The IWI Tavor TS12 revolutionizes tactical shotgun design with its innovative bullpup configuration and rotating magazine system. This 12-gauge platform delivers the firepower of three separate magazines in a compact 26.125-inch overall length. The TS12's unique design allows operators to carry 45 rounds of ammunition across three tubes without reloading.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional shotguns with single tube magazines, the TS12 features three individual 5-round magazines that rotate with the flip of a lever. This system eliminates the need for external magazine changes during extended engagements. The bullpup design moves the action behind the trigger group, creating a full-length 18.5-inch barrel in an extremely compact package that's 7 inches shorter than comparable conventional shotguns.
Key Features
- Three rotating 5-round magazines for 15+1 total capacity
- Bullpup configuration with 26.125-inch overall length
- 18.5-inch chrome-lined barrel with removable choke tubes
- Continuous Picatinny rail system for optics and accessories
- OD Green polymer receiver with black metal components
- Ambidextrous controls including safety and magazine release
- AR-style pistol grip and trigger guard compatibility
The TS12 chambers 2¾-inch and 3-inch shells interchangeably, cycling everything from light target loads to heavy magnum rounds. Law enforcement agencies report reliable function with less-lethal munitions, while competitive shooters appreciate the rapid magazine transitions for 3-gun events. The chrome-lined barrel and robust polymer construction withstand harsh environmental conditions without performance degradation.
