The Kel-Tec KSG represents a distinct approach to the combat shotgun platform, leveraging a bullpup configuration to achieve exceptional maneuverability without compromising barrel length or capacity. Engineered for reliability and operational flexibility, this pump action shotgun integrates a unique dual-tube magazine system, establishing it as a formidable option for tactical applications and specialized competitive disciplines.
Key Features
Dual-Tube Feed System
The KSG employs an innovative dual-tube magazine system, permitting the operator to select feed from either the left or right tube via a manual selector lever positioned behind the trigger guard. This design facilitates a substantial 14+1 round capacity, accommodating 6+6+1 or 7+7+1 shells depending on individual ammunition length, thereby providing extended operational duration and the capability to stage different ammunition types for specific engagement scenarios.
Compact Bullpup Design
Its bullpup architecture positions the action and magazine behind the trigger group, significantly reducing overall length while retaining a standard 18.50-inch barrel. This configuration optimizes the shotgun’s footprint, enhancing close-quarters maneuverability and facilitating easier transport and storage without sacrificing projectile velocity or pattern consistency.
Robust Construction
The KSG is constructed with a hardened steel receiver, ensuring structural integrity and long-term durability under demanding conditions. The dual magazine tubes are permanently welded in place, contributing to the system’s overall rigidity. The grip and stock assembly are fabricated from glass-reinforced nylon (Zytel), a material selected for its high strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to environmental factors. Field stripping is simplified by two push-out pins, which conveniently store within the grip when removed, streamlining maintenance procedures.
Accessory Integration
This platform arrives equipped with integrated top and bottom Picatinny accessory rails. These provisions allow for direct mounting of optics, illumination devices, laser aiming modules, and vertical foregrips, enabling comprehensive modularity to adapt the shotgun to specific operational requirements. Additionally, built-in forward and rear sling loops facilitate secure carry options, with a basic sling included for immediate deployment.
Recoil Mitigation
To enhance shooter comfort and control, the KSG features a soft rubber butt pad. This component is engineered to mitigate felt recoil impulse, facilitating quicker follow-up shots and extended training sessions without undue fatigue.
