The KS-23 (Karabin Spetsialniy) is a Russian shotgun but, since it uses a rifled barrel it is officially designated by the Russian military as a carbine. It is the most powerful shoulder-fired shotgun in use today, firing 23mm shells which are equivalent to 6.27 gauge. There are civilian, door-breaching, bullpup and military versions of this weapon.
