Talk:Fabarm SDASS

I feel dumb for asking this but is this a pump-action or semi-auto shotgun?

Isn't it obvious? A pump. Excalibur01 02:22, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Obvious, not really. That's a long ass forend, seen mostly on semi-auto shotguns. But it seems to be the norm on the newer pump shotguns lately.--Predator20 02:30, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Not the norm for most shotguns. Just for this shotgun. Excalibur01 02:56, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

The long forend is what confused me. It doesn't look like it has enough room to move to rack the action.

Just looking at the picture the forend does look like it should be on a semi-auto instead of a pump...but the lack of a cocking lever is the dead give away that it would have to be pump.--Spades of Columbia 15:01, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

"Not the norm for most shotguns. Just for this shotgun." The Winchester Super X Pump (SXP) and the Remington 887, are two other new pumps with long forends. It seems to me that you would have to do a lot of notching on the forend to get a side saddle to work. --Predator20 15:16, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

For a pump action shotgun, I just prefer the tried and true 870 Excalibur01 18:04, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

HELL YEAH!...the 870 is a work horse...no need for cleaning or lubing.--Spades of Columbia 18:56, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
