I was discussing the new Auto-5 'Sweet Sixteen'. It is very nice substitute for SxS or 0/U shotgun.


The new Sweet 16 doesn't use an inertia system either.


I know the old ones used flat coil spring (early guns) then round coil spring wrapped around the magazine tube for recoil driven type of operation. I thought new ones also have spring driven system. I shot one several times, but since it wasn't mine I didn't have chance to look on the inside. Anyhow I learned something new, Being light weight and very good handling it is very suitable substitute for double barrel shotgun. I would never suggest my 16ga Remington 1100 because very few want 7lb 4oz shotgun. It works fine for me because I will use it for hunting, clays and HD.
