SHOT SHOW 18 - The Tavor as a shotgun pump

The Tavor is one of the more well-known bullpup firearms next to the Steyr AUG. The assault rifle now has a big caliber brother that follows the trend of semi-automatic shotguns: the Tavor TS12. "This weapon is our first attempt to position ourselves in the home defense shotgun market," says Casey Flack, CEO of IWI US. And they're going all in: up to 15 rounds can be loaded into three magazine tubes. The semi-automatic is a strong argument if you want to deter someone.
