USAS-12
shotgun was developed in South Korea by
Daewoo Precision Industries somewhere in
the 1980's. USAS-12 was intended as a
special purpose, military or
special operations close combat weapon
with extreme firepower. USAS-12 is feed
from large capacity box (10 rounds) and
drum magazines (20 rounds). USAS-12 has a
post type, hooded front sight at the top
of the gas chamber and an adjustable rear
sight built into the carrying handle,
similar to one found on M16 assault
rifles. USAS-12 is very bulky and heavy,
but the large mass greatly improves the
recoil control, especially in full
automatic mode. |

USAS-12 is a
gas operated, selective fire weapon. It
uses a gas system located above the
barrel, with more or less conventional
rotating bolt locking. The interesting
feature, probably borrowed from Atchisson
designs, is the long bolt overtravel,
which results in relatively low peak
recoil and low rate of fire, which is
essential for weapon firing powerful 12
gauge shells. USAS-12 is an ambidextrous
weapon, having two ejection ports on each
side of the receiver, and two slots on
the forearm for cocking handle. The
ejector on the bolt and the cocking
handle could be easily set to operate
either side of the gun, depending on the
present shooter needs and preferences. -(Shortened
