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

gollark: So traitorous functions which cannot be trusted.
