Yea, and that new set of gold plated, carbon fiber and titanium nitrate golf clubs will do wonders for your game. I’m calling BS here.
So at the typical short ranges inside a house where one would be able to positively identify a threat, this whiz-bang thingy will be able to spread the shot enough to hit more than one bad guy?
I measured, and ranges in my house would be no longer than 30 feet. I’d really like to see the patterns from the blundering-bus of a barrel at that range.
On the flip side, It looks like there’s a good 4 inches of standard size barrel, which should allow any shot to reach full velocity.

Ironically, a flared muzzle throws no wider of a pattern than a simple cylinder bore.

But it looks cool!

More to the point, it looks like something you don’t want to be on the wrong end of.

Well, it might work a little. The shape of the barrel is quite different than the pictures of a blunderbus that I have seen, and I’ve heard that shape really don’t work. This, however, is more of a cone shape.
So I assume the shot will start expanding after 4 inches instead of at 18.5 inches. So yea, at 10 feet, there’s still gonna be a single hole of double ought.
I can’t wait until the attorney jackass in my county (that sends every single self-defense case to Grand Jury) sees this. After the Grand Jury sends my case to trial, the prosecutor will hold that cartoonish thingy up to the (supposed) jury of my peers.
I’m actually worried right now about the evil black synthetic stocks on my 870 HD right now (where the HD stands for “Home Defense”). Been looking for a good used wood furniture for a replacement for a while.
Though if it’s a scary look your seeking, I’m willing to bet one of those 37mm flare launchers under teh house-gun would be a lot more fun on the 4th of July.

The link to their “other product” does not really add anything to this piss-poor thingy either.
