Talk:KS-23

I would note that the barrel of caliber 23 mm was taken from the aircraft or antiaircraft guns. Currently, police do not use this shotgun - because it was too heavy Slow Rider 09:33, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

How accurate would one of these be?

Considering it has a rifled barrel and typically fires slugs, would it be as accurate as a rifle? The only reason I would think it wouldn't be is because the bullet might be too heavy to travel very far accurately. That's One Angry Duck 00:34, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

• World.guns.ru gives ranges in the region of 100-200 yards for it. I'd guess it's just the recoil that fucks with you; it's only a little over a pound heavier than a loaded M4 firing a round over four times the calibre. Also, the barrel isn't exactly huge in terms of calibre-length; the KS-23's is 22 calibres long, an M4's barrel is 66. Vangelis 08:55, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

KS-23K

So... how does it work? I mean, there's no way that the gripped portion of the barrel could be a pump handle, so is it semi-auto, or what? Pyr0m4n14c (talk) 20:09, 4 April 2017 (EDT)
