First Look at the Genesis Arms Gen-12

What if someone actually made a Shotgun on the AR-10 platform…? Enter the Gen-12 by Genesis Arms. While I don’t have enough time behind this little 12 gauge to do a review, my first experience was promising.

For a 12 gauge the recoil is “different.” It isn’t snappy like a regular shotgun, more of a straight push and pretty controllable, even with slugs.

In the future I will hopefully get to spend some more time with one and do a full review.

You can find the Genesis Arms Gen-12 here.

Look at that pattern…behind it.
The Gen-12 uses the Saiga type muzzle devices.
While not a fan of the Side Charger, future generations will have a traditional AR charging handle.
The Gen-12 is also offered as a “Firearm”.
The Gen-12 uses proprietary single stack magazines.
Unlike many shotgun magazines, the rounds don’t stick out.
The current magazines are offered in 5 and 8 round capacity. *10 Round Prototype*
