Looks more like a shotgun to me. Only reason it looks similar to an assault rifle is because of the carrying handle which is above the trigger and the protuding sight. Its frame is too small to look like an AR, which is larger in the middle and around the receiver. The 1077 looks like the Benelli M1 Super 90. It also looks like a Remington 11-87 Police/Tactical shotgun or other similar looking shotguns.
