	The KS-23 began development in 1975. The first serial guns were produced in 1981, full development completed in 1983, with a set of muzzle nozzles for throwing gas grenades and a full range of ammunition. The KS-23 was officially adopted by the Soviet police in 1985 (although some sources also refer to 1983). Originally, the KS-23 had a long barrel, blued finish, chrome bolt, and wooden furniture, and also a scope included in the standart kit, what did it more like a high-grade sporting gun, than a combat weapon. Towards the end of the 80s, it received a shorter barrel, simpler finish, and a synthetic forend. It was largely supplemented in police use with the KS-23M (modernized) in 1990. KS-23M was created as a solution to existing shortcomings, in the form of bulkiness and the difficulty of using it in cramped spaces. One of the initial upgrade variants also was to equip the weapon with an extended 4-round magazine tube (this version is referred to as KS-23-2), but in the end it was decided to use the compact version. Another variant was the KS-23-1, which is a version with a fixed stock and short barrel of the KS-23M pattern.		The KS-23 began development in 1975.

	A more conventional version (but under the still unusual 16/35 ammunition) for law enforcement/security purposes was presented by [[TsNIITochMash]] by the early 90s, although it did not become successful. Further improvements made to the design by the [[Molot\|VPO Molot]] specialists led to the appearance of the [[Molot Bekas]] (although, strictly speaking, this weapon after processing has little in common with the KS-23). An civilian version of the original KS-23, the TOZ-123 "Drake-4," was designed by Tulsky Oruzheiny Zavod in 1996. This variant features a smoothbore barrel. Imports of the TOZ-123 to the United States were banned during the Clinton Administration. Demand for the Drake-4 was low, and its production was soon discontinued~~.

	The '''KS-23''' ('''''K'''arabin '''S'''petsialniy'', "Special Carbine") is a Russian shotgun that fires 23mm shells (equivalent to 6.27 gauge or 4 gauge in the metric bore system used in some parts of Europe), making it most powerful shoulder-fired shotgun in use today. The guns themselves are mechanically based on the [[Winchester Model 1200]], and the barrels are made from cut-down rejected 2A7 antiaircraft gun barrels, intended for ZSU-23-4 self-propelled AA guns. Since it uses a rifled AA gun barrel, it is officially designated by the Russian military as a carbine, but in functional terms it is a pump-action shotgun. The KS-23 can fire a variety of loads including shot and slugs, and is also used with a cup adaptor and blanks to fire rifle grenades.

	~~In 1995, a new box magazine-fed bullpup~~ version, the ~~KS-23K,~~ was ~~developed for use~~ by the ~~Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs. The KS-23K is a rather mysterious model; in fact, aside from using the same ammunition~~, it ~~is technically unrelated~~ to the ~~original KS-23. KS-23K reloaded by pump action,~~ by ~~means of a cylindrical forearm with one traction under~~ the ~~barrel. Since this mechanism is poorly visible, this has~~ led to ~~widespread misconceptions that it is supposedly a semi-auto or pump-action with a moving barrel. No further information on~~ the ~~production and use~~ of the ~~KS-23K exists, and it was likely that the KS-23K remained a prototype weapon, and its production was discontinued. Parallel to the KS-23K,~~ [[~~TsKIB SOO~~]] ~~developed their own 23mm box magazine fed shotgun~~, ~~known as the [http://weaponland.ru/load/drobovik_oc_28/43-1-0-166 OTs-28]. The OTs-28 also did not enter service~~, ~~because it was more expensive to produce than~~ the KS-~~23K~~. ~~The third contender for replacement was the AEK-965 (essentially an analogue~~ of the KS-~~23M, but in a more ergonomic design), but it also was not accepted.~~		A more conventional version (but under the still unusual 16/35 ammunition) for law enforcement/security purposes was presented by [[TsNIITochMash]] by the early 90s, although it did not become successful.
