Shotguns for law enforcement applications are being called upon to perform in ways unheard of a few years back. The variety of buckshot loads in use today requires something other than the old fashioned fixed chokes. And with the widespread use of body armor and tactical vests, stock lengths identical to sporting shotguns no longer makes sense.
FN Herstal recognized these trends and developed a pump action shotgun to address the specific needs of modern law enforcement.
Benefits: Rotary bolt pump action: strong lock up and extremely fast follow up shots Barrel with 2 choke tubes: "fine tune" shotgun to ammunition being used- tighter patterns Front and rear sights on barrel: more accurate placement of shots Receiver top drilled and tapped: permits installation of optional sighting systems Corrosion resistant finish: manganese phosphate on steel components for added durability Synthetic stock and forearm: tough and non-reflective
