Heckler & Koch 512Although it bears the name of the legendary German gun manufacturer, the 512 was actually produced by the Italian shotgun manufacturer Franchi. H&K had commissioned Franchi to design and build it, while they handled the marketing and sales to law enforcement agencies. It was not intended to be for the civilian market, however a contract overrun meant a handful did end up being sold outside of the LEO market. Franchi is famously known for producing the SPAS-12 and you can see certain similarities between it and the 512. It features a very similar receiver layout, push-button safety, oversized release, and most notably the diverter muzzle device. This turns the shotgun’s normal circular pattern into more of a squashed oval, effectively spreading the pellets in a wider oblong pattern. Depending where you get your info, there are less than 300 of these shotguns in the U.S, making them extremely rare and collectable. (GRH) -- source link
