IWI Tavor TS12 Bullpup 12 Gauge Semi-Automatic Shotgun
The IWI Tavor TS12 bullpup shotgun is a modern semi-automatic 12 gauge designed for shooters who demand high capacity, compact dimensions, and reliable performance. Built around a gas-regulated operating system, the TS12 uses a unique rotating magazine tube design that allows shooters to carry up to 15 rounds plus one in the chamber when using 2¾-inch shells.
Its bullpup configuration keeps the overall length at just 28.35 inches, while maintaining an 18.5-inch barrel, providing maneuverability in tight spaces without sacrificing ballistic performance.
The TS12 is designed for versatility, making it suitable for home defense, range training, and sporting applications.
Innovative Rotating Magazine System
One of the defining features of the IWI TS12 shotgun is its triple magazine tube system.
The shotgun feeds from three separate magazine tubes, each capable of holding:
-
5 rounds of 2¾-inch shells
-
4 rounds of 3-inch shells
When a loaded tube is rotated into position, the shotgun automatically loads the next round into the chamber. This system provides continuous fire capability with minimal interruption.
The result is a high-capacity semi-automatic shotgun platform that remains compact and easy to control.
Compact Bullpup Design
Unlike traditional shotguns, the bullpup layout places the action behind the trigger group. This allows the TS12 to maintain a full-length barrel while reducing the overall length.
Benefits of the bullpup design include:
-
Improved maneuverability in tight spaces
-
Better balance and weight distribution
-
Easier weapon control in defensive scenarios
For home defense setups, this compact configuration can make a significant difference.

The Tavor TS12 includes multiple features that allow shooters to customize their setup.
