History

The gun was designed by G. P. Chetverikova (Г. П. Четверикова) in early 1960s[2]. The first prototype was shown at VDNKh exhibition in Moscow.

Since 1963 began the production of this shotgun by Tula Arms Plant[3][2].

On December 13, 1996, president of the Russian Federation B. N. Yeltsin signed the federal law № 150, which entered into force on July 1, 1997. In accordance with this law, possession of civilian firearms chambered for handgun ammunition was prohibited[4]. As a result, since July 1, 1997, all TOZ-28 guns were banned on the territory of the Russian Federation and they had to be handed over to governmental law enforcement agencies for destruction.

Design

TOZ-28 is a combination gun, with one rifled barrel under two other[1][2].

  • smoothbore barrels are chambered for standard 20/70 mm R shotgun shells[3][2].
  • a rifled barrel was chambered for 7.62×38mmR round[1][2] or special 6.5×38mmR round[3][2]

It is equipped with extractor[2].

All guns have a birch shoulder stock (with or without cheekpiece) and fore-end[1][3][2].
