The Auto Assault-12 (AA-12) originally designed and known as the Atchisson Assault Shotgun is a shotgun developed in 1972 by Maxwell Atchisson. The most prominent feature is reduced recoil. The current 2005 version has been developed over 18 years since the patent was sold to Military Police Systems Inc. The original design was the basis of several later weapons including the USAS-12 combat shotgun.
