TriStar Arms Viper G2 16 Gauge 28" 5-Round Walnut Stock Semi-Auto Shotgun

The TriStar Arms Viper G2 16 Gauge 28" 5-Round Walnut Stock Semi-Auto Shotgun delivers reliable performance for hunters, sport shooters, and tactical operators who demand a dependable platform without excess recoil. The 16-gauge cartridge offers a balanced compromise between payload and impulse—lighter than 12-gauge loads while maintaining energy for upland game and clay sports. Purpose-built as a semi-automatic, this shotgun cycles reliably across standard and reduced-recoil ammunition, making it accessible to shooters of varying experience levels and physical build.

The 28-inch barrel provides optimal shot-to-target velocity and pattern density while the semi-automatic operation reduces felt recoil through gas-operated cycling—a mechanical advantage over pump or break-action designs when firing consecutive rounds. The walnut stock and fore-end deliver ergonomic control and traditional aesthetics; the Turkish walnut is lightweight yet rigid enough to manage the 7.88-pound total weight without inducing fatigue during extended shooting sessions. The 5-round magazine capacity meets most hunting and sport shooting regulations while offering quick follow-up shots when necessary; the vertical feed system minimizes jams common in undersized loading ports.

Law enforcement training units and civilian upland hunters benefit most from the Viper G2's balance of power and controllability. The TriStar platform accepts standard Invector-Plus-compatible choke tubes, allowing shooters to optimize patterns for skeet, trap, or field conditions. The shotgun functions reliably with 2.75-inch chamber ammunition, the industry standard for most commercial 16-gauge loads, and pairs well with traditional shotgun gear including slings, soft cases, and recoil-reducing stocks for specialized applications.
