.
>>
>>65230642
yeah, also with the under-barrel you can follow up with your AK, without needing to drop your potato cannon first
It really seems like the worst possible solution
>>
>>65230616
>Why not use those?
Because those have a known market price and you can't allocate billions to R&D (for your own pocket). This shit is unique, it wasn't present on the market, so it has no market value and thus will be overpriced without breaking the RU military procurement laws.

The only real usecase i can think of for this eventual pipebomb contraption is if you can churn them out like paperclips to arm every oil depot worker, technician and truck driver with like 2-3 shells and order them to shoot at any drone in sight, one of them might get lucky who knows. And you can take any real shotguns they might already have for frontline troops.
Or if you want to go further (and funnier) you can call up your conscripts and hand them the funnypipes for some very important live drone defence training exercises around important infrastructure

They won't be any use for deep strike drones.
The truck drivers might possibly get a shot off on hornets etc but even in the videos where they do that, it takes a few guys with AKs to hit the drone.

That depends on where you live but over here it's BSP, in which the nominal size is the inside bore of the tube and the actual size of the threads is one size above that.

For instance the half inch BSP is 19mm which is 3/4 of an inch.

Screw standards in general have such a retarded history you sound crazy explaining the very basics. Belgium was the second country in the world to industrialise thanks to British entrepreneurs, so their early machines had British standards but they made parts to metric dimensions.

Which means we had VB or "Visserie Belge" thread standard where the screw size is metric but with threads in TPI.

I'd probably try reloading a spent 12.7 with buckshot because a 12.7 bullet weights the same as a standard 12g load.

And because it's a single shot weapon and needs to be compact instead of full recoil id punch out a bofors brass and jam a pack of oreos into it, and crimp your artillery brass straight onto a 12.7 adaptor and band it. That would then be very easy to reload in the field. It would be half the weight with the sliding tube only being there for operator safety, like a law. And because the OBP would be radically lower you could save your dishka barrels and just use a steel insert, which it looks like they've done here anyway. Recoiless naturally lends itself to heavier loadings at a lower velocity which is what you want anyway.

Other interesting question is whether you would want two barrels, as they're inserts anyway.

Because there's a kind of decision paralysis with one barrel in at what range do you engage at. You'd really want to fire once at the range you hoped to stop the drone, and once at a range the drone could hit you but not exactly line you up.

And with a very heavy recoiling shotgun, is this one of those strange cases where you want a blow forward action? If you wanted full recoil and only one barrel why not set it up like a Howa

No, this is actually the case.

They are most certainly not shipping the russians actual arms.

Anon, my brother in Christ, you can't reduce weight by shaving off "excess material" when the gun is made of the cheapest and shittiest Chinese cheese-grade "steel" available.
Every cubic micrometer of that material is strictly necessary to keep the gun from instantly exploding upon firing the first shot.

It's disproportionally heavy for the same reason that a Hi-Point is heavy. It's made of garbage materials.
That's why it's cheap to produce. And cheapness is the most important aspect, it allows for maximum profit when the oligarchs running the company sell these things to the army for absurdly high prices.

No, they are about as heavy as the slide or bolt on a blowback 9mm pistol actually ought to be (but this is also rather variable, some use lighter ones, some use heavier ones). They're chonky, but that's because zinc alloy weighs less than steel, so you can't quite make something comparably sleek to an old Astra 600 or Walther Model 5, because you need a larger volume of zinc to approach the same mass as you would with steel.

Hi-Points also have steel breech plates.

The easiest way to get actual shotguns in Europe is to hop in a car, drive to Czechia, Austria or Finland, buy one and then drive home.

Why would they have to use Saigas?

Nah, 20mm. But yes, Minengeschoss aka HE shells. Mind you, when the target is a low-flying attacker, 20mm HE has a decent chance of fucking up something that leads to some unplanned lithobraking.

Something tells me pic related would be far better suited to anti-drone duty than that abortion of a noob toob

if it was at least a KS23 shell, or even bigger, I'd say ok, I understand why you'd perhaps make that a single shot to be lightweight and portable. Even then it's not a great idea.
but there's 0 reason to make a 12gauge like this.

His break-action launcher is also similar.

KS-23 shells are a meme.
They're low-pressure rounds built primarily to lob beanbags and irritants for riot suppression.
The conventional loads of buckshots and slugs aren't impressive compared to a regular 12ga.

12ga magnum loads, and 10ga magnum loads are significantly more powerful.
>>
>>65233509
nothing says you couldn't make those in magnum loads. and then they WOULD pack a punch.

to make things even funnier the M26 used Siaga 12 mags

It's a grift, but another kind as most anons think, i bet the employee in question is the son or another relative of someone awarding the medals, and daddy wants to help out his weapon constructor career
They could propose the most ghetto zip gun ever and still get the prize, and to be fair it's not far off from diy shit by some drunk fuck in a garage

Literally don't need to, they made millions and millions of Browning's automatic shotgun, both in America and in Europe. Hell, a licensed copy of it was even made in Japan back in the day, so some exist there still. They kept being made in at least America and Europe for over 70 years.
It was probably his most successful civilian market weapon, and by his own words the gun he was most proud of.

Anyway, if you want an Auto-5, there's always gonna be a few used ones available for sale here or there in much of the world, and usually at acceptable prices (ranging between $300-600 for one in decent and working condition, I think also vaguely equivalent in Euros or other currencies in other places).

Some may have their stocks cracked because of the friction ring thing (which oughta lower the price), but stocks can be replaced (even crafting a new one if you have some woodworking experience), and then just setting the rings for what you want to shoot with them.
IMO they look great with 20" barrels and matching tube extensions.

These old shotguns can NOT run steel shot though (beats up the bore), so if you want to hunt bird with them, you need to use something else. Some use bismuth, others pure copper.

I could imagine ways to save some cost, but it'd be like making brand new Lugers or Broomhandles, except there's more of them still around and they aren't too expensive.
It's just unnecessary to do.

The only thing needing bringing back in this context is METAL STORM.
Don't know why we're still sleeping in this solution.

They need to come up with an Odradek-like device that can detect drones instead of BTs.

>slides are made of cast zinc alloy that's soft enough to cut with a kitchen knife
Zamak alloys are actually harder than aluminum.
They're obviously not comparable with steel but they're not soft like lead.

the first time I played STALKER I felt so clever for figuring out why the early game sawed-off was so weak, and then felt so stupid when it turned out it actually was just weird notation for 12 gauge

I've long wanted to write a fantasy quasi-WW1 novel. I scribble down ideas and general plot points but never write it. I wanted to do firearms based on magic crystals, but I wanted to have at least a semi-realistic firearm using it but I just couldn't think properly. I should ask /k/.

But basically the idea was most places use a magic crystal, the striker hits the crystal, this produces a 'blast' of fire which then forces the bullet out of the gun (I was weighing up just keeping it as a shaped bit of metal or a 'ball'). The guns are basically like ol' Martini-Henry, single shot due to the quality of the magic crystal. But I planned for the race of the protagonist (or possible protagonist) where they craft the magic crystal into a better shape which allows repeated striking in rapid succession without an issue, so the gun was a bolt-action. Though maybe lever action would be better....

Could just ask AI t b h.

A 20 mm HE metal storm might be an OK soution, yeah.

stuff like that worked for black powder but I don't know if that's what it's supposed to be.

Since you have crystals as the functional equivalent of gunpowder, any mechanical difference in firearms would depend on the characteristics of said crystals. How big are they? How easy are they to make and can they be mass produced to a consistent quality? Powder has an advantage of being relatively consistent and easily put into a cartridge. Even if these crystals are just as powerful by volume, their shape is going to pose a problem and you'll need a more forgiving action. Basically something like a musket where you just jam it in there with the projectile and use a cotton wad to hold it all in. If the crystals are more effective by volume, you could just make regular bullets with them and there would be no functional difference.
