AK Shotguns

Simply put, an AK shotgun looks like an AK-47, but shoots hard-hitting 12 gauge ammunition. It's the best of both worlds! These firearms have a fun, unique style that is all their own. Many AK shotguns, such as the Vepr 12, were developed for multi-purpose versatility. So, whether you're looking for a home-defense shotgun or one for hunting or competitive shooting, an AK shotgun is the ultimate solution — certain to blow away the competition.

Shotguns For Home Defense

If you're looking to defend your homestead, many experts feel a home defense shotgun is the best way to do it. While a handgun might be easier to store, a semi-auto shotgun offers better short-range accuracy, more impactful payloads, and easier control in high-tension situations. Remember, as with any firearm, regular gun maintenance is necessary to ensure your home defense shotgun is ready when you need it.

Semi-Auto Shotguns for Hunting or Competitive Shooting

A semi-auto shotgun is generally capable of shooting as fast as you can pull the trigger. This high rate of fire is perfect for 3-gun and combat-shotgun competition. Today’s modern semi-automatics enjoy the same reliability as their pump-action counterparts. As such, semi-automatic shotguns are ideal for hunting small to medium game, such as rabbits, wild boar, or deer. Learn more about the Dissident Arms shotguns!
