riot gun
In current usage, a riot gun or less-lethal launcher is a type of firearm used to fire "non-lethal" or "less-lethal" ammunition for the purpose of suppressing riots or apprehending suspects with minimal harm or risk. Less-lethal launchers may be special purpose firearms designed for riot control use, or standard firearms, usually shotguns and grenade launchers, adapted for riot control use with appropriate ammunition. The ammunition is most commonly found in 12 gauge (18.5 mm/.729 inch) shotguns and 37mm (1.46 inch) or 40 mm (1.57 inch) grenade launchers.
In the United States, the term riot gun more commonly refers to a riot shotgun.
Inspired by relooking at our defense shotguns / a planned SBS project. Well, that and I saw a book published in 1978* that looked too wacky for me not snag a used copy from Amazon. (Presumably, it will be here next week.)
If you were tasked to create a fighting, not hunting or sport shooting...
Cool shotgun ive had for a few years. I shoot it occasionally but am trying to raise funds for a mini bike. Finish is gone in some spots, and some dings in the wood but otherwise functional. I belive this one was the last year of manufacturing for this model as well. If my price is too high...
Up for sale/trade is an old 12ga Wingmaster riot gun. Thinking an old cruiser or prison gun. Has wood stocks and currently installed birds head grip. Have the wood stock and bump pad to include. Side saddle attached.
Appears it has had the barrel cut and blued with beaded site a ways way back...
In the spirit of the various "wish they made ..." threads on other topics, what shotgun would you like to see made? Could be main and plan, way out there, or somewhere in between.
Enjoy! :s0155:
