American company Mossberg & Sons has announced that it has received a new contract from the Pentagon worth approximately $11.6 million.

The agreement provides for the supply of an additional batch of Mossberg 590A1 pump-action shotguns for the US Army.

Mossberg 590A1 shotguns usually cost between $800 and $1,000 per unit under large government contracts. This price often includes not only the weapon itself, but also spare parts kits, accessories, and technical support. Thus, we are talking about the purchase of approximately 12,000 to 14,000 weapons.

According to Sandboxx News, this batch is being purchased by the US Army as a means of combating drones. They are planned to be used in conjunction with special tungsten shot ammunition to shoot down small UAVs.

The military has ordered a model with a 17-inch barrel — a specific configuration that was originally designed for convenient placement in submarine racks, but has now proven effective for mobile anti-drone groups.

The tungsten TSS shot performs much differently than lead or steel. #9 TSS carries the energy of #4 or #5 at greater distances. With many many more projectiles. TSS is ideal for drones.

Sweeeeeeet! I love Mossberg. Such a great American company.

I have a 590A1, it's OK for what it is....I still prefer the Rem. 870 Police Magnum.

The "fighting shotgun" will always have a place in the .mil inventory.

They had better give them trap shooting classes.

Those skeet ranges for WWII preliminary aerial gunner training would be a good training template to start from.

IIRC after stationary training, they progressed to the back of moving vehicles.

BTW.....The shell has a payload of 2 oz.

From an ARF Member:

I have consistently killed geese at 80+ yards with TSS 9s.

A shooting client of mine gifted me a box, and wanted my thoughts. It is as effective as it is expensive.....$25 a round.

My A5 Rhodesian (with a steel rated barrel and gas ring mod) would shine in this application.
