The dual magazine tubes made it capable of easily carrying two different types of ammo that the shooter could select between, or just load up with 14+1 rounds for a capacity that even a 28- inch barreled shotgun with an equally long magazine tube couldn’t match.
While the capacity and select loading capabilities were interesting, they weren’t the most useful feature of the shotgun, in my opinion. The major advantage the KSG offered was its short overall length, while remaining a non-NFA weapon. The dual magazine tubes and bullpup design made it more difficult to load than conventional shotguns. Not only did the shooter need to reach deeper into the loading area than a conventional shotgun, they also had to make sure the shells fed into the correct tube without getting hung up on anything else inside the receiver. When I first used the KSG myself in 2012, I immediately thought that it’d be an equally useful design in many roles with a single tube, giving up capacity while also losing some weight and making it easier to load. KelTec released the KS7 at SHOT Show 2019 and after checking it out in their booth, I was eager to try it out. It was essentially a single-tube KSG with some design improvements.
