I have heard people say the the shotgun is dead. But with the release of Kel Tec's KSG a couple years ago and  Crye Precisions new bullpup revolver shotgun being announced at the 2014 SHOT Show, I think the shotgun is not going anywhere for a while. Hopefully, as with anything new from SHOT, this does not take forever to come out.

Bullpup Revolver Shotgun Design

A Bull Pup shotgun design is not new. The High Stanard Model 10 and H&K's CAWS are two early examples. Whats new here is the revolver type cylinder and its in a bull pup form. I've already seen people concerned that if theres a KABOOM, it would be close to your face. Although thats a legitimate concern. I think if you use factory ammo you should be okay. Soldier System Daily is reporting that the SIX12 is designed for breachers so this sounds like a specialty shotgun. But lets admit it, it looks way cool.
