TriStar Arms Viper G2 Cmp 20 Gauge 24" 5-Round Shotgun

The Tristar Viper G2 Compensator 20-gauge semi-automatic shotgun delivers reliable performance in a compact platform optimized for youth shooters and recoil-sensitive operators. Built around a 3-inch chamber with a 24-inch ventilated rib barrel, this 5-round semi-automatic combines manageable proportions with field-proven reliability. The chrome-lined chamber and barrel provide corrosion resistance critical for extended use in variable conditions, while the quick-shot plug removal system streamlines maintenance and ammunition configuration changes in the field.

The 20-gauge platform generates significantly lower recoil than 12-gauge alternatives, a practical advantage for sustained training sessions and for shooters managing recoil sensitivity or building marksmanship fundamentals. The interchangeable choke system—supplied with Improved Cylinder, Modified, and Full choke tubes—permits rapid pattern adjustment without tools, essential for adapting to different shooting distances and target presentations. The fiber optic sight mounted on the ventilated rib enables rapid sight acquisition in variable lighting, while the walnut stock provides durable ergonomics and traditional aesthetics. At 7.56 pounds, the compact profile and light weight reduce fatigue during extended range sessions or field deployment.

This shotgun serves youth shooters transitioning to semi-automatic platforms, firearms instructors managing recoil in training environments, and hunters requiring a lighter-recoiling option for upland or waterfowl applications. The 20-gauge round offers ballistic sufficiency for small-game hunting and target sports while preserving shooter control and follow-up shot capability. The Viper G2 Compact model balances tactical functionality with accessibility, making it a practical choice for shooters prioritizing handling over larger-bore power.
