 Image of the Pancor Jackhammer The Pancor Corporation Jackhammer is a combat shotgun. It is a 12 gauge, gas-operated automatic weapon. It is one of very few fully automatic shotguns, and although patented in 1987, it never entered full scale production. Only a few working prototypes of the Jackhammer were ever built. Some sources state that only two fully automatic prototypes exist. In the late 1990s, the current owner of the design, Mark III, attempted to sell the patents, prototypes, and production rights for $350,000 (US).

Technical Definitions The weapon, excluding the barrel, is constructed largely of a rynite plastic in order to reduce weight. It features a bullpup layout to preserve a 525 mm barrel length in an overall 787 mm package. The gun is fed by a 10 round capacity center-rotating drum using conventional 12 Gauge cartridges. The gun weighs 4.57 kg and has a maximum rate of fire of 240 rpm. The drum's method of rotation is very similar to the Webley-Fosbery semi-automatic revolver. The barrel of a firearm is the tube, usually metal, through which a controlled explosion is released in order to propel a projectile out of the end at great speed. ...

The floating barrel is driven forward by gas pressure from the fired round. It is returned by a spring and moves the drum operating rod, breaking the tight seal between the barrel and the drum and allowing the drum to revolve to offer the next round. On the return stroke the barrel and drum are re-sealed allowing the round to be fired without loss of gas. Spent cartridges are not ejected, remaining in the magazine. Approximately, the partial pressure of a gas in atmospheres in a mixture or solution is what would be the pressure of that gas if all other components of the mixture or solution suddenly vanished without its temperature changing. ...
