It is from the BBC News web site, and the caption is: "Turkish special forces fire pepper spray to disperse Kurdish rioters in the eastern city of Diyarbakir."

Does this mean those pepper spray shotgun rounds I see for sale next to the dragon's breath rounds really are effective? Does anyone know if any other outfits are using shotgun pepper or CS gas rounds?
 
It is hard to tell, but my bet is it is either a Remington 870 or Mossberg 500 with extended magazine tube or some really cheap foreign gun that nobody has every heard of.
 
Sure looks like a Remington 870 receiver, and I can't see a safety on the top.

I think Lee nailed it, Escort Aimguard made by Turkish manufacture Hatsan Arms Co.
The pistol grip in the news photo looks a little more vertical than the ones for sale here, and the S-curve on the folding stock looks more extreme, but the receiver, barrel/magazine clamp, and space between the barrel and magazine are right on.
 
They make a PGO (pistol grip only) stock for this one too- I think what looks like a folding stock in the wire photo is actually a sling. Just guessing, can't really tell too much from the angle shown.

Note that what is being fired is less lethal rounds and these very likely pack less recoil than even a standard birdshot round- the technique shown being used here is not one I would recommend for neophytes their first time out with a PGO stock. Note also the slung M-16, that's why I think what is seen in the picture is a sling on the PGO shotgun and not a folding stock, now that I look a bit harder.

anyone know of any place in the usa that sells the hatsan escort pistol grip and magazine extension?? or maybe a overseas place that will be willing to send over?
 
Good call on the Hatson/Akkar shotgun. Interestingly enough, it closely resembles the LP 12 manufactured by Zastava, who also happens to have business ties to Charles Daly/KBI.

While we're at it, why not just list a number of Turkish small arms manufacturers, and include one that slipped by NISAT's radar? :D

Edit: Take a look at some of the other firearms offered by Akkar (perhaps exclusively in Turkey?). You will find them listed under "Urunler." They have some very distinct designs.
