In shotgun we trust? (“Vera” means “faith” in Russian.)
Made by Coal Creek Armory.
The guy with an advanced .308 bullpup topped with a Nightforce scope…
…or the kid with a GSG522 topped with a budget Primary Arms 1-4x?
PS: The kid should have been wearing safety glasses. That was fixed as soon as we noticed.
PPS: I notice that the PA scope is back in stock. $119 for a clear illuminated scope that holds recoil of 450Marlin is a pretty good deal.
Saiga with 8" barrel and 20rd MD drum, 1/320s exposure
KSG with 18" barrel, 1/400s exposure
As you can see, both recoil energetically. The difference in muzzle flash is mainly due to the barrel length, as they were firing the same ammunition. With both guns, you get to throw lead at the target by the pound, in fact, the payload of 20 rounds of 1 1/8oz slugs adds up to nearly pound and a half!

A video is in the works.
When I took the 522 carbine to the range first, I had a (broken) red dot sight with it — predictably, the results didn’t look useful until I removed it and used iron sights. The gun comes with several front sight posts (held in with a screw) but the one I had installed — a “big dot” type was not conducive to precision shooting. So I returned with a Primary Arms 1-4x scope.
I really like that scope: it’s cheap, sharp, fairly bright and holds more recoil than I am willing to experience myself. I’ve also been converting most of my rifles to Magpul type 2 slings.
For lack of a front sling loop, para cord around the sight tower had to do.
The ribbed surface is rubber and feels nice in hand. The charging handle would be a little longer.
The carbine has a good trigger. At 25 yards, I put most of a full 22-round magazine into one hole, losing my concentration on one shot. To me, this seems adequate for a plinker. Ammo: bulk Federal from 550-rd box. I did not have the time that day to re-shoot without a flinched shot. The gun runs with 30 or 40 grain ammunition equally well, and accuracy is also similar.

In case of civil unrest, rioters would be well served to stay away from people with rings on their fingers. A single person might choose to retreat, but those who can’t maneuver due to kids would be more inclined to make a stand. They won’t feel guilty about removing any perceived threats to the kids and spouse.
