IWI Tavor TS12

I did a full review of the Tavor TS12 when it was first released, so I had the unfair advantage of having already put a lot of shells through this gun. The other shooters quickly learned its unique manual of arms. It was arguably the blockiest, least stylized gun of the day. But it is packed with features. Three rotating magazine tubes allow this bullpup to hold a whopping 15+1 shells. The cross-bolt safety seemed clunky, but was easy to manipulate and worked great. The slots down both sides are all M-LOK compatible, and the full-length Picatinny on top allows the mounting of any style sight. The law enforcement shooters appreciated the non-reciprocating charging handle because it is less likely to be knocked out of battery when hanging from a sling against your chest. It malfunctioned with low recoil shells, but IWI does recommend 1,200 feet per second (fps) minimum. The accuracy was second to none: At 15 yards there were five 1-ounce slug holes touching each other. The most amazing thing about this shotgun is how quickly we found we could blow through 15 shells. Fortunately, it was also one of the easiest guns to reload, with ports available on either side of the stock.
