The 18, 15, 11, 6, 3, and 2 gauge shells are the rarest of all; [10] owners of these types of rare shotguns will usually have their ammunition custom loaded by a specialist in rare and custom bores.

The Mark II/14 lacked the nosecap and had a full hunting-style stock.
RHINO specified a magazine capacity of 10 rounds, a requirement for the new ammunition to be incompatible with commercial 12 gauge shotguns, that felt recoil to be no greater than a Remington 870P firing M162 or M257 buckshot cartridges, and that the system provide penetration and incapacitation capability significantly better than M162 and M257.
The Xtrema2 was released in mid-2004, to answer the call from hunters and target shooters for a complete do-all shotgun.
