So I recently acquired a 20 gauge Shockwave. I love the thing. I can use it as a scatter gun or a .615 cal slug shooter ( which I can buy rifled.). OK terrific. But huh?
Slightly longer than 26" so not a pistol.
Not rifled, so not a rifle
Not a shotgun ( yup, fact) because it's not designed to be shot from the shoulder
It's not an AOW because it doesn't match specs for that category
It's not a machine gun.
It's not a "Destructive device" because it doesn't shoot rockets or mortars, or grenades.
The tag just says "other"
I love the thing, but what a weird deal it is.
