Hey guys, thanks for tuning in to another video on forgottenweapons.com
I'm Ian McCollum and I have previously done a video on the Cobray Terminator
but I didn't have a chance to shoot one
and so apparently I'm something of a masochist because uh
When one of you guys when one of our viewers offered to loan me one to do some shooting with I said, yes
I would absolutely do that and I sent him FFL information and then I thought to myself
Why on earth would I have done that?
Well, anyway, I did recently have a chance to do some shooting with a MAG-7 Techno Arms MAG-7 with its proper ammunition and came to the conclusion that while it's not a
particularly good shotgun or a particularly good idea
It's not horrible.
And so that leaves open the position of what really is the worst shotgun out there ever and I suspect
The Terminator is probably going to fit that role. So these were made by Cobray in the 80s to be entirely honest
I still don't really understand why.
The only thing that this fulfills in the market is like this
14 year olds Lamborghini sort of poster on the wall kind of appeal of "Boy
it looks mean and evil." and I suspect that when you're shooting it it will feel mean and evil as well
Just for the record to point out. It does have a collapsing stock with no good cheek weld.
Uh. I am told that with heavy loads in particular the stock will tend to collapse in on its own
and bust you in the face with the rear of the receiver, we're not going to try that out today
It has a front sight a very crude front sight. It has no rear sight. And of course, it's a slam fire gun
So I have to depress this lock
pull the thing forward and
Then when you fire it the barrel
slams backwards and fires
this is all a recipe for a really awful gun, and I don't understand why anyone would want one but
That won't stop me from trying one. So
one question is
When you're using this
Will the shells actually just fall out the back and
There is actually a little there's a little lever in there
does appear to prevent the shells from falling out the back if you're saying it upwards that's
Helpful, I guess
And it does have a safety notch in it like a submachine gun
So you can prevent it make sure it's not going to drop and slam your finger
Alright, I guess I can't put this off any further. So
Well, that's less than spectacular it did lock
That's awesome
There's only the tiniest of dimples on that primer
The breech block is screwed all the way in which is what positions the firing pin. Let's try another round
Put this in the safe position snap it all the way in there
Alright let's try it again
Jeez that's unpleasant
Let's try this one more time
There we go
Again a bit less than totally impressive.
Another little teeny dimple we'll give this one more try. I think I have another one of the white ones
This was the super patriotic red, white, and blue Federal el cheapo shotgun ammo
There we go
Into the fire position.
Gah! That actually hurts. Uh.
I'm not used to guns that actually physically hurt that aren't like really big
That's just really obnoxiously unpleasant
Does smell like marshmallows
So I think we can safely say I am perfectly happy going out on a limb saying this is in fact
the dumbest most worthless stupid idea for a gun ever actually marketed and I think it's one saving grace is that
Occasionally, it doesn't actually work and that saves you the punishment on your shoulder. So if you want one of these because they look like
This. Then be my guest go for it. If you're looking for a shotgun that actually has any practical utility whatsoever
This is not your gun. Thanks for watching guys. We'll be back tomorrow
With well, I can guarantee you with a much better gun. Thanks for watching
