The shotgun has served hero and villain, soldier and civilian alike for generations. Today, most people will take a semi auto rifle (AR15 style) over a shotgun due to recoil, range, and perceived ease of use. If Americans had to fight as partisans, they would prefer the use of a rifle over any other weapon for kinetic combat. However, I think that many of these people are missing a few of the utilities a shotgun can have that a semi auto rifle is going to lack. Though the shotgun is not really going to be a handy tool for everyone, I think it warrants a closer look at where it can fit in the partisan’s toolbox.

The gas system of the RIA VRBP100 is not necessarily new, but it is slightly different from other more common designs people are familiar with. I personally am not familiar with too many semi auto shotgun gas system designs, but I know that this shotgun gas system is relatively unique to Turkish shotgun designs. However, it is basically akin to a short stroke gas system you seem piston operated rifles. I have had a little bit of an issue with this shotgun gas system during the break-in period. I am going to go over this issue and discuss how the system works and what might be happening internally to cause these issues.
The Rock Island Armory VRBP 100 is a magazine fed bullpup shotgun that is still relatively new to the market. It has alot of familiar features and ergonomics to other platforms on the market, yet it is in its own category altogether.
The pump-action shotgun is a longstanding design that has served all around the world, and will most likely continue to serve for decades to come, just like the 1911 pistol. However, the question is whether the pump-action shotgun still has the vigor it once had, or is it starting to lose it's relevance in the world?
