\"New<\/a>

Rock Island Armory Imports introduced the new VRBP100 semi-auto shotgun. It’s a bullpup.<\/p><\/div>\n

A bullpup shotgun offers more maneuverability in close quarters and competition situations. I think it’d be interesting to hunt with a super short weapon, as well, for fast target acquisition and less fatigue from carrying a long gun. Rock Island Armory’s new VRBP100 is just 32″ overall but maintains a full 20″ of barrel length for accuracy.<\/p>\n

The action is behind the trigger group, making the whole thing just 32″ long.<\/p><\/div>\n

This semi-auto shotgun is chambered for 2 3\/4″ and 3″ 12 gauge shells and comes with two 5-round magazines, but it’s compatible with 9-round and 19-round magazines. It’s got an adjustable comb and includes three rubber shims to adjust the length of pull. The ejection port has a deflection cover to keep the shells out of your face if you’re a left-handed shooter. the charging handle is non-reciprocating, but it’s on the left side only. The safety is ambidextrous.<\/p>\n

While it comes two 5-round mags, it’s compatible with 9-round and 19-round mags — the 19-round is pictured.<\/p><\/div>\n

The comb is height adjustable so you can get your eye behind the sights no matter how long your neck is.<\/p><\/div>\n

Those sections at the back of the stock are removable rubber shims to adjust the length of pull.<\/p><\/div>\n

The deflection cover on the ejection port keeps shells from hitting your face, even if you’re left-handed.<\/p><\/div>\n

Ambidextrous safety buttons.<\/p><\/div>\n

The semi-auto action is run by a gas piston, and it comes with both heavy and light springs to help manage recoil from different loads. Recoil on this gun should be lighter than on traditional guns.<\/p>\n

\"New<\/a>

The action uses gasses from the cartridge’s discharge to eject the shell and load the next.<\/p><\/div>\n

The gas piston comes with a user-changeable spring to mitigate recoil from light or heavy loads.<\/p><\/div>\n

It includes three flush-fitting chokes — cylinder, modified, and full — which are compatible with Benelli and Berretta Mobil chokes. The 20″ barrel is compatible with compensators. It’s got flip-up front and rear sights, and the rear sight has two apertures. A full-length Picatinny rail covers the top, and there’s an accessory rail on the right side at the front.<\/p>\n

Flip-up front sight, full-length top rail, and right side rail at the front.<\/p><\/div>\n

The receiver is 7075 T6 aluminum and the whole firearm is finished in matte black. It’s imported from Turkey and Rock Island thinks this is a terrific option for home defense, competition, hunting, and sporting. I’ll be interested (and excited) to see how it handles in real life. Did I mention it works with 19-round mags? Sweet.<\/p>\n

Look for the\u00a0VRBP100 to hit stores this July with an MSRP of $799.\u00a0 For more info, visit Armscor.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
