Current Events > Picked up a boomstick today.

(+) Yeah! (+)

350 bucks, with a complimentary sling(not pictured).

Came with a letter from the BATFE themselves detailing what it is(a firearm), what it isn't(a shotgun), and what I absolutely cannot do with it, most notably fitting a stock that allows you to fire it from the shoulder.


That being said this thing is a barrel of laughs, and magnum shells go about as well as you expect.

Did you get it from S-Mart?

How is this not a shotgun?

Don't be a screwhead. Listen up, it is a boomstick.

It does not have a stock.


Been looking at one of these. Do you know if it fires those mini shells?

From the letter,

"Further, the NFA defines 'firearm' to include ...a shotgun having a barrel or barrels of less than 18 inches in length...[and] ...any other weapon, as defined in subsection (e)..."

So basically since it's a 14 inch barrel, it's no longer under the standard definition of a shotgun, which is an 18.5 or longer barrel.

Once I find some, I'll let you know. That being said it's simply a Mossberg 590 receiver, so I'd wager if a normal 590 can cycle minis without flipping them, that the Shockwave would do just as well.

Interesting.
