more "WTF" from Mossberg

[shooter521]

From the people who brought you the "Rolling Thunder" shotgun with the "Image Enhancer" muzzle device:

and the 702 Plinkster with the AR-50 style brake:

Comes the Model 500 "Chainsaw":

Oh, and a "Blackwater Edition" 500 Cruiser and 930SPX...

im liking the grip on the 500 chainsaw

 

[DocBoCook]

as an "instinctive" style skeet shooter, that would be an interesting style for shooting it. I'd like to try that out.

 

[Mr.JAG]

Put me down for 1.... I was never strong enough to shoulder a 500 anyways.

It looks like they did their R&D and/or marketing research to come up with this by sending out a survey to online gamers.

Somebody at mossburg watches toooo many zombie movies and checks with hollywould on firearms design,

really guys the chainsaw looks like a useless toy

 

[DocBoCook]

looking at it more closely, it actually just looks like a three rail fore end with an actual handle from a electric chainsaw or weedwacker. almost looks like a hillbillitacti upgrade really

 

[HighStrung]

Well, the chainsaw style foregrip is a complete joke in my opinion. The fact remains that at least they put something a little more appropriate on the end of the barrel. A .50cal style muzzle brake or the large chunk of uselessness in the previous pictures looked much more retarded than the newest. Though, one other thought, is that if your weedeater handle ever breaks, you've now got a backup option.

Somehow I overlooked the chainsaw handle and was like hmm...tacticooled out so I wouldn't have to do that then I looked again and caught it. I'm really not sure what to think of that.

That's what I thought of when I read the OP. IMHO, that thing is on a whole different level of awesome than the "500 chainsaw". At least if you're going to do it, do it right, make it FA and put a chainsaw style rear grip on it. Mossberg just can't get it right...

 

[RelicHound]

Can you blame Mossberg? Blame the customers! a good deal of todays gun owners eat theat crap up! make it black and make it look like something used in a video game and they will sell a ton.
In recent years there has been a major boost in sales for tacticool crap...in the past 4-5 years I have yet to walk into a gun store and not hear the words call of duty or some zombie related movie or video game. there is a whole GIANT group of people out there {usually late teens-20's} who want to emulate thier favorite video game/movie character and these new offering from Mossberg look like something that would easily fit a game or movie. put that "chainsaw" shotgun in some block buster zombie movie and I bet $100 that these things would be flying off the shelves.

I agree with RelicHound 100%. For those of you who have never shot a pistol grip 12 gauge shotgun, the recoil is very severe and they are impossible to shoot accurate without a tremendous amount of practice. I know. I have owned several of them. However, in a 20 gauge, which I have also owned and fired a lot, the recoil is far less.
