Headline picture's "revolver-action shotgun"

The headline image shows the SRM M1216, listed as a "revolver-action" shotgun. The M1216 blurs distinctions with it's unique magazine, but I believe calling it a revolver is still incorrect, as in practical terms the weapon simply has multiple magazine tubes all attached together, and the "active" tube feeds into the chamber in much of the same manner as any other tube-fed shotgun. True revolvers fire the cartridges while they're still within the cylinder, with the chambers of the cylinder acting as the actual firing chamber.

For true revolver shotguns, there's only a few, but the Armsel Striker, MTs255 and Pancor Jackhammer would fit the criteria better than the M1216. Personally I would suggest replacing the M1216 and instead representing a common semi-automatic shotgun, of which the Benelli M4 or Saiga-12 would be well-known examples.--Jaffaceksi (talk) 20:12, 16 September 2021 (UTC) The Rossi circuit judge is a modern revolving shotgun — Preceding unsigned comment added by Godofshore (talk • contribs) 04:45, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Combo survival shotguns are their own subtype

The fact that they are featured under the made up sub type “snake charmers” is as the kids say dumber n hell Godofshore (talk) 05:01, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

One modern revolving shotgun does infact exist

The circuit judge by Taurus is a modem example of a revolving shotgun Godofshore (talk) 05:04, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the design features for various uses is superfluous

The heading sheds no real light in design features and relies heavily on opinion Godofshore (talk) 05:30, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
