The Mossberg 990 Aftershock is a semi-automatic variant of the popular pistol-grip Shockwave. While it offers features like a shorter barrel and M-LOK attachments, potential issues include its barrel length and the critical challenge of reliable cycling across a wide range of ammunition, from light target loads to heavy defensive rounds. The author expresses concern that achieving reliability with both extremes might compromise the firearm's intended fun factor or defensive capability.
