This was treated as a semiautomatic shotgun by the South African police, and Walker redesigned it in 1991 to be manually indexed (by pivoting the front grip and barrel shroud between shots). The original Striker version of the gun used a wind-up spring-powered 12-round cylinder coupled with a gas auto-ejection system for all but the final round fired.
He partnered with the owner of the Armsel company to finance production, which was actually done by a company called Aserma Manufacturing. The Striker shotgun was designed by a Rhodesian named Hilton Walker in the late 1970s, although not manufactured until after he had emigrated to South Africa. This is Lot 1146 in the upcoming October 2019 Morphy Extraordinary auction.
