![]() If the UTS-15 and KSG had an attractive kid it might look like the M&P 12. Much like carry-friendly pistols, tactical shotguns have flown off the shelves the past two years in America’s record-breaking gun-buying flurry. One thing is for certain, the time is ripe for the introduction of a defensive shotgun-bullpup or otherwise. Dubbed the M&P 12 Shotgun, the 12-gauge is the company’s first attempt at a scattergun in quite as spell and is a marked break from its previous smoothbores. Rolling the dice the bullpup shotgun’s time is now, Smith & Wesson has unveiled its rendition of the oddball design as an expansion of its M&P line of defensive/tactical firearms. Outside of midsized manufacturers, such as KelTec, it’s usually been gunmakers from across the pond-IWI and Steyr in particular-who’ve scratched the Yanks’ bullpup itch. And while there are devotees to the oddball design stateside, the backed-up configuration has never really punched a toehold in the market. Loved in some corners, reviled in others, bullpups stir the passions. Smith & Wesson makes a marked break from tradition with its first bullpup shotgun, the M&P 12.
