TOZ-194


The TOZ-194 is a 12 gauge, pump-action shotgun manufactured by the Tula [Arms Plant].

History

In the early 90's, the Tula Arms Plant designed a pump-action shotgun based on TOZ-87. In late 1994, the first model was developed.
Later, the production of second model began, and since then it has gained popularity with civilian shooters in Russia and in Europe, and is reported to be in use with some Russian Security forces.
The TOZ-194 is a conventional pump-action shotgun that feeds from a 7-rounds tube and chambers 70 mm shotgun shells. Its main feature is its 540 mm barrel, which is oddly long for a combat shotgun; this was done to reach an overall length of 805 mm which makes it legal for civilian ownership in Russia.
