The GFBP is a short and handy Shotgun in the classic bullpup configuration (action and magazine behind the trigger). Bullpup shotguns accommodate a longer barrel without adding unnecessary length, and allow you to hold the weapon closer to your body. At only 3 inches longer than the Mossberg 590 Shockwave, The 29.5-inch GFBP is ideal for the narrow corridors of home defense and tactical use.
The GFBP bullpup shotgun is compatible with MKA-1919 magazines and accepts 2 3/4 and 3-inch 12ga ammo. The GFBP features adjustable flip-up sights, as well as a bottom Picatinny rail for mounting accessories. Red dots and reflex sights can also be installed on the GFBP for faster target acquisition.

12 gauge is the most popular and useful shotgun gauges ever made. Suitable for everything from doves to geese. With sporting, military and law enforcement applications. Available in 2 ¾”, 3” and 3 ½”. The magnum lengths are generally preferred for waterfowl and turkey. Most major manufacturers produce guns and ammunition in a very wide septum for 12 gauge. Loads from ¾ oz. to 2 oz. are common with 1 1/8 oz Low base and 1 ¼ oz being the most common loadings. Target loads are normally around 1150 to 1200 FPS with High velocity lead loads tuning up 1350 FPS. Steel waterfowl loads tend to be loaded faster around 1500 FPS to compensate lower density shot. While the 2 ¾” loading is still the most popular ammunition made, nearly all current production guns have 3”or 3 ½” chambers. The shorter ammunition can be safely fired in longer chambers, but not all magnum semiautomatics will function with shorter shotshells. — Craig Boddington
