The Mossberg 500 Chainsaw

1/21/2011

Certainly one of the most unusual-looking guns at SHOT Show 2011 came from Mossberg in the form of their Mossberg 500 Chainsaw. Built on the iconic Mossberg 500 action, the Chainsaw is a pistol-grip pump-action shotgun with no stock. While guns like this are desirable for home defense, they're notoriously hard to control while firing, a problem that Mossberg has solved by attaching a wrap-around chainsaw-style hand grip to the pump. Intended to be fired from the hip, this top handle allows the user to cycle the action while simultaneously maintaining leverage above the gun to help tame muzzle flip.

In addition to the chainsaw-style grip, the 500 Chainsaw has a stand-off barrel that can be used to breech doors and three rails that can mount accessories.

American Hunter Managing Editor Jeff Johnston was on hand to stop by the Beretta booth and get a feel for the new A400 Xplor Light shotgun. Weighing in at a paltry 6.2 pounds, the Xplor Light's aluminum alloy receiver helps keep heft down without sacrificing any strength. On top of the low weight, the Xplor Light features Beretta's Blink cycling system, designed to work cleaner and faster than most other semi-automatics on the market.
