Black Aces Tactical FD12 Bullpup

The FD12 Bullpup was our first bullpup of the day and another very sharp-looking shotgun, especially in FDE. Most of us were not overly experienced bullpup shooters so the bolt catch and magazine release seemed awkward. The gun is advertised as weighing 7.4 pounds, but it felt even lighter. Also, recoil felt a little stiffer, but we had just finished testing a 20 gauge so it is relative. I recommend putting the foregrip on it for added recoil control. Other than that, it was loaded with great features: full-length Picatinny rail on top plus Picatinny mounts on bottom and sides, ambidextrous charging handle, safety and mag release, oversized triggerguard, lots of quick-detach sling mounts and extremely compact with a full 18.5-inch barrel.
