The US "Streetsweeper" and all other high capacity box/rotary mag fed shotguns were declared,"Destructive Devices" same as hand grenades, Grenade launchers, Recoilless rifles, German '88's, etc. by the 94 crime bill I believe. Now all of those type weapons are more severely restricted and require registration and supplemental taxation just like machineguns do in this country. Land of the Free and all that.
Now, I believe #2 is called a "Neostead" it is also South African in origin and as you mentioned, works much like a conventional pump shotgun, only backwards.
Good stuff, Keep 'em coming
