This video showcases the Pancor Jackhammer Mk3, a fascinating and rare selective-fire combat shotgun concept developed by Korean War veteran John Anderson. Designed for high capacity and fully automatic fire, the project ultimately failed due to lack of funding. The video features a partially completed prototype of the Mk3, which never received its firing mechanism but is registered as a transferrable machine gun. It highlights the unique blow-forward, gas-operated design and its historical context within military firearm development.
This video provides an in-depth look at the Pancor Jackhammer, a rare and unique select-fire combat shotgun designed in the 1980s. The presenter details its innovative mechanism, inspired by historical firearms like the Mannlicher 1894 and Nagant revolvers. While the prototype was heavy and slow to reload, it proved the concept's viability. Later models were submitted to the US military but ultimately rejected after destructive testing, though they performed well. The sole surviving prototype, once owned by Movie Gun Services, is now the focus of the video, though it could not be fired due to liability. The video highlights its appearances in popular culture due to its distinctive design and offers a comprehensive tour of its mechanics.
