Connecticut-based gun maker Standard Manufacturing has unveiled the DP-12 LTL LE, a less-lethal shotgun designed specifically for law enforcement applications. Based on the celebrated DP-12 double barrel pump-action, the DP-12 LTL LE discharges 16 rounds of less-lethal 12-gauge shells.

The DP-12 LTL LE comes with an international orange finish to denote the fact that it is a less-lethal device. As the press release notes, the fixed magazines reduce the possibility of loading lethal amor by accident, which can happen when certain firearms have interchangeable mags. Also, the 16-round capacity means you don’t have to load as often if you find yourself in a life-threatening situation.
