SWD/Cobray Street Sweeper
The Street Sweeper is the American-made copy of the Striker; the standard commercial version was recognizable by its longer 18" barrel, which was necessary to comply with U.S. firearms laws for over the counter shotgun sales. There were short barreled versions of the Street Sweeper, but like all short barreled shotguns, it required a tax stamp and was a strongly regulated device. When the Clinton Administration declared the civilian version of the Street Sweeper to be a 'destructive device' (like a mortar or a rocket launcher) in 1993, nearly all commercial sales ceased and the remaining samples in the chain of commerce could only be sold to holders of Federal Destructive Device Permits. Although it is a copy of the Striker, there is a relatively low interchangeability of parts between the two guns. The Street Sweeper is usually seen in American action films, whereas the Striker and Protecta are more likely to appear in films made outside of the U.S. The Street Sweeper also has the distinctive Key in the front of the drum to wind the 'clockwork' mechanism like the original Striker shotgun.
