AA-12

Tuesday, September 10th, 2013

If you’ve been keeping up with Breaking Bad, then you recently saw — spoiler alert! — the AA-12 fully-automatic shotgun in action:

(I can’t be the only one who finds that macho-yet-breathless delivery grating.)

    I was disappointed you didn’t embed FPS Russia’s video where he pulls the AA-12 from a barrel of water and it just works. With 35,037,740 views it’s also his most popular video.

    In Russia, eye-pro and ear-pro wear you!

    Seriously though, I was taken aback by the thought of shooting a shotgun — twenty times in a row — with no ear protection and then shooting point-blank at a door with no eye-protection. And, c’mon, he was just asking for a bad Yakov Smirnoff joke.

    By the way, he clearly finds the AA-12 easier to handle than the Saiga-12, a 12-gauge AK.

  4. I also find his delivery almost unbearably overblown. That show did review a lot of cool weaponry, but I have a great deal of difficulty imagining that guy was ever really a Navy SEAL (as, IIRC, they claim in the show intros). The one’s I’ve read (and read about) seem much more down-to-Earth. Maybe it was the producers’ fault.
