The IWI Tavor TS12 redefines tactical shotgun capability with its innovative bullpup design and rotating magazine system. This 12-gauge platform delivers 15+1 capacity in a compact 28.3-inch overall length, providing the firepower of a full-size shotgun with superior maneuverability.
What Makes This Different
The TS12's triple-tube magazine system rotates to feed shells from three separate 5-round magazines, eliminating traditional reloading delays. While conventional shotguns require individual shell loading or magazine swaps, the TS12 allows instant switching between magazine tubes with a simple rotation. The bullpup configuration places the action behind the trigger, achieving rifle-like balance while maintaining an 18.5-inch barrel length.
Key Features
- Triple rotating magazine system holds 15 rounds of 2¾" or 3" shells
- 18.5-inch barrel with removable choke tubes for versatility
- Ambidextrous controls including safety, magazine release, and ejection port
- Four Picatinny rails for optics, lights, and accessories
- Adjustable gas system optimizes cycling with various loads
- Bullpup design achieves 28.3" overall length with full-size performance

The TS12 excels in close-quarters scenarios where traditional shotguns prove cumbersome. Law enforcement agencies appreciate the rapid magazine rotation capability during dynamic entries. Competition shooters benefit from the continuous fire capability without manual reloading. The adjustable gas system ensures reliable cycling with everything from light target loads to heavy 3-inch magnums.
