Franchi's latest offering in its semi-automatic lineup is a 3 1/2-inch magnum waterfowl shotgun. The 12-gauge Intensity shotgun embodies the feel of smaller gauge guns, possible because the recoil spring encircles the magazine tube located forward of the receiver, keeping recoil in line with the shooter and helps reduce muzzle flip.

The shotgun comes with either a 26- or 28-inch barrel and sports a stepped, ventilated-rib, red fiber optic front sight and a set of three extended choke tubes.

MSRP is $1099 to $1199.

To see the shotgun, watch the video below, or visit FranchiUSA.

Aptly named, these cartridges would survive well into the 20th century, ultimately being conquered by the .22 Long Rifle cartridge. But in certain situations, the .22 Long cartridge still makes good sense, and actually has a few specialized applications.
