Editor’s Note: The Tavor TS12 bent the rules and brought us a gas-operated semi-automatic bullpup shotgun with a set of 3 rotating magazine tubes. Each magazine tube can hold up to five 2 3/4-inch shells, giving the gun a maximum capacity of 15+1. Once the magazine tube is depleted, the tubes can be rotated and will automatically load a new round. An 18.5-inch barrel combined with the bullpup configuration keeps the length compact at just 28.34 inches overall. Quick-detach sling points, M-Lok rails, full-length top Picatinny rails, and interchangeable chokes allow for plenty of accessory mounting capabilities and flexibility.

By The Numbers

Accuracy
It’s a shotgun, and it’s pretty hard to be inaccurate out to 25 yards with any long gun. The TS12 is plenty accurate when topped with a red dot.
Reliability
Reliability was hit or miss. While the right buckshot load minimized failures, it never ran 100%. With a 5% failure rate with buckshot, I’m torn between a 2.5 and a 3, but if a ZIP gun from USFA is a 1, then this is at least a 3.
Customization
Uhm, you can toss in different choke tubes and attach M-LOK rails and optics. That’s all, folks.
Ergonomics
IWI took a long time to painstakingly plan out the TS12, and its controls. From the placement of the magazine tube release to the grippy textured tubes turned forend. The TS12 is an excellent weapon control-wise.

FINAL VERDICT

"The IWI TS12 is a massively fun gun to shoot. It’s Sci-Fi design makes it a real attention-getter and the 15-round capacity is great. The reliability problems stop it from being an absolute knockout but if fixed, the gun will be unmatched in the combat shotgun field." - Travis Pike
