The Striker 12 is a 12-round, 12-gauge shotgun designed by Hilton Walker in Rhodesia. Its unique spring-wound rotary drum and auto-ejection system were innovative for its time. In the US, it was classified as a 'Destructive Device' under the NFA due to its bore size and perceived lack of sporting purpose, making it a rare and highly regulated collector's item.
The Winchester Liberator was a series of four-barrel shotguns designed by Robert Hillberg for low-cost, mass production in counter-insurgency scenarios. Early prototypes like the Mark 1 featured wooden mockups, while the Mark 2 utilized magnesium castings. The Mark 3 evolved to steel tubes for easier manufacturing and was chambered in 12 gauge. Despite interest from Winchester and DARPA, the project ultimately failed to secure military contracts.
The Techno Arms MAG-7 is a South African-made pump-action shotgun designed for concealable self-defense, featuring a unique pistol-grip magazine. Its primary drawback is the requirement for specialized 60mm shells, as standard 70mm ammunition is incompatible. Despite a low-recoil design, the MAG-7 suffers from significant reliability issues and functional flaws, making it one of the worst shotguns tested by Forgotten Weapons.
