Fostech Outdoors's Origin-12 is a beast of a weapon and may be the fastest cycling shotgun in the world.


The gas powered build of the Origin-12 allows it to unleash hell at an insane rate of fire — if your trigger finger can keep up.

"This thing can smoke an AA-12 in terms of speed," said Eric in the IV8888 video below. "Bear in mind, an AA-12 is only about 360 rpm."

Released in 2013, the Origin-12 comes standard with a five-round 12-gauge magazine or an optional 30-round drum.

The design of the Origin-12 is made to greatly reduce recoil. The barrel is placed lower than the chamber and butt stock.

"In-line shotguns, when you shoot them, they climb. Pure physics will tell you about this firearm," Fostech Outdoors executive Judd Foster said at SHOT Show 2016. "When you shoot it, it takes recoil out of it, and it punches you on target."

According to Fostech Outdoors, there will soon be conversion kits to allow 7.62 and 5.56mm fire coming in 2018. If you're interested in having a forward grip, check out the Origin-12 SBV. It's an arm braced, smooth bore, 12-gauge non-NFA Firearm.

"The Fostech Origin-12 is an awesome piece of hardware. As far as I know, its is the fastest cycling shotgun in the world, " IV8888's Eric said.
