No, no, no...my go to gun is 50rnds of 5.7X28

I have a Mossberg 590, and an old 4-10, but never really got into shotguns.

When it comes down to it, its all personal preferance. I really hope I never have to use any of my guns other than for target practice, but were a situation to arise, I am more than confident in the 5.7X28 round and my ability to use it.

Thats like saying shooting an AR-15 is the same as shooting a .22 because the bullet diameter is similar.

Here's a picture of a 5.7 projectile next to a .22LR round...

So not really like a .22 at all, other than the bullet diameter. Its more like a cut down 5.56

It has less recoil than an AR-15, and seems to me like it can do the same damage in close range.

Here's a pic of it next to a 5.56 round.

You posted a picture of .22 bird shot. LOL

I'd like to see what that would do in close quarters to a person.

I bet it'd hurt like a dozen bigarse bee stings at once

it's rat shot.

I don't wanna get shot by one...those little number 12 pellets might suck.

I was referring to the recoil generated by the round anyway, I know about the power on it!

Yeah, I just picked up a couple boxes of rat shot.

Do I need to take any special considerations or care when shooting it out of a rifled barrel?

Probably just gonna shoot it for fun at short range targets.

nope.

it's designed for it.

I assume it's CCI as that's about all you'll ever find.

Ive heard that the P90's they used in the show were Tokyo Marui airsoft guns. They look pretty freakin realistic.

I saw the gun the OP posted at a gun show before I even knew anything about guns. When I saw it I was like LOLWUT?
