Shhh

[Bill of Rights]

OK... I just saw BigCraig's post on the hat pic thread showing the Mighty Serbu, behind which was a suppressor.

This got me wondering if it is even possible to suppress a shottie of any flavor.

It would seem difficult at best to do so, considering they fire shot rather than a single projectile (slugs being the exception), but I figure the only dumb firearms question is "Is it loaded?" (reference Rule #1) so... any NFA gurus know if it can be done?

Blessings,
Bill

Suppressing a shotgun has been tried by the best in the industry as well as hobbiest, the outcome, so far, has been unimpressive.

Tromix actually built a S12 that was suppressed, Tony remarked that he feels it is a futile effort.
