Sure, it looks like low-effort Starship Troopers cosplay, but the new Tavor shotgun has three magazine tubes and brings a lot of 12 gauge to the party.
Introduced by the Pennsylvania-based subsidiary of Israel Weapon Industries, the Tavor TS12 is the company’s first entry to the shotgun scene and Casey Flack, CEO of IWI US, says they wanted to introduce something unique to the market: a 15-shot self-loading scattergun that is just under 29-inches long overall.
“The TS12 is it; compact, easy to use and maintain, and with a large magazine capacity, it is ideal for home defense, as well as a sporting shotgun,” Flack said.
The Tavor TS12 uses a trio of 5-shot (using 2.75-inch shells) tubular magazines that automatically loads the next round in the 3-inch chamber when the mag is rotated into place. When using 3-inch shells, the capacity drops by one shell in each mag. The 18.5-inch barrel is threaded for Benelli or Beretta chokes and one is included. Weight empty is advertised as being 8 pounds. The shotgun includes a one-piece
