The Serbu Super Shorty is a customized short shotgun, manufactured by the Serbu Firearms Company in Tampa, Florida. The company begins with a standard shotgun which was originally manufactured and shipped without a shoulder stock, and was declared as a pistol on all of its paperwork. Serbu currently manufactures Super Shorties built from Mossberg 500s and Remington 870s, though in the past, most or all (depending on the time) of their guns were built on Maverick 88s.
Though the barrel, magazine tube, and pump slide are all extensively modified (if not built from scratch by Serbu), the rear 2/3 of each gun is largely exactly the same as the original, thus the base gun is very easily recognized by the receiver and bolt.
Despite the misconceptions that many people have about sawed-off shotguns, Serbus at 7-10 yards generally produce buckshot patterns only 2 or 3 inches larger at most, compared to an 18" cylinder bore with the same ammo, and are equally inaccurate with slugs out to 100 yards.
