GForce Arms is proud to announce the release of the 12HAMMER, a 12-gauge semi-automatic shotgun engineered for exceptional versatility and reliability across various shooting applications.
The 12HAMMER distinguishes itself with its ability to cycle a wide range of ammunition without the need for high-velocity loads. Unlike many Turkish-made MKA-1919 style shotguns that require 1300fps velocity ammunition, the 12HAMMER efficiently cycles light 7.5 shot loads up to 3″ T-shot and steel, making it a highly efficient shotgun that accommodates almost any ammunition.
Key features of the 12HAMMER include:
- Gas-Operated Buffertube System: Ensures smooth and consistent cycling under various conditions.
- 18.5-Inch 4140 Full Steel Barrel: Provides durability and precision.
- Benelli Mobile Choke System: Comes with five factory chokes—CYL, IMP CYL, MOD, IMP MOD, and FULL—for customizable shot patterns.
- Robust Construction: Features a T6-7075 hardened aluminum upper receiver and a rugged polymer lower receiver for strength and reduced weight.
- Adjustable Length: Overall length ranges from 31.1 inches to 48.2 inches, offering adaptability for various shooting scenarios.
Weighing 8.4 pounds, the 12HAMMER strikes a balance between manageability and recoil reduction. Its compact size and reliable operation make it suitable for home defense, while its adaptability caters to sport shooters and tactical users alike.
The 12HAMMER is now available through authorized GForce Arms dealers nationwide. For more information, visit GForce Arms’ official website.

We use the Benelli M4 Tactical Defensive Shotgun for our home defense shotguns. Yeah, they cost a lot more than the 12HAMMER but we are happy with them.
I’m sure the 12HAMMER ‘works’. I mean just about any shotgun can be used for home defense and a, maybe, ~$300.00 price tag for the 12HAMMER would probably be attractive for some.
Not legal in NY (detachable mag semi auto shotgun) so Benelli/Beretta/Mossberg/Remington semi auto is still the best we can do without permits(except in NYC still need a permit there)
Key will be whether they reliably cycle and feed from the mags. If they do, that would go a long way to address the biggest issue with a combat shotgun — rapid reloads.
While I am used to having to reload one between shots being able to go from unloaded to fully loaded by just loading a magazine potentially attached on the stock via pouch is a huge time saver …….if it works reliably.
Amazing to to see another weapon with an AR body style. Is this for the american market or just anywhere?
