The Panzer Arms BP12 Gen3 12 gauge FDE is a flat dark earth, magazine-fed semi-automatic bullpup that puts an 18.5-inch barrel in a short, maneuverable shotgun (Panzer Arms part no. PABP12BPSFDE). The third-generation design is lighter and more compact than the BP12 G2 and EGX500 bullpups it replaces. Panzer Arms pairs a 7075-T6 aluminum upper with real M-LOK slots and a new polymer lower with an upgraded gas system. The 15-degree AR-style grip accepts AR-15/M4 grips, and the controls are fully ambidextrous. It is built for defensive and utility roles where a long shotgun is a handicap.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I swap the pistol grip? Yes. Panzer Arms uses a 15-degree AR-style grip on the BP12 G3 that is compatible with AR-15/M4 grips.

Is the BP12 Gen3 left-hand friendly? Yes. The magazine release, safety, charging handle and QD mount are all ambidextrous, which matters on a bullpup where the ejection side is close to the face.
