The Super-Shorty is a compact, stockless, pump-action shotgun chambered in 12-gauge (2¾ and 3").[1] Most production models are based on the Mossberg Maverick 88 shotgun, though some are made from Mossberg 500 and Remington 870 receivers.[2][3] The shotgun features a spring-loaded, folding foregrip.[4] A 20-gauge model is available on special order.[4]
In the United States, civilian ownership of the shotgun usually requires a $5 tax stamp and registration as an Any Other Weapon to be in compliance with the National Firearms Act.[5][6] As the weapon is originally manufactured without a shoulder stock, it considered a smooth-bore handgun, and thus an AOW, rather than a short-barrelled shotgun.[6]
