Looks like Kel-Tec is coming out with a new shotgun

Weird.

I'm eager to see how it actually does. I can't figure out if it's a breakthrough in the self defense shotgun world, or if it's an unholy abomination. The ability to have both slugs and shot loaded and switching between them at the flick of a switch is impressive.
 
just because it's a bullpup with two mag tubes doesn't mean it's based off the neostead. the mag tubes on the neostead are over the barrel and the pump mechanism is reverse of the kel-tec and most shotguns.
 
im defiantly gonna get one when it comes available and if i got the $$$. that be badass with a .50ae desert eagle mounted to the lower accessory rail instead of a front mounted grip:D
 
One of the knocks on using a shotgun for home defense is that shotguns are too long to be maneuvered through doorways. This Kel Tec has me intrigued because the distance from my shoulder to the tip of the barrel wouldn't be much longer than the distance from my shoulder to the tip of the barrel of my pistol when I am in a shooting stance.

The short length of this Kel Tec seems to make it an ideal home defense shotgun to me. I could use it, and my 5'7 wife could use it alot easier than my Ithaca 37.
 
Just when I thought the muzzle blast on the PMR and RFB were bad... that may be an 18" barrel, but it's close to your head. Real close. :eek:
 
A friend and I have been talking about these.

We're thinking we're going to wait until there's at least some track record of how they work, but I am VERY interested in possibly picking one up.

It borrows enough from the Neostead to say accurately that it's based on it.

2 mag tubes, switchable between the two, bullpup. Yeah. It's based on it.

I can see where they improved it. Fixed the backward pumpstroke. Looks as if it's loadable without removing the magazine tubes (That always seemed bassackward on the Neostead).

by that reasoning the glock is based off the 1911 because it's recoil operated with a tilting barrel. there is a difference between copying a design and refining it and coming up with something then borrowing features from others that have gone before. now it may be that they copied the design but there is enough of a difference that until someone at KT comes out and says that they did so I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt.
