MOLOT VEPR 12 MANUAL ENGLISH SERIES
There are two major forms of the Vepr-12 headlining several variants within these marks: the VPO-205, with its side-folding skeletal stock, and the VPO-206, this model series with an M4-style collapsible slide stock. Measurements include an overall length of 1,227mm (867mm with stock folded). Sighting is provided through a tangent-based arrangement. Feeding is by way of 2-, 4-, 5-, 8-, 10- or 12-round detachable box magazines or a 20-/25-round detachable ammunition drum with engagement ranges listed out to 100 meters. The weapon is chambered for the 18.5x70mm (12 gauge) shell and also supports firing of 12 Gauge Magnum rounds. This gives reliable service even under the most extreme of battlefield abuses. Internally the Vepr-12 follows the Kalashnikov pattern gas-operated system with rotating bolt function. Operational controls are found within easy reach of the trigger area. The pistol grip and trigger unit are positioned in their traditional place along the underside of the receiver with the magazine well found just ahead. The shoulder stock is adjustable to suit operator need and collapsible for a more compact footprint.

The barrel assembly protrudes a distance ahead of the gas cylinder and is capped by a unique, multi-slotted brake. Sections of Picatinny rail are seen over the receiver and at the gas cylinder allowing for the fitting of various tactical accessories.

Greek special police have also taken up the type.Įxternally, the Vepr-12 clearly showcases its Kalashnikov-based roots through its rectangular receiver design, over-barrel gas cylinder mounting and support for curved detachable magazines. Introduced in 2003, the Vepr-12 serves with Russia and is available in several variants to suit military and civilian market demand. The Vepr-12 is a Russian-originated semi-automatic shotgun offered by Molot Oruzhie Limited and is based on the tried-and-true Kalashnokov pattern while being influenced heavily by the successful RPK series of machine guns (detailed elsewhere on this site). There is growing interest in the style of close assault weapon today and several global players have risen to meet the demand for a heavy-minded repeat-fire system that goes beyond the capabilities of traditional pump-slide action designs. The semi-automatic shotgun has been around for over one-hundred years but has never really help a firm foothold in military services of the world.
