The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine has officially approved the Safari HG-105M semi-automatic shotgun for use across the Armed Forces. This innovative firearm, chambered for 12-gauge rounds, is specially suited for close-quarters combat and offers an additional advantage in countering enemy FPV drones.
The Safari HG-105M shotgun employs a gas-operated system and features a bullpup design, which shifts the center of gravity closer to the weapon’s center. This bullpup configuration maintains a full-length barrel while minimizing overall length, enhancing maneuverability in confined spaces and reducing fatigue during extended operations. Weighing just over 4 kg, the shotgun’s balance is further improved by its compact form.
