In a SHTF situation in the home I would want more than a two shot weapon. The elastic shell carrier with extra rounds does little in a stress filled moment. Can you effectively retrieve the extra rounds and load the gun while excited, and being pursued by several individuals? If I have to confront someone, especially in my castle where I am King, I want the upper hand. I have several loaded and ready, but my go to gun would be the 870 Trench model. Eight rounds just sounds so much better than two, and it also has a shell holder that holds an additiona six rounds of 00.
For home defense I would have the AA 12 guage in the attached video if I could.
AA-12 Gauge Shotgun
Military Police Systems recently unveiled a must-have weapon in the current CQB environment. The company out of Piney Flats, Tennessee has come out with a unique selectable (via a unique trigger) 12-gauge shotgun called the Auto Assault 12 Automatic Shotgun or AA-12 Automatic Shotgun. The AA name originally stood for "Atchisson Assault" after the original inventor but has
been changed since Military Police Systems purchased the rights to theunique weapon. The weapon utilizes a constant recoil system that reduces recoil by 90% as compared to a traditional 12 gauge shotgun. Thereduction
in recoil is the primary reason that this shotgun can be fired effectively in the automatic mode. With little or no barrel rise, this weapon is a
monster when clearing rooms! The weapon will definitely become a force multiplier with its ease of operation and massive firepower in both the
law enforcement and military arenas.

What is Constant Recoil? - When the weapon's gun bolt is cycling a round, a gas system absorbs most of the shock and energy, about 80% of the total recoil. The weapon also has a very strong recoil spring that absorbs another 10% of the recoil. The result is a weapon that cycles efficiently and effortlessly while transferring 10% of the recoil of a normal 12 gauge
to the shooter!> The Video - See this monster in action being fired with both magazines and the 20 round drum.
