Subdeacon Joe Posted January 16 Posted January 16 https://www.weaponsandwar.tv/videos/cobray-terminator-12ga-shotgun "The Cobray Terminator is an unusual - and unusually impractical - single-shot 12 gauge shotgun. It uses a sort of open bolt system in which the barrel is under spring pressure, and slams backwards into a fixed firing pin when the trigger is pulled. Only about 1500 of these were made before they were discontinued due to poor sales (not because of ATF intervention, as some people believe)." 2 1 1 Quote
Capt. James H. Callahan Posted January 16 Posted January 16 It would probably work better if you load a round. JHC 1 1 Quote

Complete video It even fired a couple times. I think the device he was recording with heavily suppresses the audio when the shell fired. 1 Quote

Sort of like the one minute cooking videos that don't show every knife cut of the person dicing an onion. Thanks @Sedalia Dave for posting the full video. 1 1 Quote

It looks like you could modify it to eject when cocked,but, since I haven't held and examined one,I can't say for sure. I'd imagine a spring loaded button ejector in the "bolt face" would be the easiest and simplest way to do it. In the longer video that is exactly what it is supposed to do. However the design is so poor that it doesn't do a very good job of ejecting the shell after it is extracted. Watch the longer video and you'll see what I mean. 1 Quote
Sedalia Dave Posted January 17 Posted January 17 I suspect that if you disassembled it and polished out all the machining marks and strategically polished the action where needed it would work a lot better. Kind of like the action job to make a Stoeger easier to open. 1 Quote
Dapper Dave Posted January 17 Posted January 17 Ian does most of his work down here in Tucson area. He has a LOT of awesome videos and travels all over the world getting to play with some truly wild firearms. I'll bet that stupid Philippine slam fire special would work better with new springs, and still be a horrible POS. 1 Quote
