A new weapon for the U.S. Armed Forces is being tested by Blackwater Worldwide at their fire arms training center in Moyock, North Carolina.
It’s called the Auto Assault -12 Shotgun full auto 12-gauge can deliver 300 rounds per minute making it the most powerful infantry weapon in the world.
Originally prototyped in the late seventies the shotgun design was purchased and updated with over 200 modifications by gun maker Jerry Baber.
The AA-12 is made from 7 different types of stainless steel making it nearly maintenance free it is built like a tank and considered to be combat reliable under adverse conditions.
This low recoil gas operated big bore weapon is designed to stay on target between rounds making this shotgun a force multiplier when used in a urban environment.
AA-12 shotgun can deliver a variety of munitions
The frag 12 is the military’s new grenade round. The fin stabilized grenades come is high explosive, armor piercing, and fragmentation the round can fly 175 meters. This unique and exciting shotgun ammunition has been designed and developed by the Experimental Cartridge Company, Ltd. and Action Manufacturing Inc. All three types of grenade rounds use the standard 3″ 12-gauge cartridge case and propellant, which fires the fin-stabilized 19mm warhead.
“There is no way that anybody within 200 yards could face this weapon and survive it.” Said Jerry Baber. “The enemy is terrified of shotguns anything bigger than a rifle round they are terrified of it. When you use this type of weapon the fear factor becomes tremendous.”
