The ESCORT® BTS Bullpup offers all the perks of the VTS series shotguns in a more compact, portable package. This next-generation shotgun is available in 12 ga or .410 cal and in black or FDE Cerakote. Its compact nature makes it an excellent choice for field use or home defense.

The 12-gauge models feature an 18” barrel with removable chokes, including an extended cylinder bore choke brake that helps tame recoil with heavy shots or slugs. Also included are full and improved cylinder flush-mount chokes, with additional options available from HatsanUSA. Each gun ships with two 5-round magazines, but an optional 2-round magazine is also available. The gun’s SMART Valve Piston will cycle 7/8 oz to 2 oz magnum loads in 2 ¾” and 3” magnum rounds, credited to its self-regulating design.

The .410 models feature a 20” barrel with a fixed cylinder choke, suitable for both shots and slugs. This shotgun is one smooth operator, offering the same recoil-absorbing characteristics as the larger caliber models. The BTS ships with two 5-round magazines, but an optional low-capacity mag holds three shells. The gas operation performs similarly; standard and magnum loads cycle smoothly and reliably without requiring external adjustments.

The length of any bullpup is an advantage over traditional designs. Using the same gas-piston system as the other VTS shotguns, the BTS Bullpup is slender and has smaller dimensions. The synthetic barrel cover features Hatsan’s patented ThermoDefend technology that absorbs and dissipates heat while containing the gas operating system. A DuraDefend magazine enhances the durability against extended use.

The BTS Bullpup provides an exceptional shooting experience with enhanced ergonomics and thoughtfully laid-out controls. Recoil is expertly managed between a soft rubber buttpad and a long recoil spring. The soft rubber pistol grip is removable and can be exchanged for one of many currently available aftermarket options to suit the individual user. The tough polymer lower receiver also doubles as the forend grip, with soft rubber inlays for improved handling.

The BTS Bullpup features a one-piece carry handle sight that can be replaced with the included flip-up sights for a lower profile or mounted optics. Picatinny rails are also located on either side of the forend to accommodate a variety of accessories. The reversible charging handle provides the capability for ambidextrous use.

As with all ESCORT shotguns, the barrels are proof-tested at the factory to ensure quality and durability. The hard chrome and/or Cerakote coatings look great and are built to withstand the harshest conditions. HatsanUSA offers a 5-year limited warranty with all ESCORT firearms.
