You would want to make them really long to approach 40mm performance, but they’d be heavier requiring more propellant and higher pressure to fire very far. You’d need a very sturdy 12ga
>thermobaric
very annoying firecrackers - yes
there's not enough volume to store enough fuel to produce enough pressure to significantly impact the enemy
>grenades
very annoying firecrackers - yes
there's not enough material to produce enough fragments to have a good hit probability
I think an exploding slug could do more damage than conventional ammo depending on how explosive it could be and it would have less penetration for HD scenarios
The only feasible system is impact burst/delayed ignitor like on the small Russian grenades. But those things can be made pretty small, probably small enough even to being quite space efficient and giving reasonable amount of ethylene oxide. Sort of a super flashbang with additional burning.
Yeah
I WANT A SHOTGUN MINIGUN!
They made one on that discover pedo gun show.
They mounted 3 saigas togeater in a rotary style.

its called the pepper shaker. you can get the plans from graham during meatweek.
Yuh
Could you build grenades to be fired out of a 12 guage?
Questions, questions.
There are HE shells, so yes.

what if you did it rifle grenade style?
I think it could be a direct fire HD scenario weapon
Yeah but they’d be very wimpy

No. Bore to smol

yeah but its going at bullet speed and directly hitting the target (theoretically)
I think the main tactical advantage of a grenade is indirect fire
buckshot would probably fly farther and do more damage to the unarmored meat
I think an exploding slug could do more damage than conventional ammo depending on how explosive it could be and it would have less penetration for HD scenarios
I think you're right - it would be much more damaging to the fighting capability at least - very disorienting and deafening on a direct impact
The raufauss round had enough RDX to do significant damage, and that's just 50 caliber. 12 GA should be able to hold more.
I think they would be really similar in in filler mass.
How about a shotgun that fires shotguns
Isn't that just cut shells?
How about a bullet that fires pistols that fire bullets as they fly
if you use an over under you could potentially use really long shells
Technically yes, but it's AOE wouldn't be anything useful.
ask your mom she saw mine and played with it

a flashbang hitting you at bullet speeds would do some damage
