Yeah, I'm guessing choke made a big difference in this part (albeit probably the difference between 0-1 pellets and 4). And point (2) precluded some very special-cased tool by claiming it has to be handy with what's basically the full gamut of 12 gauge ammo. . . Thanks for the info.

For the testing they really are not going to run "ambush situations" unless it is specified in the requirements (or desired characteristics). This is getting into legal wording for what is required and unless it is spelled out there will be lawsuits. What you are asking for is something you'll have to test yourself. Besides you'd have to use the exact same type of ammo the military was using at that time for those results to be applicable to your situation. The Combat Shotgun to be procured and fielded will be required to satisfy the following operational and physical requirements described in the Joint Operational Requirement Document and further amplified in the contract Purchase Description: (1) Capable of semiautomatic operation. (2) Capable of firing both standard Department of Defense (DOD) 2.75-inch, 12-gauge No. 00 buckshot, No. 7 1/2 shot, No. 9 shot, and slug ammunition,3 and 3.0-inch 12- gauge commercial ammunition conforming to Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute (SAAMI) standards without adjustment to the operating system. The Marine Corps Systems Command is unaware of any DOD acquisition programs to procure and type classify 3.0-inch, 12-gauge ammunition for use by DOD components.4 (3) Have a maximum effective range of forty meters (fifty meters desired) with the DOD standard 2.75-inch No. 00 buckshot ammunition, and 100 meters (125 meters desired) with slug ammunition. (4) Have a length of 41.75 inches or less and be capable of being reconfigured to, and be operated at a length of, 36 inches or less. (5) Weigh no more than 8.5 pounds (six pounds desired) unloaded. 6) Be equipped with Low Light Level iron sights and a standard U.S. Military accessory mounting rail integral to the upper receiver, to permit use of other sight enhancement devices.

I'm just learning this product, based on a request, so I don't want to overpromise, so I think it is PRIMARILY about 922R. That said, I have heard complaints about the factory hammer deforming or mushrooming. I have not heard about failure to fire, so this might be a cosmetic defect, nothing more. The other thing is that I plan to NiB coat the hammer. This is a low friction coating, and since part of the trigger pull weight is the friction of the sears dragging on each other, it should reduce pull weight slightly. Now, a next step would be to make a complete new trigger/hammer/sear set. If I were to undertake this, it'd be a lighter, smoother pull, and it would be 2-stage. However I need to understand the market MUCH better before committing to a project of this magnitude.
