SIG556 R

SIG Sauer had their new SIG556 R on hand to show off, and with good reason. Based on the SIG556 platform, the SIG556 R is chambered in 7.62x39 mm, and features a gas-piston, rotating bolt operating system. The 1 in 9.5" twist in the 16-inch barrel helps to give it greater accuracy than standard AK-style rifles. Originally designed with the special forces operator in mind, the SIG556 R is designed to accept most AK magazines. The MSRP is $1266.

The Kel-Tec KSG Shotgun

SHOT Show 2011 provided the perfect opportunity to get an up-close look at Kel-Tec's anticipated KSG, one of the first bullpup shotguns to hit the market. Looking very similar to the RFB, the KSG is Kel-Tec's first attempt at a pump-action shotgun, and, in addition to being a bullpup, features dual magazine tubes, each offering a capacity of 7 2 3/4-inch 12-gauge shells. This gives the gun a 14+1 capacity total, though the magazine tubes have to be manually selected in order to chamber rounds. On top of its unusual bullpup shotgun design, the KSG ejects empty shells downward instead of towards a certain side.
