So, Germans can't match Italian shotguns? Wrong. HK CAWS was the
world's most advanced back in its day:

But don't get me wrong, I'm not arguing with you about the excellent
arms of Beretta, Franchi, or Benelli. I just wanted to show you that
HK DID try the autoshotgun project for the US and it didn't proceed.

That is one ugly shotgun. You Germans make boxy, unstylish arms that
cannot compare to Beretta, Franchi, or Benelli.

CAWS was a prototype design that never reached production. HK
prototypes tend to be pretty ugly, really, but usually get improved
form and ergonomics closer to production status. The bigger
disadvantage to the CAWS was the nonstandard ammunition. Read all
about it. http://www.hkpro.com/CAWS.htm
