The Thing From the Black Lagoon: Kel Tec KSG-XL [SHOT 17]

[TV-PressPass]

When I asked the Kel Tec rep didn't even blink:

"We built it because we could."

Initially designed to meet European overall length requirements, this prototype KSG has an extended barrel and magazine tubes. It holds a full box of shells: 25 rounds total.

It's 11.5lbs fully loaded according to Kel Tec. They're producing an initial run of 5000 guns to see how they do.

Meanwhile.

How many Aguila mini shotshells?

How many Aguila mini shotshells?

39 IIRC. They've tested those too.

 

[Phat Eagle]

Man, your arm would get VERY tired pumping 39 times!!!

 

[freezer filler]

I wonder if we could get them to do a special "Molon Labe" run.

 

[Scarecrow]

Is the RDB coming to Canada?

39 pumps should be nothing for guys

Haha....switch hands...

 

[onetwentyish]

Lol. If this was offered as a mag tube and barrel extension I would be all over it just for 'reasons'...

Because I could...

They'll be able to sell a 5000 unit production run without any trouble. Enough people will want it just for the "Hells yah!" factor.

11.5 Lbs is a lot to lump through a 3 gun course. Might be worth it to avoid having to reload.

Jeff Cooper once said (and I'm paraphrasing here) "You'll make no friends walking around SHOT and asking "What's it for?"

 

[RMStyler]

Hmmm.... If it comes with choke tubes and mag plugs for duck hunting im sold!

Seriously tho. It would be interesting to see how this thing swings compared to the shorter one.

 

[enefgee]

Does it come with plugs for migratory birds?

 

[freezer filler]

Does it come with plugs for migratory birds?

Just cut a broom handle in half and use one half for each tube lol

Does it come with plugs for migratory birds?

This is a serious question!!! Love plugging a high capacity pump and showing up to the bird hunt. Did the same with my ITS15

Seems like a good idea.....no?

Actually, no - I was kidding.

 

[b_w.]

Very cool. What is the quality like in the current ksg?

 

[NickVR]

Basically all of those shells would fit in the shotgun..
