Guess I was wrong, sure looks quite similiar to a USAS 12

Does anyone remember a similar drum (basically recoil-less) shotgun that was made back in the early 80's in Ridgway, PA. The name of the gun escapes me right now, but I thought the guns were rendered illegal and taken off the market?? Oh, damn, I wish I could remember what they were called.
The USAS 12 was made by Gilbert Equipment Co. Not sure where they are located but they started making them in the 1980s in South Korea by Daewoo since Gilbert didn't have manufacturing systems. Of course they are NFA DDs so they were harder to buy. I've only seen 1 for sale over the years.
