Default Check out the new shotgun!!

Was flipping through the latest Tactical Weapons and saw this new offering from Kel-Tec intended for LEO use.

It is a bullpup, pump action 12 gauge shotgun with a capacity of 14 rounds. No box mags, no rotary mags, just two 7-round magazines mounted side by side. And since it is a slide-action repeater...its civilian legal just about anywhere that doesn't ban magazines with more than 10 rounds or high-capacity autoloaders....which means anywhere outside the People's Republic of California!!!!

Its called the KSG:

Length: 26.1 inches
Width: 2.3 inches
Height: 6.9 inches at the pistol grip
Weight Empty: 6.9 pounds
Weight Loaded: 8.5 pounds
Caliber: 12 gauge
Chambering: 3-inch Magnum
Barrel Length: 18.5 inches
Feed Device: independent, parallel horizontal tube magazines
Magazine Selection: to rear of pistol grip
Capacity: 7 rounds each in two mags (7+7), 1 in the chamber
Sights: Anything M1913 rail compatible
Action: Slide-action repeater
Safety Selection: Cross-bolt

Not in production yet....but the reviews so far are impressive!

That thing is pretty bad-ass. I'd like a range day with one. And since the CA hi-cap ban doesn't apply to tubular magazines, I might actually get the chance.

Yeah, but Kel-Tec announced this particular joke a few months ago.

I'd be a lot less skeptical about it if it weren't a Kel-Tec product. I don't have a good feeling about their QC, based on P32/P3AT horror stories.

It's legit, I've seen info about the KSG from some time in February. It appears to be a reworking of the South African Neostad shotgun.

Yeah, exactly, it's based on the earlier Neostad, which was never available in the US if I'm not mistaken.

we aren't in tomorrow. your just living in the past.

but really i'm looking forward to this. only problem i see is the conveiniance store cops might decide it has no legitimate sporting purpose and label it a destructive device.(at which point i fork over the tax and file the paperwork and get one anyway.)
