One of the many weapons seen on AMC’s smash hit TV series “Walking Dead” is a unique pump-action shotgun called the “Ultimate Tactical Shotgun” or UTS-15.
The weapon has also been spotted in video games like “Battlefield 4” and “Call of Duty: Ghosts.” The UTS-15 is built by the Turkish firearms manufacturer, UTAS-Makine.
The distinctive weapon is the subject of a field test review from sharpshooter Kirsten Joy Weiss. In a 4:30 video, Weiss puts the UTS-15 through some rigorous paces while explaining the many features of the shotgun.
The UTS-15 loads like many pump-action shotguns:
The difference in this weapon and a typical, single-barrel shotgun is the added capacity achieved by dual, selectable, seven-round tube magazines capable of holding 2 1/2 to 3-inch shells running along the top of the weapon.
With one shell in the chamber and each magazine carrying seven rounds, the fully loaded shotgun has 15 rounds.
Additionally, because the UTS-15 has separate magazines, you can load different types of ammo in each magazine. For example, the left magazine can be filled with birdshot and the right side with slugs. Weiss points out another design bonus of the shotgun: a selector switch just above the trigger “The UTS selector switch gives the unique ability to load each magazine with different rounds for different scenarios,” she said.
You can easily switch from one magazine to the other, or leave the switch in the center and the weapon will alternate from one side to the other.
The UTS-15 seemed to perform well in the video. However Weiss did note the shotgun experienced more than one jam. She states, “Upon further research, the UTS-15 is known for it’s feeding problems and other malfunctions.” Adding, “Gen 3 (the one being tested here) had the less malfunctions (than Gen 1 and 2).” Weiss also pointed out the jamming happened most often while shooting the UTS-15 “at speed.” Noting, “This is a particularly important factor if you plan on using the gun for home defense.”
Watch the UTAS UTS-15 in action as part of Kirsten Joy Weiss’ “Trigger Happy Tuesday” video series:

I didn’t see it.
My shotgun is just a short Mossberg.
I wonder if a 22 would pop the zombie heads on the Walking Dead, it sure seems like it would.
I saw something that would definitely help me with the cold.
Good at ten yards, any closer and I would want a melee weapon, a machete or bat
The Turks make some fine scatterguns but I think I’d go with the Kel Tek KSG. 12 gage, 3” Dual mag (6X2 +1), pump action. MSRP $990. Made right here in Cocoa, FL. I don’t need another zombie gun though.
Rifle, yes. Pistol, close quarters yes.
Oh, Kirsten Joy Weiss?
Yeah, I have been following her ever since she was on the We Like Shooting Podcast.
She’s the real deal.
Most of the Zombies are in Congress. They are called republicans.
I notice they now have access to silenced weapons since arriving in crazy town.
That is not a file cabinet.
That is the remains of the Social Security lock box that the zombies looted after Al Gore invented zombies
Always keep a machete handy during a zombie attack. No need to reload it. Just wack and hack. Wipe clean. And repeat.
Zombie bodies are bullet proof also.
The season 5 episodes are on Amazon Instant Video a few days after they air on AMC.
I have one of these files cabinets (only stronger) my dad got surplus from the phone company. Thing weighs a ton. Built in the ‘50s they were designed to survive a nuclear strike. No kidding
It looks to me exactly like the one 10 inches from me right now.
I don’t think that rifle bullets would bounce off of it.
