At IWA 2026 in Nuremburg, Germany and there were a lot of Turkish arms manufacturers represented there. This particular three-barrelled 12 gauge caught my eye so I took a close look at it.
The AKKAR Mammut 312 Black is a very-distinctive Turkish-made triple-barrel shotgun in 12-gauge with 3-inch chambers, featuring three barrels arranged in a unique configuration with a side-by-side pair below and one on top. Its matte black finish on the steel receiver and barrels gives it a sleek, tactical yet simultaneously retro appearance. This break-action shotgun allows three rapid shots using a single mechanical trigger, giving it 50% more firepower than your traditional side-by-side shotgun. Technology has progressed a long way since the 1880s.
I did like the top rail that will allow for mounting an optic. What I didn’t like was that I couldn’t figure out how to break the action open far enough to actually load a shell into the bottom two chambers. The picture where the action is opened shows the furthest that I could open it. Perhaps someone in the comments can clarify what I was doing wrong?
