TriStar Arms 24152 Viper G2 20 Gauge 3" 6-Round Cerakote Shotgun

The TriStar Arms 24152 Viper G2 20 Gauge 3" 6-Round Cerakote Shotgun is a purpose-built semi-automatic platform engineered for hunters, sport shooters, and tactical training environments requiring reliable, repeating shotgun performance. Built on the proven inertia-driven operating system, this 20-gauge delivers the handling characteristics and reduced recoil profile essential for extended shooting sessions and precision shot placement. The Viper G2 represents TriStar's refinement of semi-automatic shotgun design, offering shooters a gas-free, simple-maintenance alternative to traditional pump or break-action designs.

The Cerakote finish applied to the receiver and barrel provides enhanced corrosion resistance and durability in field conditions, essential for weapons subjected to moisture, salt spray, or frequent transport. At 8.4 pounds with overall dimensions of 37.2 inches, the shotgun maintains excellent balance and controllability—critical when executing multiple follow-up shots or transitioning between targets. The 3-inch chamber accommodates standard 2.75-inch and 3-inch 20-gauge ammunition, while the 6-round magazine capacity supports tactical drills and hunting scenarios requiring rapid, reliable fire without frequent reloading.

This platform excels for law enforcement training, competitive 3-gun sport, home-defense preparation, and waterfowl or upland hunting applications where reliable semi-automatic function and quick follow-up capability matter. The 20-gauge chambering reduces shooter fatigue and allows lighter recoil-sensitive operators to maintain faster sight acquisition between shots compared to 12-gauge alternatives. Compatibility with standard Invector-style choke tubes enables end-users to optimize patterns for buckshot, slugs, or birdshot depending on mission requirements—making this shotgun adaptable across multiple duty and recreational scenarios.
