Same kind of laser setup? I love lasers, but really want one to be instant on/off with a grip, like CTC Lasergrips. When I saw the AOW Serbu Super Shortys, the first thing I thought was that was an app that cried out for a laser. Seems to me they'd be a lot harder to aim from eye level than a Shockwave.
"Defending against a criminal or a whack job on the American street" implies to me you're referencing defense scenarios occurring while out and about in public and I can't imagine why you would be armed with a pistol grip shotgun in such scenarios.
Tacticool? A lot of folks will throw out that term to dismiss something they don't understand and I suspect that's the case with you. If anything, the label "tacticool" fits the shockwave like a glove.
You again? I thought I told you to go with God.
Okay, just for you, the textbook definition of tacticool is somebody who says things like this:
"I've spent too many years hashing things out in Force-on-Force and analyzing civilian self-defense encounters to believe that some type of movement isn't beneficial in nearly every type of defense encounter(whether it's vs a gun, blade, club, fists). Shooting while in movement is incorporated in every trip to the range and I'm confidant in my skills in that area."
And this:
"The degree of movement necessary varies and I never referenced any particular type, but movement is nonetheless often a key component is such instances since at least one party will try to maneuver around the vehicle to get a better shot. There are plenty of videos to verify what typically occurs. And it's not all about gunfights. Scenarios involving unarmed assailants or those armed with contact weapons occurring at extreme close-quarters must be considered. With a handgun, I have a free hand to utilize in ECQ encounters and better retention compared with a two handed weapon. Creating separation is often the best response and is much easier to do with a handgun.
And yes, I have spent a lot of time training to be able to put rounds on target while GOTX or more accurately, while exploding off the X although that degree of movement isn't always what's necessary."
Now maybe you should start your own tacticool discussion and leave this poor man's thread alone.
