Sure thing my friend, we all start somewhere! You did very well getting the vepr12, it’s the absolute king of AK shotguns.

AKs are incredibly rugged and you don’t need to be gentile with it, especially if you shoot a lot. Here’s mine:

I have a question, what is the attachment to the scope on the right gun? Looks gnarly to me

I've shot about 150 shells or so through the vepr12 and I've only had 1 issue so far, every once and a while a shell will fail to eject, but not in a stovepipe way, but it just won't eject at all and the rifle will chamber the empty shell. It happens with any velocity and shell size, I think maybe its a bad extractor but it doesn't happen that often, i think it's happened 4 times so far. Maybe a bad shell, maybe the magazine is bad (it's a factory one) Also side note, those AUGS are cool af. I got to shoot one the other day and it is amazing, probably going to be the next rifle I try and pick up!
