The Kel-Tec KS7 Gen 2 delivers compact firepower in a bullpup configuration that measures just 26.1 inches overall while maintaining an 18.5-inch barrel. This innovative design places the action behind the trigger group, creating a shorter profile without sacrificing ballistic performance or legal compliance.
What Makes This Different
The bullpup layout provides superior maneuverability in tight spaces compared to traditional shotgun designs. The KS7 Gen 2 incorporates dual magazine tubes that feed alternately, allowing rapid transitions between different ammunition types. The downward ejection system keeps spent shells clear of the shooter's face and works equally well for left or right-handed operators.
Key Features
- Bullpup design reduces overall length to 26.1 inches with full 18.5-inch barrel
- Dual magazine tubes hold 3 rounds each for 6+1 total capacity
- Downward shell ejection accommodates both left and right-handed shooters
- Picatinny rail system accepts standard optics and accessories
- Fiber optic front sight for rapid target acquisition
- Synthetic stock construction resists weather and impact damage
- Chambers 2.75-inch and 3-inch 12-gauge shells
The KS7 Gen 2 excels in home defense scenarios where space constraints favor compact platforms. The dual tube system allows loading different ammunition types - buckshot in one tube, slugs in the other - with simple selector switching. Law enforcement agencies appreciate the reduced profile for vehicle deployment, while hunters value the full-length barrel performance in a packable format.
