KelTec KSG: The Flagship Bullpup Shotgun

KelTec’s KSG remains the company’s flagship bullpup shotgun and one of the most recognizable designs in the category. Featuring a dual magazine tube system, the KSG offers impressive capacity—up to 14+1 rounds of 2¾-inch shells or 12+1 with 3-inch shells—while maintaining a compact footprint thanks to its bullpup configuration.

Beyond its performance, the KSG has become a standout in pop culture, appearing in films like John Wick, Transformers, and Jurassic World. Its distinctive design, high capacity, and compact size have made it a favorite among enthusiasts looking for something both functional and visually unique.

The KSG’s integrated carry handle, accessory mounting options, and proven reliability helped establish KelTec’s reputation for innovative shotgun design—and laid the groundwork for the development of the KS7 platform.

From KSG to KS7: Evolution of the Platform

Building on the success of the dual-tube KSG, KelTec developed the KS7 as a lighter, simplified alternative designed for shooters who prefer a streamlined, single-tube configuration without sacrificing the benefits of a bullpup layout.

The KSG, KelTec’s dual magazine tube shotgun, helped popularize the bullpup shotgun concept and has appeared widely in media and film. The KS7, introduced as a lighter and simpler alternative, uses a single magazine tube design while retaining the compact bullpup configuration.

What’s New in the KS7 Gen 2

The KS7 Gen 2 introduces several updates requested by shooters and KelTec customers.

Key improvements include:

• New removable clamshell accessory mount
• Improved internal components for smoother cycling
• Updated flat-top rail configuration
• Greater compatibility with vertical grip accessories
• Retained lightweight bullpup design

The addition of the clamshell accessory mount beneath the action allows shooters to add accessories such as forward grips similar to the mounting options available on the KSG platform.
