Mossberg Shockwave
[edit]The Mossberg Shockwave is a pump action firearm based on the 590 series of shotguns. It is distinguished from the rest of the 590 series by its 14 inch barrel and "birds-head" style grip.[1]
Design
[edit]The action of the Shockwave is taken from Mossberg's 590 series of shotguns. It features the same sliding tang safety on the top rear of the receiver, twin action bars, and dual extractors seen on other models.[2] The name is inherited from the manufacturer of the grip, Shockwave Technologies. Mossberg claims the grip reduces recoil.[3] The Shockwave weighs 5.25 pounds (2.38 kg) empty, holds five rounds in the magazine tube of either 12 or 20 guage, and has a single brass bead front sight with no rear sight. Production began in 2017.[4]
Legality
[edit]In the United States, the Shockwave does not fit the definition of a shotgun as defined by the ATF, which says that shotguns have barrels over 18 inches (46 cm) in length. It avoids restriction as a short barrel shotgun under Title II of federal firearm laws by remaining over 26 inches (66 cm) in length. The ATF refers to the Shockwave as a non-NFA firearm.[5] While legal at a federal level, regulations also vary by state, thereby prohibiting purchase in many states, including Ohio.[6]
