GForce Arms of Reno, Nev., imports a diverse lineup of Turkish-made shotguns. This includes everything from over-under and side-by-side models, to lever-action and modern semi-automatic tactical/competition shotguns. The company's AR-15-style shotguns have been particularity popular, combining the familiarity and modularity of that platform with a semi-automatic scattergun. The latest model in this category is the new-for-2025 GForce 12Hammer. 

Designed to function with any shotshell load, the 12Hammer allows the owner to shoot anything from light 2 3/4” target loads to full-power 3” self-defense shells. It does this with a gas operating system. The 12Hammer uses a 7075-T6 aluminum upper receiver that attaches to the polymer lower receiver through the use of pins. The shotgun is compatible with MKA 1919-style detachable box magazines, and a five-round version is supplied with each shotgun.

Controls are standard AR-type with a bilateral safety selector, bolt release and magazine release, and the charging handle can be placed on either side.
