AA-12 Features 20-round drum and 8-round box magazines will be available. Sol Invictus Arms plans for these guns to be limited editions of only 1,000 and is taking pre-orders on Armslist at $3,250.

The AA-12 shotgun is now available in semi-automatic for civilian use. Originally designed in the early 70s by Max Atchisson, the AA-12 was a fully automatic 12-gauge, low-recoil shotgun for military and law enforcement.

The AA-12 semi-automatic shotgun is finally available for sale to civilians. The semi-auto version of the Atchisson Assault-12 became a reality thanks to the hard work of Boje Cornils and Sol Invictus Arms.

A jackhammer (pneumatic drill or demolition hammer in British English) is a pneumatic or electro-mechanical tool that combines a hammer directly with a chisel. Hand-held jackhammers are generally powered by compressed air, but some are also powered by electric motors.
