We have explored various bores, chokes, lengths, configurations...the only thing I haven't seen is a bullpup which I'm sure exists. What room is left for improvement?
You've never seen a bullpup shotgun?.the only thing I haven't seen is a bullpup which I'm sure exists.

If the entire new shell were made of a polymer that could keep the cost down, but we've not quite got that perfected yet. Have to be able to reliably extract with a polymer rim.
Yes, give us these things. Also, a beautiful semi auto. Something to bridge the gap between a Tupperware gas gun and a swanky o/u. The benelli ethos is a step in the right direction. Now make it heavier and cheaper.It'd be nice if someone could figure out a way to make a quality over/under at a three-figure price point. The price gap between a "good pump" and a "good O/U" is HUGE. Comparing Brownings to Brownings, you're looking at about a 3x price increase.
And redesign the O/U mechanism so that dry-firing doesn't damage the gun.
These aren't huge paradigm shifts, but they'd be nice to see.
Personally, I'd like to see a transfer bar or hammer block design implemented on a 870, eliminating the need for "cruiser safe" empty chamber carry. If I'm not mistaken, dropping a loaded 870 can result in a negligent discharge. Not sure about other brands.
