Escort BullTac

About the Escort BullTac

The Escort BullTac is a pump-action bullpup shotgun manufactured by the Turkish firm Hatsan Arms Company and marketed under its Escort brand. Introduced in 2023, its bullpup layout packs an 18-inch barrel into an overall length of roughly 27.75 inches while retaining a 5+1 tube magazine. It pairs an anodised aluminium alloy upper receiver with a synthetic lower, feeds 2¾-inch and 3-inch 12 gauge shells through a fixed cylinder choke, and ships with a detachable carry handle housing an adjustable rear sight over a fiber-optic front post. It is also offered in 20 gauge and .410 bore for sporting, home-defense, and tactical use.

Hatsan's BullTac brought the bullpup silhouette to the budget end of the pump-shotgun market, letting a full 18-inch barrel live inside a package barely longer than a sawed-off while keeping the magazine tube slung under the barrel like a conventional pump gun.
