Is That Another AK-47?
Nope.
It's the Saiga-12.

Have you ever wanted an assault rifle? Have you ever wanted a shotgun? Have you ever wanted an assault rifle that fires shotgun shells? I did. That's why a few years ago I picked up an IZHMASH Saiga-12 shotgun! Made by Russia, this fully automatic (or semi automatic if you're a civilian) assault shotgun is capable of putting out a devastating amount of firepower in a short period of time. Magazine sizes range from 5-rounds to the bulky 20-round drum magazine. Conveniently, it can be taken apart almost exactly like an AK-47 and is even easier to clean due to the larger bore size.
This stock Saiga-12 looks like a bizarre rifle, though one may prefer the rifle stock over a pistol grip. |
I have yet to encounter someone who owns a Saiga that does not modify it in some way. It is relatively easy, and the parts aren't overly expensive. A stock Saiga-12 will cost you around $700-$800 so it won't break the bank. In addition this solid weapon gives you a platform to build the shotgun you want, without having to pay for everything all at once. For the price it is definitely one of the coolest guns around. I highly recommend that gun enthusiasts consider adding it to their collection.
Nice gat'! I prefer the Fusion Rifle from Destiny
