Suppressed scatterguns.

[Captain O]

Shotguns seem to be ripe for suppression because,

1. They usually operate at relatively low pressures,
2. projectiles (buckshot) are generally subsonic, and
3. a longer (18"+ suppressor) piece lends itself to ease of use.

Defensive use inside a house would be improved because of enhanced recovery time from a suppressed muzzle blast.

Any thoughts, opinions?

The silencerco salvo 12... huge, but surprisingly light weight.
Salvo 12 | Shotgun Silencer | Suppressor | SilencerCo
maybe someday...

Come on guys, haven't you seen No Country for Old Men???

The Steve McQueen movie "Bullitt" had a suppressed shotgun as well...Not that I put much stock in movie guns...but I do like the idea of a suppressed shotgun.

While the noise reduction would be great; I doubt the extra length would be worth it. Too much sticking out front for a Bad Guy to get a hand on for leverage! No Thanks.

It is an interesting concept; the efficacy of a scattergun, minus the hearing damage associated with using said for defense. An SBSed rig with a Salvo-12 would be even more handy.

Parenthetically, I thought the short (10½"-barrel), integrally suppressed, Six-12 would have been neat-o. Alas, it appears to be vaporware.

Never did see that one getting any traction. A few suckers getting fleeced in pre orders but that's about it. Not a good time to be a startup gun company.

Integrally-suppressed Saiga-12/Vepr-12/similar might work. I say "integral" because with the suppressor permanently attached it counts toward barrel length and OAL...

Integrally-suppressed Saiga-12/Vepr-12/similar might work.

That could be a neat setup. I've seen various suppressed Saigas, of course, but not one built from the ground up as such.

Nobody's made an integral version yet that I know of, but the technologies exist and it's just a matter of getting them all onto the same hardware.

There have been several integral 12 gauge Saigas built. Tony Rumore made a demo gun and I think Red Jacket did a production version for a bit....Squirrel.

That looks like a fun one.
