Aware of the tactical demand for silencing and extinguishing shotguns, Mike Rescono, chairman of TacOps Company, began to develop such shotguns. After four years of research, TacOps finally successfully developed the world's first silent shotgun "Secret 12".
The muffler of "Secret 12" shotgun adopts the principle of "wet process". The muffler with this technology has better performance than the traditional muffler. The name of this muffler is "Secret 12TM".
The muffler is made of stainless steel body and aviation aluminum parts. Because it was designed for shotgunNo. 12, the size is relatively large. The muffler is 254 mm long and 70 mm in outer diameter. Muffler is a sealing device, and all maintenance does not need to be disassembled. Users can use immersion liquid for cleaning, and it is recommended to use light gasoline.
"Secret 12TM" weighs about 1.75kg, and the muffler with this weight will be too heavy to be installed at the muzzle, so TacOps Company has produced another light sample, but there is no information about this sample for the time being.
"Secret 12" shotgun, except the gun bore, all metal parts are treated by patented matt technology. This technology is specially developed for weapons. It has high wear resistance, excellent corrosion resistance and smoothness. It is considered as the best surface treatment technology and has been designated as a special technology by the FBI and many government agencies.
"Secret 12" adopts two kinds of barrels: one is a standard Remington-style throat-free barrel, which is 18 inch long; The other is a 14 inch barrel with a fixed "Secret 12TM" muffler, with a length of 533mm.
The "Secret 12" shotgun has a polymer stock, and the small grip has a unique anti-slip structure of TacOps. The butt of the gun and the guard wood are treated with green epoxy resin, and the guard wood is equipped with tactical lights that can fire. There is a ghost ring gauge with tritium light bar and an offset bomb carrying device on the casing, and there is a sight with tritium light spot on the standard barrel. There is a sight with tritium spots above the tail of the muffler.
"Secret 12" can be used as a multi-purpose obstacle-breaking tool, especially in efficient breakthrough, which is more effective than other obstacle-breaking equipment. It can play a dual role: it can not only provide a safe and rapid tactical armed breakthrough, but also maintain the effectiveness of defensive weapons. Shotgun is not limited to doors, it can push open the sliding glass door, remove the lock of padlock and destroy the door mechanism with minimal collateral damage.
For the sake of safety, TacOps Company has developed a stainless steel muzzle attachment device with an outer diameter of 50.8mm and a length of 76.2mm, which can discharge gunpowder gas. In this way, the shotgun can shoot directly at the door or door frame with the gun door. And the barrel or muffler does not explode due to excessive pressure in the muffler. The mouth of the muffler has a threaded extension for installing the "circuit breaker". When it is not needed, it can be disassembled to reduce the total length of the "Secret 12" shotgun. The mouth of the "circuit breaker" is serrated, which can play an anti-slip role when touching the door. It has a fairly large air leakage hole at the bottom. There is no hole in the upper part, which ensures the safety of users when breaking obstacles.
Worm Fire Valley Company is developing special subsonic fragile barrier-breaking ammunition and subsonic shotgun for Secret 12. At present, Wormfire Valley produces a special No.0 deer bomb. The company also produced a unique shotgun to replace a single bullet. This bomb has the same accuracy as a single bomb, while maintaining the terminal effect of the No.0 deer bomb.
Test evaluation In the shooting range, the performance of Mi 12 is unparalleled, and it is hard to believe that it uses a 12 shotgun. 18.2m, and the maximum dispersion of tactical shotguns is 228.6mm..
It is really amazing that the muzzle noise of subsonic bombs is reduced to the sound level of 5.6mm short bullets fired by rifles or 5.6mmRWS air rifles. Some experts commented that the sound of Secret 12 firing subsonic bombs 12 is smaller than that of Remington M870 pump shotgun mechanism, and compared the sound of Secret 12 with the sound of rubber stick hitting the door. Even though the supersonic bomb was fired, the personnel at 23~27m didn't notice that the tester was firing a shotgun. The subsonic bomb produced by Buguo Valley Company can be easily unlocked in the obstacle breaking test.
Like Tango5 1, the evaluation test of "Mysterious Land 12" was also conducted by LASDSEB. In the test, 30 rounds were fired with Secret Order 12, and the muffler was not cleaned and no additional liquid was added. The noise did not increase obviously, and the muzzle flame was completely eliminated. Secret 12 will be widely used in law enforcement agencies and special operations forces in the near future because of its good noise elimination performance.
