I ran across an article on one that was written in the late 90's. It says..quote: In 1994 under the new US law it was classified as a Class III "Destructive device"
Are they refering to the AWB, if so is it legal to own now with out the Class III red tape?
I never considered a shotgun to be recreational (as in shooting cans and such) I always considered a shotgun as "sporting" (hunting, clay, etc.) But that thing looks wicked fun... And talk about home defence!!!???? Boy, howdy!:D

The AWB does not control the legality of destructive devices. They are regulated under NFA rules. There can be no new NFA items ( USAS 12 shotguns etc.) under the '86 machinegun ban, ones that can be owned by us peons that is. Firearms existing at the time of the ban could be grandfathered in if they were registered or amnesty registered later, otherwise they are contraband according to the BATFE.
 
They are still DD's regulated by NFA '34.

Bear in mind that they are notoriously ammo-sensitive, and that mags don't exactly grow on trees.

See thats what I was thinking....or maybe even '86 like fal308 said, but when I saw '94, I was like "hey...maybe there legal now!??"
And yes your right Tamara, the practicality of them is not very high up there...this as more just a curiosity about the law than the gun it's self...while it would be cool if someone walked up and said "here, you can have this" it's definatly low on my "wishlist"... ;)
