If I had a nickel for every time someone offered a bullpup revolving 12g shotgun that had a removable cylinder which never actually entered mass production but somehow managed to gain a shockingly large following in media, well I’d have two nickel. It not a lot, I just didn’t think it’d happen twice.

It’s as if the Pancor Jackhammer died and was reincarnated as the Six12 only to die again in the exact some way.

If you know about this gun already it probably due to either ShotShow or play a video game with it like Rainbow Six or Payday.

It was supposed to come out in 5 models a standard version, one w/ an integral suppressor, a sporter version w/ wood furniture, an underbarrel attachment, & a standalone of the underbarrel version. The operative word there is supposed to.

Today the Six12 website is now empty, presumably so people stop asking. Perhaps one day someone will make this gun, but there’s no sign of that day being soon. But perhaps we should just be happy we got a cool gun to put into video games out of this whole thing.

    Check out Ian’s video on the Nagant revolver. I’m pretty sure it has a similar mechanism to what the Six12 has.
