Kel-Tec KS7 Bullpup Pump Shotgun 12 Gauge 18.50" Barrel 3" Chamber 6+1 Rounds Polymer Black Stock Fiber Optic Sight
The Kel-Tec KS7 is bred for light-weight personal defense at home, backcountry, and anywhere in between. Its compact size and carry handle allow for easy handling, storage and transport, making this one ambidextrous, 12-gauge, pump-action micro beast.
The KS7 is designed for many applications, but it lends itself perfectly to home defense, back country hiking or anywhere you need a compact 12ga shotgun. Its intuitive, simple features, optional Picatinny-style rail and M-LOK accessory mounting solutions make it very versatile.
The KS7 might be short and slim on the outside, but it’s long under the hood. Its 18.5? magazine tube holds 6+1 or 7+1 depending on your choice of shell size. The 18.5? barrel gives you plenty of 12ga velocity to maximize the performance of your preferred loads.
At 1st glance, you’ll notice the KS7s throwback feature, the carry handle. Sometimes old ideas are reinvented to serve modern demands and that’s definitely the case here. The KS7 carry handle also doubles as a sighting solution and it comes standard. It shoulders nicely and the fiber optic bead sight immediately catches the eye. It’s not your grandpa’s shotgun, unless you buy it for him.
You get extra capacity and standard velocity in a shotgun that’s just over two feet long. How do we do it? We bullpup it. We kept the business end right where it’s supposed to be, but we took the party out back. With rear loading and downward ejection, we’re able to keep the KS7 a 12ga micro-beast that’s easy to handle.

The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for
general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this
particular item.
12 gauge is the most popular and useful shotgun gauges ever made. Suitable for everything from doves to geese. With sporting, military and law enforcement applications. Available in 2 ¾”, 3” and 3 ½”. The magnum lengths are generally preferred for waterfowl and turkey. Most major manufacturers produce guns and ammunition in a very wide septum for 12 gauge. Loads from ¾ oz. to 2 oz. are common with 1 1/8 oz Low base and 1 ¼ oz being the most common loadings. Target loads are normally around 1150 to 1200 FPS with High velocity lead loads tuning up 1350 FPS. Steel waterfowl loads tend to be loaded faster around 1500 FPS to compensate lower density shot. While the 2 ¾” loading is still the most popular ammunition made, nearly all current production guns have 3”or 3 ½” chambers. The shorter ammunition can be safely fired in longer chambers, but not all magnum semiautomatics will function with shorter shotshells.
