The Kel-Tec KS7 Gen 2 delivers tactical shotgun performance in an ultra-compact bullpup configuration that measures just 26.1 inches overall. This innovative 12-gauge platform maximizes barrel length while minimizing overall weapon length, providing full-power performance in tight quarters applications.
What Makes This Different
The bullpup design positions the action behind the trigger group, allowing an 18.5-inch barrel in a package shorter than most carbines. Unlike traditional shotguns that sacrifice barrel length for maneuverability, the KS7 maintains full ballistic performance while reducing overall length by nearly 8 inches compared to conventional designs. The downward ejection system keeps spent shells clear of the shooter's face and works effectively for both right and left-handed operators.
Key Features
- Bullpup configuration reduces overall length to 26.1 inches with 18.5-inch barrel
- Dual tube magazine system holds 6+1 rounds of 2.75-inch or 3-inch shells
- Downward shell ejection accommodates ambidextrous operation
- Carry handle with integrated flip-up rear sight and front sight post
- Picatinny rail sections on top and bottom for optics and accessories
- Polymer construction reduces weight to 5.9 pounds unloaded
- Cylinder bore choke optimized for defensive ammunition
Field performance demonstrates reliable cycling with standard 2.75-inch loads through 3-inch magnum shells. The compact dimensions excel in vehicle operations, building clearing, and confined space scenarios where traditional long guns prove cumbersome. Weather-resistant polymer construction and simplified manual of arms support reliable operation across temperature extremes and adverse conditions.
