History

In January 2018, the TS12, which was the first bullpup shotgun developed by IWI, was revealed at SHOT Show, and released on the market the same year.[5]

Design

The TS12 loads its shells into three magazine tubes, each of which contain a total of five shells, allowing for a maximum of 15 + 1 shells. The tubes can be rotated via a button on the pistol grip.[6]

The TS12 has a Picatinny rail, with receptacles on both the left and right.[7]
