We Chopped Down a Browning Auto-5: Does it Still Work?

James Reeves visits Austria Arms to check out one of the wildest shotguns ever featured on TFBTV: a sawed-off Browning Auto-5. Chopped down to the bare minimum by Martin and his brother, this hacked-up A5 is not just functional—it’s shockingly reliable and a blast to shoot. Originally designed by John Moses Browning in 1898, the Auto-5 was the first successful semi-automatic shotgun, and this version proves that even a century-old design can still deliver when brutally modified. James puts birdshot and slugs through this absurdly short A5 and comes away more than impressed. Should someone make a tactical version of this gun? You be the judge.
