gauge pump shotgun. The name comes from Ultimate Tactical Shotgun with a capacity of 15 rounds. As a pump, it can reli- ably cycle the heaviest slug load; low recoil, tactical buckshot and zero recoil impact munitions. No semi-auto shotgun can do that. The UTS-15 is chambered to accept 2 ½-inch, 2 ¾-inch and 3-inch magnum shotshells. The UTS-15 is made by UTAS- USA (Ultimate Tactical Assault Shotgun). The factory in a Chi- cago suburb uses state-of-the-art, Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) machining centers to make receivers out of forgings. All of the major components are sourced do- mestically and the final assembly is in Illinois.
T
Twin Magazine Tubes The most visually unique aspect of the UTS-15 is, of course, the two magazine tubes mounted side by side over the barrel. Each tube mag- azine holds seven shotshells for a 7+7+1 (chamber) total of 15 rounds. The UTS-15 has a three-position feed control toggle on the top of the receiver. With the large selector in the center position, the shotgun will alternate back and forth be- tween mag tubes until the shotgun is empty. The shotgun empties with even weight distribution.
Either the left or right magazine can be manually selected to fire just the shotshells in that magazine. Tog- gled to the left (or right), the feed control will block the left (or right) tube and feed only from the other tube until that mag tube is empty. The UTS-15 will not automatically switch to the other mag tube. That

The UTS-15 is both surprising light and surprisingly easy to keep on target. The bullpup design makes it very maneuverable in tight quarters.
The twin, seven-round tube magazines are mounted side-by-side over the barrel. The UTS-15 has a full-length Picatinny rail with full-length M-LOK attachment points.
