Only moderately practical due to the 9mm smg in an 18lb platform.
HOWEVER, ULTRA COOL!!!

Quite cool, though the placement of the shotgun trigger is a big fail in my opinion, it should be reasonably simple to link the trigger mechanism to a trigger up by the SMG trigger. Also, it should be possible to build it with a semi auto shotgun part.
Except for those two really minor issues and the bloody NFA, really cool gun.
Sweet mother of God, I think I’ve pegged my geekmeter! A little clunky in the “retro” configuration, but with the intended 10mm explosive tip caseless standard light armor piercing ammo and 99 round capacity I can accept clunky. You have brought me joy, Zero.
Simon, it is a live firing mock up of a Science Fiction movie gun. The shotgun portion in the movie “Aliens” was a greanade launcher. A pump grenade launcher. It is correct to the movie and they did a outstanding job on it. Where they placed the trigger was also right on for the movie. I am sure the next time the prop masters for a movie want your expert opinion, they’ll hit you up on here for it.
The original intent was to build them for sale. Even as an expensive gun it would find a market. When I ran a commercial indoor shooting range I was talking to a couple of people who were trying to make the parts needed for building replicas. It would be a real cool rental gun at a range. Not at all practical but damn well a lot of fun.
Oh god, I think I just had a nerdgasm!!!!!!
Ok, if its correct in regards to the movie i change my opinion to just “awesome”!
I figured that they were cutting corners on the replica. Havent seen Aliens for more than fifteen years and never seen the whole movie.
Note to Peacekeeper: IIRC, the guys who make the USAS-12 full-rock 12-gauge have also developed a grenade that will work in it. Which means it would work in this, too.
