Dear Santa, I know what I want for Christmas!

I recently came across an update from Kel Tec on their new bullpup KSG pump shotgun that garnered so much attention at this year’s SHOT show in January and that Phil Bourjaily called the most innovative new shotgun. This video shows how Kel Tec addressed concerns brought up by folks who got to handle the weapon at the trade show.
Most notably, the original 15-round-capacity (14 shells in two 7-round tubes, plus one in the chamber), 26.1” long shotgun had some problems with the trigger reset. If a shooter fired the weapon and kept the trigger depressed while cycling the pump, the trigger would not reset when released leaving the shooter with a chambered round and a dead trigger...

Dear Santa, I know what I want for Christmas!
Really a neat design for a pump gun. I foresee a lot of PD contracts.
It could use a muzzle brake too IMO.
I guess that I could hold on to my end of the hallway with that.
That looks awesome!
Kinda reminds me of the ‘laser carbines’ from the Star Wars movies.
The local Tea Party is going to nix this purchase for sure. The local ULEOs have enough toys. They want it, they can pay for it out of their pension funds (which, of course we taxpayers have paid for).
It’s definitely on my wish list. But my experience with Kel-Tec products (I have several) is that it will probably be a couple of years before their production schedule catches up with demand. I have no doubt that it will be worth the wait.
I personally like the Beretta Extrema2. It can fire twelve 12ga. rounds in less than two seconds.

I would have liked to see a stripped down, no frills, semi auto detachable magazine fed 12 gauge like the Saiga 12. You can only use magazines with more then 5 rounds if you trick it out with extra American made parts.
Other then that, it is a neat gun. Here is a vid of a run and gun with it with youtuber Nutnfancy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_z6vqX0-K0&playnext=1&list=PL7F6F50C36234F622 I hope to see him do a tabletop of it. Say what you want about him, but he gives a lot of objective facts with his reviews and he lets you decide for yourself on the subjective parts.
Sweet gun.
A gun like that needs to be an automatic, not a pump shotgun.
I meant semi-automatic, but fully automatic would be cool though.
If Kel-Tec could make their new shotgun in a semiauto version with the same cycle rate as the Beretta Extrema2 I’d certainly purchase it!
Perfect for behind the seat of the pick up.
Thanks for the ping 50. I want one, A dadgum football bat on some kind of steroids that haven’t been identified yet.
Sweet
for later
Yep, that and add two inches to the barrel and make it a semi auto.
Nice boomstick. Sounds like there’s a bit more engineering to do. Better call Will at Red Jacket.
