Much to my great joy and satisfaction, the shotgun still remains a popular weapon. In fact, some changes in design have been made to reach a growing market. Enter the team at GForce and their new 12HAMMER AR-style 12 gauge shotgun.

A Modern AR Style 12g Shotgun

The new GForce 12Hammer is not the first AR-style shotgun on the market, yet it is different—the new 12-HAMMER cycles without needing high-velocity ammunition. Most Turkish-made MKA-1919 style shotguns require 1300fps velocity ammunition; the 12-HAMMER does not. It will cycle light 7.5 shot loads and up to 3″ T-shot and steel. This is a highly efficient shotgun that eats almost anything you feed it. This allows for mor enjoyable range session both in the shoulder and the pocketbook.

The 12HAMMER is crafted by the experts at GForce Arms in Turkey. Engineered to deliver unmatched performance, this firearm is built for those who demand reliability in every scenario. Whether you’re securing your home, refining your skills at the range, or stepping into a tactical situation, the 12HAMMER can serve your needs.

Advanced and Reliable Operation

At its core, the 12HAMMER runs on a gas-operated buffer tube system, ensuring smooth, consistent cycling no matter the conditions. Its 18.5-inch barrel, made from 4140 full steel, offers the kind of durability you can count on. The Benelli Mobile Choke System, paired with five factory chokes—CYL, IMP CYL, MOD, IMP MOD, and FULL—lets you customize your shot pattern for precision shooting or widespread coverage, depending on your needs. With a capacity of 5+1 and compatibility with both 2 3/4″ and 3″ shotgun shells, it’s as versatile as they come.

GForce has built the 12HAMMER to be durable. Its upper receiver is forged from T6-7075 hardened aluminum. This material is prized for its strength-to-weight ratio, while the lower receiver is crafted from rugged polymer to maintain balance and reduce weight. The monoblock synthetic stock and forend are designed to take on harsh environments. The anodized finish adds a sleek, corrosion-resistant touch. Weighing 8.4 pounds, this shotgun offers just enough heft to reduce recoil while remaining manageable for quick handling. The adjustable overall length, ranging from 31.1 inches to 48.2 inches, ensures that the 12HAMMER fits comfortably into any situation.

For home defense, the compact size and fast-cycling operation make it a trusted ally in close-quarters scenarios. The ability to fine-tune the choke system means you can optimize your spread to suit your environment, giving you peace of mind when it matters most. The 12HAMMER’s balance and durability shine at the range, offering a comfortable, consistent experience for hours of practice. Sport shooters will appreciate its adaptability, making it a strong contender for trap, skeet, and sporting clays. And for tactical use, its rugged build and reliable performance ensure it can handle the demands of professionals and enthusiasts alike.

The 12HAMMER is a great bridge for those familiar with AR operations and controls. It has a familiar feel yet brings 12g power to the party. If you want to enter the shotgun world and prefer a more modern interface, the 12HAMMER might be your gun.
