Why hasn't the Pancor Jackhammer been revived?
According to Gun Jesus, various international militaries were interested in buying it. Pancor had already developed a working prototype and successfully put 50k rounds through it.

because that was like 30 years ago and in today's world there isn't much practical military application for a 20 pound automatic shotgun
Adam Cooper
Also have you seen how this thing reloads? Fucking pain in the ass.
Ryan Wood
Demand for shotguns is pretty small in a military capacity. They're mostly just used for breaching lightly secured doors. A shotgun isn't versatile enough to be worth carrying in any broader capacity, and all you need for a breach gun is something light enough to not mind carrying along with your rifle and have enough rounds available to dump into someone in an unexpected situation in the process of the breach.
Brody Hill
Shotguns just aint military guns anymore.

It's not much worse than reloading a tube magazine
Luke Morales

Yeah

I wonder if it wouldn't be more practical to use a mini-breaching charge type thing instead, like a directional charge the size of a hand grenade or so, just big enough to smash a bolt/hinge. Would that be more practical/less weight/as fast to deploy as a shotgun plus ammunition?

BECAUSE NOTHING NICE HAPPENS ANYMORE
David Scott
Because why. It wasn't even a great design when the guy made it.

if you watched that whole video you should know exactly why dipshit.
Jose Jones
He made it sound like they could have sold a lot of them if they hadn't ran out of money
Colton Harris
This. I pray for God to kill us all quickly. It's the best deal we're going to get

Because modern bullpup detachable magazine shotguns exist now.
Jordan Martinez
Isn't there that one Turkish company that's making modern Semi-Auto shotguns with a similar looks and design features?
Logan Jones
Yea. One of their models looks like a tavor.
Brandon Butler
I really like what turkey have been doing with shotguns lately.
Jordan Morgan
Because just with like the AA12, which isn't seeing much success, there just isn't any institution looking for fully-automatic shotguns.
Lucas Evans
The less conventional ones can be hit or miss, though.
Really wanted this one to work. :(
Camden Robinson
Most militaries don't bother with shotguns anymore. They're better for police/special operations or riot suppression.
It's easier to use a carbine if you're in an enclosed area, especially with how most CQC operations go. You'd be more likely to blast a friend than you would any baddies.
Luke Bailey
God damn it, how shit is it?
Christian Parker
Yeah I’m hoping all of you get raptured soon so I can sin in peace!

0/10, basically.
There's one gun store owner who purchased a dozen or two where every single one would fail on the first mag, usually with a crack forming in the receiver because they put a sharp edge there.
Ayden Smith
Life is unfair
Xavier Young
Because Accatran pattern a shit
Zachary Lee
Yeah but the AA12 and/or Saiga12 exist.
Frankly for most purposes a rifle will be the better choice. Shotguns are about as relevant as SMGs these days.
Owen Ramirez
Lol xd
Good luck finding a civ AA12 nigger and Saigas have been import banned and the price is steadily rising on ones currently within the border so it’s not something you find very common in pawn shops or your local sporting goods store
However saiga is perfect semi auto 12g to me just don’t own one niggsd
