I have one minor complaint about the gun ergonomically, and it’s about the magazines. The gun is easier to hold up, lighter to swing with, and faster to get on target. It weighs only 6.5 pounds, and that’s one of the lighter options in the world of shotguns. The Sentry 12 is also a lightweight shotgun. The controls are all easy to reach and can be done without drastic motor movements. The magazine release, safety, and pump lock are ambidextrous, and obviously, the pump is too. Not just reversible, but completely ambidextrous. The controls are completely ambidextrous. This makes it easier for shooters with shorter arms to utilize the pump. the length from the receiver to the pump is also shorter than most shotguns. The Sentry 12 makes it easy to establish a modern shooting stance and to handle the gun more like an AR than a Remington 870. Those shotguns with those long LOPs are designed for a sporting-style bladed stance and not a modern squared-up stance. Shotgun lengths of pull are TOO DAMN LONG! The Sentry 12 has a very short 12-inch LOP, which is perfect for modern shooting styles. The most impressive thing about the Sentry 12 is the length of pull. I hope they do, and we can see some unique shotgun builds. The Sentry 12 could be quite modular if Blackwater chooses to pursue the design. The barrel also detaches with ease, so you can theoretically add new barrels, potentially shorter barrels for SBS configurations. You can also remove the stock, but there are currently no replacement stocks, so no real reason to do so. Then you can pop out the bolt and bolt carrier group. However, it only takes the removal of a single, noncaptive pin to take the gun apart. The Sentry 12 breaks down into both an upper and lower receiver like an AR. The Sentry 12 is made in the United States and uses a modern, built from the ground-up design. In the United States, mag-fed shotguns are basically regular pump actions with a magazine attached. Most modern box fed shotguns are made in Turkey, like the VR series. Obviously, anything with a pump-action will swap up an AR-like design, but it’s quite close. The Sentry 12 imitates these controls and ergonomics almost perfectly. There a couple of downsides, as slug switchovers are rough, and you can’t top off as you go.Īgain, the AR dominates, so people are much more used to AR ergonomics. Magazine fed shotguns allow you reload from empty to fully loaded rapidly. It’s an amalgamation of the shotgun making a come back as well as the world’s familiarity with magazine-fed rifles. Magazine fed shotgun designs are growing in popularity. A pump action shotgun can handle the lowest recoiling loads, nonlethal loads, standard buckshot, and whatever else you can fit in the chamber. A pump-action design allows you to take advantage of versatile shotgun loads. Pump ActionĪ tried and true design, pump actions are the most popular method of shotgun operation. The Sentry 12 is a very interesting design and instead of just explaining it, let’s break it down. The Blackwater Sentry 12 magazine fed shotgun has premiered and took an interesting route design-wise. They’ve made a cool lower with a thumb fired trigger and some decked out ARs, and now we have their first shotgun. Blackwater purchased or partnered with Iron Horse firearms to get into the pew business. They have gone through several name changes, but the Blackwater label has always been the one that stuck.
Blackwater is a company mainly known for using firearms in bad places around the globe, but now they seem to be making the firearms too.
