IWI US Mafteah 12 Gauge 14" 5-Round Shotgun

The IWI Mafteah 12-gauge semi-automatic shotgun with 14-inch barrel and 5-round capacity delivers compact firepower designed for tactical applications where barrel length and overall profile are critical. Built by IWI US, Inc., this matte-black semi-automatic platform accommodates the 3-inch chamber standard, enabling shooters to cycle both standard and magnum loads without mechanical compromise. The 17.75-inch overall length positions the Mafteah as a vehicle-mounted or close-quarters entry platform, balancing shot-on-target speed with spatial constraints common to law enforcement and private security operations.

The pistol-grip configuration allows for single-handed manipulation and rapid target transitions during tactical drills. At 10.06 pounds, the Mafteah remains manageable during extended carry or defensive scenarios while the 5-round magazine capacity supports standard compliance requirements and training protocols. The semi-automatic action cycles reliably across common shotgun ammunition types—bird shot, buckshot, and slugs—without manual cycling between shots, a significant advantage during high-stress engagements where split-second follow-ups determine outcomes.

This shotgun serves law enforcement agencies, private security teams, and civilian operators requiring a short-barreled semi-automatic platform for vehicle deployment, breaching operations, or close-quarters defensive scenarios. The compact footprint and pistol-grip ergonomics make it ideal for shooters operating from confined spaces—vehicles, doorways, or restricted environments—where traditional long-barreled shotguns create handling difficulties. Shooters valuing magazine-fed semi-automatic reliability over pump-action cycling will find the IWI Mafteah's straightforward operation and genuine 12-gauge terminal performance a proven choice for serious applications.
