This shotgun has some ridiculous speed due to a fairly innovative operating mechanism. All ammo used was full power buckshot and slugs. Today we take a dive on the Genesis Arms 12, a semi automatic magazine fed shotgun that actually works. We've previously reviewed a version of this gun but due to the change in operating system we felt it deserved a new video. The Gen 12 is made right here in Idaho and we're a fan. Hope you all enjoy the video.

    And they thought the slam fire trench guns were inhumane….
  • Charlie is clearly superior. His ability to handle the rake alone proves his combat effectiveness.

    AR 308 lower & Genesis 12 upper...its completely an AR designed rifle, magazine fed...American veteran made in Idaho. SWEET! Mine is on its way.

    As a proud and happy owner of my IW TS12. I will admit, this Gen 12 is one seriously badass shot gun. But at nearly double the cost of my TS12, Im still VERY happy in my purchase. And lets face it, if cost were no object we would all be buying AA-12 shotguns
  • @drasselll3243
    I feel like if this shotgun came out in a popular AAA videogame, it would be more busted than the AA12 and USAS-12 combined.

    I live minutes from where these shotguns are made in Idaho. I had the pleasure of meeting a couple of the co owners at the local range. They were test firing a couple shotguns mainly doing R&D on some new magazine designs. I was lucky enough to get to shoot a couple. First was serial number 2 that was the owners personal gun. The other was one that had a binary trigger in it. Since they were doing research they had to put many rounds thru them. I was lucky and was able to shoot several mags thru each. What an amazing gun!!! I however own a Saiga 12 and had it with me. I asked if they wanted me to get it and do a comparison since they both had never actually shot one. After several mags thru my Saiga they wanted to be able to tear it apart. But I've spent lots of time getting it to run all ammo very reliably and they had nothing bad to say. If the genesis was more budget friendly, I'd definitely own one!!!!

    Great video. Thanks. I'd like to see a comparison between this Gen-12 vs the VEPR-12 vs the AA-12.
  • @cjohns13
    The devastation of a shotgun with the ergonomics of a rifle, It’s almost perfect
  • That ballistic head shot was possibly the most brutal impact I've seen on here.
  • I want this gun now and I’m definitely love the competitive energy they just making each other better shooters love it
  • The way I audibly gasped when Micah threatened Charlie’s rake really just shows where my emotional ties lie with this channel.
  • @westswagger
    Can't believe Micha threatened Charlie's infinity rake like that. Brink of catastrophe.
  • @lynxbelow6922
    I come back to this video sometimes just for that intro. SICK AF

    Unbelievable what modern technology has created. Great work! Also, I was wondering with all of the improvements that are constantly being made in propellants and ammunition ballistics', can older style military (cold-war era) helmets and modern (post cold-war era) helmets really deflect rounds (grazing or glancing) shots? I still remember my DI's and instructors yelling at me to keep my head-down during infantry-combat-training. It's a given that most direct-shots will penetrate most helmet's but I've often wondered about deflected or glancing shots. Keep up the great work! Jeff-USMC-Retired.
  • @adrianpro143
    Charlie and Micah arguing about their shots is just hilarious 😂
  • @jonrounke7048
    Listening to Charlie, Micah, and Mike get competitive and banter is more entertaining than 99% of the "comedy" currently in the industry. You have something special there, I hope that dynamic continues to be developed and shared.
  • I love my iz 430 saiga 12... which is the magwell version, same as the recent vepr imports. It works amazing.
  • @Trevdawg48
    The best intro I've ever seen on a gun video. I want one of these so bad. I can afford it, but wouldn't be happy without the fun switch. Also, I agree with all the positive comments about Charlie. My man's hilarious.
