MTs255-12 - The police version

The MTs255 is unique in that the forearm extends nearly all the way back to the cylinder. The shotgun is reloaded in a manner consistent with that of most modern revolvers, by unlocking the cylinder, and swinging it away from the frame to the left and down.

Variants

  • MTs255 (МЦ255) - civilian version, has a permanent wooden butt and fore-end. The guns are available in 12, 20, 28 and 32 gauges, and .410 bore[1]. At present, it is not commercially available, only parts are available on request.
  • MTs255-12 (МЦ255-12) - police version (for ammunition 12/70 and 12/76), designed for law enforcement and security agencies, is distinguished by accessories made of black plastic, folding stock and a "Picatinny rail" bar for attaching sighting devices.
gollark: Not manual memory management or GCing.
gollark: Rust has a great hybrid approach!
gollark: I won't read what you say for a while, still scrolling down.
gollark: It's not simple because of no generics. It's more complex since they added bodges to work around not having them like the three standard library generic types.
gollark: The code you call simple is long and verbose. The waitgroup thing is a hack because go's got no generics for some sort of parallel map function.
