Mossberg 500 Roadblocker: The most badass pump action shotgun ever
If this does not keep hippies awake at night and zombies at bay I do not know what will. The Mossberg 500 Road Blocker a real badass. Pistol grip, heat shield and BFMB (Big “Fraking” Muzzle Brake”).

The two baffle muzzle brake looks like it was ripped off a .50 BMG anti-material rifle.
The Roadblocker muzzle brake in action. Note the bead sight.
For comparison: M107 / Barrett M82 .50 BMG anti-material rifle
The Road Blocker is chambered in 12 gauge, has a 18.5″ barrel and a 6 round magazine.
It was previously sold as a TALO exclusive but this year it is now a standard production shotgun. I am not sure what the MSRP will be but if I had to guess I would say $400.
There should be some good reverse thrust from the muzzle brake. If used correctly you should be able to follow up the blast of buckshot with shotgun-in-the-guts. Follow the instructions in my handy guide:
Just joking. Don’t get to excited!
The diagram made it worth it.
Ooooh, where can I buy the BFMB? I already have 2 of those shotguns, an 18.5″/6-shot pistol-grip and a 20″/8-shot pistol-grip-stock, both 12 gauge. Wonder if it would help with the kick from these Remington Sluggers I’ve been shooting. They’re almost too much to handle in with just a pistol grip.
That just makes me chuckle. I bet it’s LOUD.
did they design this exclusively for fighting cyclopses?
it’s pretty ridiculous…ridiculously awesome!
Now there is a good home defense weapon!
Brake. Muzzle brake.
Good post.

But can I just buy the BFMB for my existing Mossberg 500?
MadRocketScientist, very unlikely. The bead sight would get in the way. I would not be surprised if some accessory company produces them as an aftermarket part if the Road Blocker becomes popular.
For a BFMB, I’ll knock of the bead.
I sense a Instructor position at a major shoting school ver, very soon. With Diagrams like that, who needs trigger time?
Guys, if you like the drawing please share this page on reddit, digg, stumble upon, facebook or whatever social-thing you use. Thanks.
Wow. First Mossberg started putting those weird cookie-cutter thingies** on the front of their police/home defense shotguns, and now Barrett-style muzzle brakes. Guess Mossberg is going after the Walter Mitty/mall ninja market…
(**Somebody told me that the “cookie-cutters” were actually breaching attachments. Guess that might come in handy if you leave home forgetting your house keys…but somehow remember to bring your Mossberg breaching shotty…)
“too excited”
Looks like the army of darkness type holster is out thanks to the BFMB.
The bummer is I’ve already got this minus strapped pump and BFMB as the 590. (hint to Mossberg, just sell the BFMB!)
See, what’s missing from that is the telescopic sight on top. And the laser. And the pony.

Warning: Loud music and much gore. Definitely NSFW.
Oh, and yes – it’s a muzzle BRAKE.
I would, however I am computer stupid and the right clicky no worky!
I wonder how the guys down at the trap field would take it if I showed up with that? Swap the pistol grip for a full-length stock … that brake ought to make me LOTS of new friends!
I brake for muzzles?
spelling fixed, thanks for letting me know.
Meh, looks like it only holds 6 cartridges , the “Persuader” holds 8, aside from that it’s the same except for lacking have the BFMB (swapped the pistol grip for a knox-stock anyway).
*note to self: aquire BFMB
bfmb must be painted bright orange just so everybody knows this ain’t a real gun…
Wait… wait! If the BFMB pulls the gun into the bad guy, then how much cooler would it be if you had a grappling hook barbed pointy spear thing that you could shoot into him first!
Okay. I’m being silly now. I’ll stop.
Why doesn’t the pump handguard have spikes? No spikes? FAIL.
At the very least, the BFMB should be designed like a “flanged mace”, perfect for zombie eradication.
Like this, assuming HTML works in comments. If not, google “Flanged Mace”, then get out there and make me some BFMB’s like that, pronto.

Benelli is better
The Benelli is also a whole lot more money!
Wow. Six rounds.
Anyone have a line on the BFMB?
Heath, my guess it will be available in the first quarter of this year.
Another note- Benelli doesn’t have a BFMB. HA.
I have a basic model 500 with 18″ barrel and wood stock. I’d like to convert it to a tactical style 500. Do you know if the synthetic folding butt stock, pistol grip and forened are available and interchangeable with the basic 500?
Thanks!
2 qusetions:
I want to buy road blocker for home defense. My local gun guys says that using this thing at night will almost render you deaf after first shot and put out so much flash you may not readjust qucikly for 2nd shot if needed. Qusetions – 1) noise and 2) flash?
ROTFLMAO!
Frankly, I see no practical (i.e. actual shooting) use for the BFMB… but it sure as heck LOOKS bad!
whats the size of the heat shield, on that piece, I have the same model, a 13 1/2 inch didn’t fit, I used it on another mossberg I have. Anyone no
Let us presume that you are a person of vicarious nature. You decide to entertain yourself by entering someone’s home other than your own. After the lights come on and your eyes adjust to the brightness you observe ‘MOM’ (someone else’s) standing in front of you with that “clubby looking thing” on the end of a shotgun. Do we A: Run away? B: Stay and see what lives in that ‘Big Hole’ you looking into? C: Hang around long enough, act stupid, talk s-it, and see if ‘MOM’ has enough brass between her legs to pull the trigger then stuff that BFMB into the hole she just put into your chest… The psychology of something like the BFMB ‘CAN’ work for you “Sometimes”. Thats where it gets interesting, and quit possibly you will only have to fill out a Police Report, and not go to the ‘Grand Jury’… I wish I had one on the last ‘bar check’ I was envolved in. When you rack one of those, and people see that thing, I bet the place would get a whole lot quiter-faster than the place i was in…. (MAYBE NOT!)
who cares if it only holds 6 rounds, you can still use it as a club!!!!
RE: Don’s question. Yes you can do an unlimited amount of tactical work to the standard 500. Please feel free to contact me with questions. I’ve found eBay to be an extremely resourcefull tool. The knoxx/ Blackhawk recoil reducing stock is my personal favorite tactical upgrade. eBay for $99.00… You may need a scope, or reflex sight. I would recommend a holo sight. My suggestion would be Eotech or Aimpoint brands. Bushnell is quality as well, I Picked one up for $199… You can find them for less, but they have issues holding zero. There is a multitude of foregrips available, some equiped with a weaver rail. I have tons of rail mounts all over mine to switch it up when I get bored. Good luckl in your endevour. Helpfull search tools on google.
just bought a road blocker, its only taking 2 rounds in the magazine tube third cartridge gets stuck. Also, the magazine tube has this sliding noise going on when the gun is pointed in the air and down to the ground. Is that normal?
just wondering, i mean yeah the muzzle break looks awsome but what is the signifigance of it, besides reducing recoil and muzzle clime. it looks like overkill
I just picked one up today and after reading the owners manual you will see that there is a wooden dowel inside the magazine tube that has to be removed first before you can load a full 5 plus one in the chamber. The wooden dowel is I assume what you hear sliding back and forth when you point the gun up and then down. Good Luck.
What ever you might think about it’s performance, this shotgun is a work of Art!!! I want it to perform, I need it to Perform: But that being said, it’s a thing of beauty!!!!!
There is probably a dow rod in the tube. Try unscrewing the plug at the end, carefully: it has a spring that can go flying. Remove the dow. Replace plug. Insert six rounds. Have fun.
Hey Bill; Thanks for your Input. been there done that. On a lighter note, how’s the recoil. purchased last week @ havn’t had a chance to test fire. That being said, ……… It’s still a work of Art!
Kick is no more than a 9mm..This is a awesome weapon and the best home defence I have ever seen.Of course I keep my Glock 9mm on night stand for instant reaction(like kicked in door)
Bumper sticker DON’T RE-ELECT ANYONE..Available on the web for 1.50
I bought a dozen and took em to my Barber shop and the were alll gone in 2 hours
That looks like it might help while hunting varmints. ALEX RAIA is a RAT!
