The Citadel Pup Scout 12 gauge USA flag edition is a semi-automatic bullpup shotgun from Citadel with a Stars and Stripes Cerakote finish (Citadel part no. FRPS1218USA). The bullpup layout puts the action behind the trigger, so a full 18.5-inch barrel fits in a compact gun. Integral Picatinny rails run along the top and bottom of the metal upper, and the stock adds an adjustable cheek riser for use with an optic. Ambidextrous controls and folding sights round out the package. It is a good fit for a home-defense shotgun that also stands out on the range.
