And the ATF doesn't view it as a shotgun either, so you can't call something that's not a shotgun a short barreled shotgun.Hmmmm.... since the Shockwave isnt a pistol, im not sure how you can but a pistol brace on it.

That is incorrect.It's still a "Firearm" and you can't make a firearm that over 26 inches OAL a pistol because a pistol is something that's under 26 inches in length.
That is also incorrect.So, you put a brace on a gun that's not a pistol and the manufacturer isn't recommending it be used as anything else and the ATF has said people not using brace's per manufacturer's recommendations doesn't violate any NFA of 1934 laws.
The ATFE Letter is available on the SB Tactical website referenced in the first post.
For $200, you can have any length barrel on your shotgun. It can have a pistol grip, or a full stock, or anything in between.
But people will spend tons of money on something like this.
It does look uncomfortable to shoot standard 12 gauge, but my thinking is it would be perfect with Aguila Minishells. 9 shots I think, lower recoil, and better aiming in a smaller, more compact package than a standard 18 inch shotgun.Looks like it's somewhat cheaper than buying the parts individually, plus you save on the tax stamp and skip the year wait. Some states don't allow SBS's either.
My objection is that it looks unpleasant to shoot, inadvertently shouldered or otherwise.
