Does anyone know if anyone if they make a 12ga beehive round like this one? http://www.onlythebestfirearms.com/beehive.html

The ones a buddy of mine picked up from a gun show a while back were a joke. Most wouldn't go through the paper target, much less the plywood behind it.
ETA, the ones he had were nothing like the one in your link.

Re: 12Ga Beehive Round??
No idea.
For $600, I think I would buy a Ruger 10/22 instead, and learn to cycle the trigger really quickly, or just shoot 12-ga buckshot. From a rifled barrel that short, there can hardly be any accuracy gain, and it will be lost by the bullets crowding down the barrel of the shotgun anyway.
I used to have a 7.5x55 to .22 conversion cartridge. It was basically for delivering a "coup de grace" behind an animal's ear. It was also rifled, but accuracy at anything beyond touching distances was abysmal.

There's no way that's going to work against Chicago's City Hall. I'd stick with regular buckshot or slugs.

How does that work, anyway? It looks like it should be a salt shaker or a pasta press.
The use of the word "but" usually indicates that everything preceding it in a sentence is a lie.
E.g.:
"I believe in Freedom of Speech, but". . .
"I support the Second Amendment, but". . .

you load it with several rimfires. The firing pin on the shotgun looses 10 rounds of 22.Windy Wilson wrote:How does that work, anyway? It looks like it should be a salt shaker or a pasta press.

There's a discussion here with a drawing some guy had for a three round 12 gauge beehive.

Re: 12Ga Beehive Round??
i thought that it wasnt a machine gun because it is only one 40mm or 12ga round fired at one time...? just sending multiple projectiles at once just like standard buckshot doesCByrneIV wrote:And THAT friends, is a machine gun according to the ATF.
More than one round of fixed ammunition is fired with each actuation of the firing mechanism.

What Chris said.
If you want to inaccurately shoot ten .220 pellets from your shotgun then why not just shoot #F shot (.220) and get 28 pellets to the ounce?
Other then having run out of shotshells and you've stockpiled a shit load of rimfire I can not conceive of an application for this device.

I can - it's called "having something to shoot out of a nice shiny new 40mm grenade launcher that doesn't cost 20 bucks each time you pull the trigger".SeekHer wrote:Other then having run out of shotshells and you've stockpiled a shit load of rimfire I can not conceive of an application for this device.
