AA-12 assualt shotgun
« on: 23 February 2014, 10:26:32 PM »
Looking for a mini, or suitable substitute for an AA-12 shotgun. It is for a 28mm project. This is what I am looking for.

Doesn't have to be a perfect match, just close enough that a little hack and slash w/putty can make it serviceable.

You know, I was thinking of those, but I thought they were a Max-Mini item! No wonder I couldn't find them!  lol  If nothing else, pops up, these are a good starting point. Thanks for the link.  :)

I know for a fact that a metal sprue of 28mm AA12s exists, I had a blister years ago but sold it. Must've been EM4, Hasslefree, Copplestone or something like that.

I think that pack also included a pistol, MP5, and maybe an M16.

It was a white metal like the one Reaper uses.

Hasslefree's Modern trooper range has a figure with a USAS-12 shotgun, which would make a good start. It comes separately to the torso with the arm attached.

The more I think about it the more I get the feeling that the one I had in mind wasn't the AA-12 but rather a vaguely similar looking gun with a bullpup configuration.

Thanks Carlos. The USAS-12 will work just as well. Didn't realize Hasslefree made one.

It looks like an over-sized MP5 with a drum mag to me.

Yeah, it does a little, but this fugly fires 3 inch 12GA rounds at the rate of 300 rounds per minute!  :-*  It can take 8 round box magazines, 20 round or 32 round drums.

More like an oversized AR-15 with a drum mag.

Since it's almost completely encased in the plastic casing with very little exterior detail, this probably wouldn't be too bad to sculpt yourself. Brass rod for the barrel, plasticard triangles for sights a build the rest from greenstuff -- or just thicker plasticard. If it's being wielded, the hand hides the pistol grip, which is the most complex form on the thing.

Any single-piece casting is going to have a too small drum magazine.

Though I was hoping for an AA-12 mini, the USAS-12 will work just as well. Since Hasslefree has multiple minis with USAS-12s to choose from, why recreate the wheel? I think I'll just be lazy and by one of theirs (they make awesome minis anyway!). If someone does know of a mini with an AA-12, by all means, let me know.
