The Browning A5 (reborn 2012) revives the name of John Browning's original 1898 recoil-operated Auto-5 but uses a completely new kinematic-driven inertia system rather than the long-recoil design of its predecessor. It is chambered for 3-inch shells and uses a Humpback receiver profile that deliberately evokes the original A5's iconic silhouette. Type: Shotgun Action: Semi-Automatic Caliber: 12 Gauge Capacity: 4 Year introduced: 2012, Belgium Weight: 232 oz Overall length: 49.25" Status: Active Intended use: Waterfowl, Hunting, Sport
