i really like these bullpup shotguns but what interests me more if it would be possible to build sth like that in 7.62x51/39? even 5.56!( i have to ask the producers themself as this shotgun is made in Türkiye!)

 

Are you asking if you can make bullpups in rifle calibers too? That doesn't sound like a serious question...

No, i mean this shotgun model with rifle ammo.should have been more precise on my part,sry . İn semi/ full auto. Because @tfb they had a little pimped version(and i really liked this model,not the pump version)of this shotgun and there i asked the same question.

   Three versions are supposed to appear - with 267 mm (PDW) barrel, 368 (the main assault rifle) and an elongated heavy barrel for snipers in the squads.
   Short piston stroke, bolt carrier doesn't hit parts of the gun during recoil. Trigger provides single and automatic fire, mags are used from QBZ-95. The weapon is equipped with a long rail on top of an aluminum receiver and handguard, a folding front sight and a plastic buttstock adjustable in length (folding is not provided).

   The Kovrov plant named after Degtyarev began production of A-545.

   “The plant received an order for the first batch of a 5.45 mm avtomat, a product that is quite complicated to manufacture. Now, a number of body parts are being prepared for serial production,” the Degtyarevets factory newspaper reported.

   US Army COL Joel Babbitt, Program Executive Officer SOF Warrior for the United States Special Operations Command, provided an update on small arms programs during this week’s vSOFIC event presented by National Defense Industrial Association.

   The most significant lethality efforts revolve around the adoption of the 6.5 Creedmoor and .338 Norma Mag cartridges which offer overmatch against threat small arms, allowing SOF operators to provide accurate fire at longer ranges than before.
