1 out of 3 shotguns works properly… not bad right? hahah
Hickok45 did a long review on this shotgun a while back, and it just looks overly complicated.
Lucky for the manufacturer, most of FPS Russia’s viewers are teenage Cawad00dy nerds, so I’m sure this embarassment will just get swept under the rug for the most part.
Thoughts? Running out to buy a UTS-15?
I haven’t handled one yet but from all the video’s I’ve watched it seems that they are fairly hard to pump and very intollerant to short stroking which is a bad combination. Add to that the manual of arms is way different with this shotgun so I’m not surprised to see problems. My idea of the shotgun in a self defense role is something light, very quick on target and natural pointing, and as idiot proof as you can make it. IMO all these “high capacity” shotguns are getting away from the natural advantages of a shotgun.
I don’t know man, aside from the “holy crap this is taking a century to reload” style magazine, the KSG seems to do the job well enough. Of course, that’s slightly offset by having what, 13 rounds? Still, I get what you’re saying.
And for further lolz, Nutnfancy put the KSG through a ringer. The thing sucks. Thoroughly.
***Correction*** that last part should say “UTS-15″. The top paragraph is about the KSG
I really wanted to like the UTS-15, but it isn’t looking so good. The compactness and extra capacity seemed like big plusses. The extra weight, bulk, and height of the gun seemed like the downsides. The thing doesn’t seem that fast to shoot either (but then I probably shouldn’t use FPS Russia as the benchmark for running a gun efficiently).
The first hint should have been when they sent him three of the same shotgun to test (not alot of faith in their gun). Would have been nice if he described how the thing broke, instead of just saying it broke. I guess for the COD fans saying “this gun bad” is enough to scare them off, or maybe not if the gun looks cool enough.
I’d buy it over kel-tec.
I’ve been playing Call of Duty since it came out on the PC and call of duty finest hour on the original xbox..and I’m an “old” gamer (31 years old).
Not a fan of Kyle or his FPS videos. They run in the same vein as “nutnfancy”..which is just plain annoying and not worth the time. Fat guy and ancient guy doing 20 minutes of bitching/whining youtube videos are about the same as the previous 2 youtube “celebrities”.
Seems like every review I’ve seen for the UTS-15 shows a malfunction of some sort. But the KSG had some serious problems too that were fixed in the new version. Hopefully the UTS-15 will see the same improvement.
I wish we (as the gun culture) could sweep the embarrassment that is FPS Russia under the rug along with this shotgun.
Hear, Hear. If I ever hear “Hello, my friends” coupled with that little twist of the neck and that shit eating grin again….i’m going to have a panic attack.
Him and Joe Biden are full of good shotgun advice.
what was he shooting at 2:59
Wwwhooowww, who is on a diet? Looks like he lost a lot of weight. Skeletor look does not suit him.
Nutnfancy did an entire review of pure slamage on this shotgun, if you can stand the video length you’ll see how thorough he describes all of the inferior qualities of the weapon.
Call me antiquated but I prefer a pump or semi-auto with a 26″ barrel and a bead sight and a ventilated rib over all of this tacticoolery, Saigas included. I want a shotgun that I can hunt and shoot clays with, is well balanced and ergonomic, and that does not make me look like a d-bag at the clays range. A good hunting style shotgun is so much more practical.
Try going around a hallway corner or clearing a room with a 26″ barrel next time you hear a loud noise in your house at night. I promise you will change your mind.

uts = ugly turkish shyt
Ill stick to my Remington 870 and Benelli M4
P.S. – Turks have a very relevant military and arms design history. They design and build their own F16s and a variety of small arms.
Additionally, having worked hand in hand with their SAT/SAS and Maroon Berets, I can attest to their amazing fighting prowess and military heritage. One of the craziest experiences I’ve seen them do is when they were doing pistol shooting. They took turns standing next to the target silhouettes and their teammates shot at the targets…at some distance. They’re good at what they do. Their camouflage tradecraft is also second to none. They’ve won or placed top three in many international SF/SpecOps competitions. I was also impressed at their use of Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, and other mixed martial arts…waaaay before any of the more well-known teams started using and designing MACP, MCMAP, etc…ala Matt Larsen and others. These are some hardcore vicious dudes. It was an honor to train with them. We exchanged some great training strategies and some good swag.
Like I said, this is my experience with their teams. They’re very good guys to boot. I really enjoyed my time at Egridir Dag ve Komando Okulu. I picked up the language and a bit of a taste for their awesome food. I highly recommend paying Istanbul a visit if you get a chance. Good people, good food, huge partiers to boot! You guys gotta try the Raki drink. It’s like Anise. It looks like water but when you add water to it, it turns a wild smoke or cloudy color. Tastes like licorice. Good shit though!
Good guys. KOMANDO YENILMEZ!!
Hint: Ottoman Empire.
I’ve owned my uts15 for about 6 months and have put a couple hundred shells through it. I have had zero issues. I chose this over the kel tec because the kel tec is impossible to find and the uts will alternate fire from each chamber automatically. It’s short, light weight, and looks like something from robocop. It’s an amazing weapon. I am kind of hoping someone makes a 20 gauge tactical shotgun so my 110lb wife could shoot it.
Got my uts today after 3 months waiting and it made 13 rounds and the weld that holds the foregrip to the barrel on both sides broke off on both sides
