Ukrainian Форт {Fort} 500 police shotgun

[870P]

Which it seems been getting a good workout lately with the rioting in the Ukraine...

Technically there's nothing really unusually about them, other than maybe being the only recent pump design with a steel receiver, but they look kind of interesting in their more tacticool guises;

But no fuglier than any equivalent tactical shotgun.

I wouldn't want one, unless maybe it sold for Maverick 88 prices, but I just found it interesting, and sobering, that here we have a riot shotgun actually being fully utilized in a riot.

What do you suppose that bloop tube is for? I'm thinking bean-bag rounds or rubber(ish) slugs?

Teargas grenades maybe?

Nope. They've got dedicated 40mm platforms from what I've seen. Could also be for breaching? But that seems like more length than I usually see on breaching devices.

It's multipurpose, allows the use of muzzle launched grenades, of which the East Bloc is quite fond {more capacity than 40mm} while still having a breaching function.

Well I'll be damned.

I owe you an apology 870P!

Also, that's a nice Mepro21 they've got on there

No problem.

I believe the Ukrainians are manufacturing the Tavor locally so that might explain their having a Mepro sight on hand.

Anyway since this gun is supposedly based on the 870 I'd be interested to know if that top folder would fit?

There is an IWI Ukraine! They only do the X95 there from what we understand though...
