The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine has codified and approved the Safari HG-105M semi-automatic shotgun for use in the Defense Forces.

"The Safari HG-105M is a semi-automatic shotgun with a gas piston mechanism and a removable magazine. It is made using bullpup technology. This is a weapon layout where its overall length is reduced without reducing the barrel length. The use of bullpup technology allows the center of gravity to be shifted to the center of the weapon, which reduces the load on the shooter during long-term use," the Telegram channel reported on Monday.

It is noted that this gun is applicable as a small arm during combat in a confined space. And when using hunting shotgun shells - as a tool to combat enemy FPV drones. The weapon is designed to use 12-gauge shells with a magazine capacity of five or ten shells. Its weight is no more than 4 kg.
