Riot gun

[ken158]

The 916 was generally regarded as a piece of junk disguised as a shotgun. The S&W 3000 was MUCH better, especially after S&W made certain changes to prevent double feeds. For a time, even the 870 did not have this feature to prevent double feeds. The 3000 is one of those guns that was "ahead of its time." It should have taken over the police market, but police administrators are notoriously "slow on the uptake" when it comes to advancements in personal weapons.

+1 on these comments. What a piece of junk. I was issued one and after the first shot, and when pumped, the remaining shells would eject through the carrier... and that was if it fired the first shot. S&W credited the Dept I think $75 each and we bought 870's.
