The Rock Island Armory VRBP100A is a gas-operated 12 Gauge semi-automatic bullpup shotgun, precisely engineered to deliver practical performance and enhance maneuverability. Its compact architecture positions the action behind the pistol grip, effectively reducing overall length without compromising projectile velocity or magazine capacity. This design optimizes the platform for dynamic environments and close-quarters applications.
The VRBP100A reliably cycles both 2.75-inch and 3-inch shotgun shells, ensuring broad ammunition compatibility and operational flexibility. Its gas-operated semi-automatic action facilitates consistent cycling and mitigates felt recoil, promoting rapid follow-up shots and maintaining target acquisition. A key operational attribute is the detachable box magazine system, which provides a 5+1 capacity. This system integrates seamlessly for expedited reloads and consistent feeding, an advantage over traditional tube-fed configurations in high-stress scenarios. The 20-inch barrel length maintains effective ballistic performance while contributing to the shotgun’s compact and agile profile.
