I'm pretty sure those shotty rounds would penetrate your wallet and wound your bank account during procurement...
 
 
I've been desirous of a Kel-Tec KSG shotty since they came out in 2011.  However, every time I contemplate the purchase I get hung up on it being a pump action.  In that tiny form factor I'd really rather have a semi-auto.  I've eyeballed all the bullpup shotguns that have come out, so far and none has really made me go 'mmm, gotta have it!'
 
I like the UTS-15's ability to alternate feed tubes,as well as the ease of doing an 'empty check', but the gun is massive and feeds unreliably.  I like the Six-12's rapid reload capability but virtually nothing else about it.  I like the KSG's form factor but it's painful to reload and to 'empty check'.  There's nothing I like at all about the DP-12, as it is unnecessarily heavy (due to twin barrels) and the pump-once/fire-twice shooting cadence is strange when you have built the pump/fire muscle memory cadence required of most pump shotguns.
 
So what's that leave me?  Well, the Uzkon UNG-12 looks REALLY promising.

 
 
Semi-automatic.  Bullpup form factor.  Takes Adkal-style box magazines. (Up to 20 rounds!)  7QD sling ports. ~US$800 to 1000 initial price point (just as the KSG was).  Available soon... 
 
What's not to like???

Bullpup triggers always suffer some (in terms of trigger weight and length of pull) due to the sheer length of their mechanisms.  I could see the Steyr's trigger being mushy if it had too much takeup; my Bushmaster M17S felt what I would call 'mushy', as well, until I did some smithing to reduce the takeup ... and shave 2lbs from the trigger weight.  Now it's not half bad ... but a match trigger it absolutely isn't.  Anyone expecting more than a combat trigger from a bullpup -- really doesn't have reasonable expectations.

I bring you the gen2 Kel-Tec RFB in FDE.  Chambered in 7.62mm NATO (aka .308) with an 18" barrel, 1:11.25" twist, adjustable gas system, and OAL of 26"...
 

 
I brought one home today.  This thing is amazingly compact/light for a .308.  The trigger is also surprisingly crisp for a bullpup -- given how long some of the parts in the trigger assembly have to be in bullpups.  It is by no means pretty, but it's very, very functional.

I've had the DP-12 in my hands and man, that thing is monstrously large/heavy compared to, say, the KSG.  It's also strange only having to pump every other shot.  Personally, I don't care for the DP-12.

Crye's Six12 is also an oddity as a standalone shotgun -- primarily because the cylinder is awkward.  However, it's insanely cool as an under-barrel shotty mated to an AR-15 platform.  Here's a taste of that:

 
 
And then there's the American-made UTAS XTR-12 AR-style semi-automatic 12 gauge.  No Saiga clone, here.  I can only imagine this thing with a Slide Fire stock and a 24 round drum mated to it.  And you just -know- someone will make a drum for it...



 

Funny!  I say that because my idea of the perfect RPG system entails exactly one book ... of 400 pages or less... resting on a coffee table with no other materials around it.  That's actually -why- I was drawn to Champions: 1st through 3rd Editions were tiny and 4th Edition ended up being exactly what I was looking for, as one book absolutely could do it all.
 
I think it got kind of ridiculous with 5th Edition (too big) .... and the 2-volume 6th set is absurd in its verbosity ... so colour me pleased to see Champions Complete, since it was a return to what I felt Hero System should be.  You just shouldn't need a crate of books or a directory full of PDF's to play any RPG, IMHO.

This matches what I've experienced 100% of the time when playing with GMs who have caps -- i.e. the GM holds the powers in the framework to the cap, not the framework, itself.
 
As a matter of clarification, only once have I had advantages on a VPP (framework) -- specifically an @0 END advantage on a VPP for a character for whom it made sense.  I point this out because when laying advantages onto a framework that is at or above the cap, the advantages absolutely should be scrutinized and considered with the active points of the powers -- since max strength powers (i.e. powers at cap) will effectively violate the cap when the advantages are considered.  (In this lone, edge case, there were no caps on the game, so it was irrelevant.)
