ETERNAL ARMS - Eternal BP-12 Bull Pup 12 Gauge 18" 5+1 and 10+1 rd

Love shooting this semi auto! Recoil is much less than I expected. Action is very smooth. Fits under armpit so no recoil on shoulder. Everyone should have this self defense weapon!

This shotgun fired 3 rounds at the range then the bolt jammed into the barrel. Disassembled, cleaned, reassembled and it still would not match up correctly to full close the breach. Took it to a gunsmith and he stated that the barrel and bolt were misaligned from the factory and could not be repaired. Recommended I return it. Do not recommend this shotgun. Looks cool but is not reliable and was poorly made.

Took this shotgun out to the range and got 3 shots thru it before it jammed. The breach and the barrel no longer lined up and were literally locked together. Something moved inside the gun after only 3 round. I took it to a gunsmith and he said it was a manufacturing defect. The dimple on the barrel that keeps it in place was not correctly aligned. Tried to return it to Brownells but this is apparently a "special" firearm that is not covered and cannot be shipped back. Sold "as is" with no return policy applying to it. So I am stuck with an expensive paper weight that will never fire another round. Tried contacting manufacturer, Eternal, but they want to charge me just to ship it to them with no guarantee on replacement or repair. Not a good deal. Also, I recently learned that shotgun magazines actually crush the front of the plastic 12 Gauge rounds causing misfires and jamming. Not recommended for self defense due to frequent failure to fire.
