...for a total of -10%. 95+15 = 110. So you're saying when you pull the trigger, the gun actually moves forward and tries to leap out of your hands with 10% of the force a normal gun recoils?
Shhh....the antis might think that's possible
JonnyBender ... I didn't mean to ruffle feathers in that manner, it is probabaly my splitting hairs between tactical and LCF (aforementioned Look Cool Factor from previous post), some pieces do have lots of LCF when all kitted out and might be fun at the range. I am more of a streamlined thinker when it comes to tactical ... a great paint cam job for the field of operation be it FIBUA or other and stuff that works and won't stop working when you need it as well as making a bigger signature to give yourself away.
As for the battle overseas ... I agree. Sun Tzu says "When you do battle, even if you are winning, if you continue for a long time it will dull your forces and blunt your edge; if you besiege a citadel, your strength will be exhausted... it is never beneficial to have a military operation continue for a long time ... "
I hope this might mend some fences ... and PS ... I had Cheerio's ...

Tacticool is like the BFG in those shoot 'em up video games...
It looked cool and , well it looked cool.
I'd prefer a Lambo over a Pinto even though the jack knife doors are only doors
and you only legally can drive either of them 100km/h
Same for Giselle Bunchen vs. say.... Tyne Daly.
I'd pick Giselle over the Lambo. (in case you're listening God)

IMHO the MM's finish looks best with good wood; save the tactics for SWAT.
They handle the best in this configuration. Folding stocks and pistol grips are for silly billies...and if you can't handle the recoil get a bb gun.
Door breachers make me laugh....i'd pay good money to see someone try blasting off a hinge.

Hmmm, I've gotta say, there's sensible posts made by both sides... I suppose there's no one "real" definition of what a "tactical shotgun" is. I agree with Urbanly that, in practice, it should be designed to serve a specific purpose well, and that it should fulfill that purpose reliably. A shotgun is really more of a close combat weapon, and to me that says: compact, easy to aim, easy to shoot, with maximum damage caused. Personally, a semi-auto with a short barrel, Knoxx Spec Ops stock, and 6 round side-saddle would be perfect... No scope, no fancy paint, no shiny trinkets. In a close-combat situation, I don't want to have to cycle the action manually or worry about things breaking. If it jams, then I've got a 9mm semi-auto as a backup.
Then again, most of us won't be using these shotguns in a real "tactical" situation (unless zombies rise up...), so they don't need to be so reliable or take so much abuse. In that case, I think heat shields, flashlights, and red-dot sights look really cool, and I've got nothing against putting them on a shotgun.
In any event, as has been said before, modifying a shotgun should be personal: don't do something just because someone else says it's the way to go. If you like the way something looks, and it works for you, do it. I think JonnyBender has an awesome looking tacticool shotty... then again, the one novan3 posted has me drooling as well, and I think the combination of satiny smooth wood and bright metal looks better than most girls in lingerie.
There's a guy that works at the range I go to that has an AR15 all kitted out... the thing looks vicious. Laser sight, flashlight, scope, spare magazines, the whole nine yards. It looks really cool, and everyone has a great time shooting it. But, if the #### hit the fan, I'd still rather have my FEG handgun than his AR.
