I saw on Gunbroker today that the UTS-15 14+1 round bullpup shotguns are available (sort of, I think they're still ramping up production, KT style). Has anyone had a chance to play with one of these yet? I'm still not totally sure about the need or purpose of a super-short super-hi-cap 12ga, but this offering at least looks more well-fed than the KSG, which appears emaciated by comparison. On GB, at least, it appears a good deal cheaper than the KT, at 1200$rolleyes as opposed to the 1400$ fools are asking for the KSGs.
From what I can tell, the reciever/frame is all reinforced composite, and it does the same dual-tube selectable magazine thing as the KSG, but from atop the barrel, as opposed to underneath. Don't know if that makes it easier to quickly load or not, though (haven't found any loading info). Flashlight integrated into the foregrip, for folks who like that sort of thing. The cheek piece tilts up like a car hood to access the innards. It's supposedly derived from the Neostad I've heard about once or twice before.
It looks like a fairly well put together offering, for doing whatever it's supposed to do (make noise? ). Definitely one of the "meaner" looking shotguns I've seen recently . If they'd made it a semiauto somehow, I'd probably be more interested, though.
