This is a photo of the Kel-Tec KSG: A brilliant bullpup pump-action shotgun with dual selectable magazines and capacity for 14 rounds. It was just announced in January 2011. Because it’s a bullpup it will be easier to handle than any conventional shotgun. The parallel magazine tubes make a “switch-to-slug” operation as easy as flicking the magazine selector. Everybody who wants a pump-action 12-gauge and can afford it will buy at least one of these.<\/p>\n
I hope a company with more manufacturing capacity copies this design. Kel-Tec produces several ingenious guns but they have never been able to meet demand. I know dealers who have been on waiting lists for guns like the Sub2000<\/a> and RFB<\/a> for years<\/em>. Demand for the KSG will certainly be orders of magnitude greater than anything they have yet produced. Freedom Group<\/a>, please steal this design!<\/p>\n [March Update<\/strong>: Never mind! UTAS has announced they will begin domestic production this year of the UTS-15<\/a>, a bullpup shotgun very similar to the KSG. Advantages over the KSG apparently include locating the magazine tubes above the barrel (for better recoil control), round-count indicators, and the ability to automatically alternate tubes with each shot (to keep it balanced). A disadvantage appears to be that it ejects sideways. The South African NEOSTEAD<\/a> is another similar bullpup pump-action shotgun, and the only thing keeping it out of the U.S. is the silly BATFE restriction on importing shotguns that are not sufficiently suited to “sporting purposes.”<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is a photo of the Kel-Tec KSG: A brilliant bullpup pump-action shotgun with dual selectable magazines and capacity for 14 rounds.
