You could fit a similar amount of ammo into a smaller space.
Why aren't revolving shotguns more popular?

Complexity
Justin Brown
Because most people don't want to press their face to the cylinder gap when aiming.

Bentley Carter
They should use a system similar to the nagant revolver,the gap seals.
Parker Scott
What would be the point? A pump or semiauto is higher capacity and has no cylinder gap.
It's not your face that's at risk, it's your hand supporting the foreend.

>even more mechanically complex
You'd probably only get 4 or 5 12ga shells before it gets a fuckhuge cylinder. I'd buy one for novelty, because I'm a faggot.
Wyatt Wright
The reload would be quick as hell tho.
Tyler Sanders
Colt did make a revolving shotgun in the 1800s

They weren't the only one making them back then.
Google "Six12 bullpup shotgun"

And the fact it brings no real advantage over a tube or box magazine

Care to be more specific? I've never heard of that before.
Levi Flores
not him, I think it has to do with the "street sweepers"
Juan Jones
He's probably talking about the unfortunately named street sweeper but idk how accurate he is with it regarding this thread if that's the case. Fucking cobray.
Ethan Reed
They banned the street sweeper explicitly by name. There is/was no blanket ban of any sort that applied to revolving shotguns in general.
Levi Barnes
>banned the street sweeper explicitly by name
That's what I thought. At least it lead to the Ladies Home Companion. Tfw no cobray brand NiggerKiller5000
Nathan Flores
Theres this thing that's been in developer purgatory for years.
Aaron King
The street sweeper, a revolving shotgun, weighs about 4lbs without the drum.
With the drum, it's about 10lbs.
Think about that and tell me why you think its superior to detachable mags again, OP.
Jaxon Morris
I'm not OP, but I'm not sure what your point is here. Are you trying to suggest that the design of the Street Sweeper should be taken as typical of all revolving shotguns? That seems pretty dumb given that the Street Sweeper is very different from all the other revolving shotguns which have been made in the past.
Choosing the SS as an example is about as dumb as picking the Calico as an example of a semiauto handgun.
Carter Stewart
Anyone hear anything recent about that? It was conspiculously absent from 2018 SHOT show, though they had them at the show for several years prior.
Kayden Reed
because we know what the perfect shotgun is but we will never have it
Camden Anderson
The point is an integrated revolving design with cylinders and whatnot is obnoxiously heavy vs a saiga 12 with a 20rd drum for example. There is zero advantage of a revolving design vs conventional ones and there have been no successful iterations for a reason.
Honestly I can't wait for the six 12 to come out because it's been sizing up to be a gigantic pile of shit too. Heavy, low capacity, and the trigger has to actuate a fucking gas seal on top of a double action hammer pull so itll likely be about 20 pounds.

I was literally just coming here to make an OP about this after I found this gem while looking at what's on the local markets right now
