In today’s Photo, we’re looking at a Hatsan Escort AutoDefend TFS 12 gauge semi-auto shotgun
I never really understood the phrase “going mediaeval on someone” – not until I put these two monsters in one room together: The Hatsan Escort AutoDefend TFS 12 gauge semi-auto shotgun with its 14” barrel including a heatshield and a fibre optic front sight, the folding stock that reminds me of the Franchi SPAS 12 and that has a five round shell holder (in addition to the 5+1 mag capacity) – and the Warmonger cleaver by Zu Bladeworx.
Now I get it
