The Kel-Tec KS7 is a 12 gauge bullpup pump-action shotgun with an 18.5-inch barrel and an overall length of 26.1 inches. It weighs 5.9 pounds and takes shells up to 3 inches, holding 6+1 of 3-inch shells or up to 7+1 of shorter shells. The finish is Blue/Black, the fiber optic sights are fitted from the factory, and the shotgun has a manual safety.

A Texas owner who wants a short, maneuverable 12 gauge for home defense or a field setup gets the bullpup layout in a compact package. The M-LOK slots and an optional Picatinny-style rail give room to add a light or other accessory. Federal law sets the dealer minimum at 18 for rifles and shotguns, and a valid Texas License to Carry can stand in for the NICS check at many dealers.
