The GForce Arms GFY-1 Tactical is a semi-automatic 12 gauge bullpup: the action and magazine sit behind the trigger, which fits an 18.5-inch barrel into 28.5 inches overall. It weighs 7.7 pounds, has a 3-inch chamber for 2 3/4 and 3-inch shells, and feeds from MKA-1919-compatible magazines with one included for 5+1. Grey Cerakote covers the metal, a spiral-fluted shroud wraps the barrel, and an angled foregrip and ambidextrous charging handle round out the controls. The flip-up sights adjust, and a Picatinny rail takes a red dot or reflex sight.

A 12 gauge at 28.5 inches is about as short as a shotgun gets while keeping a full barrel, and that is the use case: hallways, vehicles and practical-shotgun stages where a long gun has to pivot. The folding sights and rail let a Connecticut owner run irons or a dot, and the 5+1 magazine swaps out rather than reloading through a tube. It is not built as a hunting gun, though the 3-inch chamber will take the loads.
