At least two working Jackhammer prototypes were known to exist, yet the system never saw production. By Staff Writer
The Pancor Jackhammer was an ill-fated design of American gunsmith John Andersen. The system was designed around the idea of making a combat shotgun capable of repeating, or fully-automatic, fire.
The base Jackhammer was a gas-operated system capable of full automatic fire. A revolving ammo-cassette would feed the ten 12-gauge rounds to fire, allowing for the automatic process to be fulfilled. The system featured conventional iron sites and an integrated carrying handle. Reports claim that at least two working prototypes were developed and produced, but alas, the system never saw any real military buyers and thusly the system and its design failed to materialize.
