The Kushnapup is a much better looking system designed specifically for the Saiga-12 shotgun.

This video shows 10 slugs being fired from a Saiga fitted with the kit.

The kit does not require any permanent modification to the shotgun and can be easily installed, no gunsmith required. The current model only accepts stick magazines, but a new kit is in development and it will accept drum magazines. The kit costs $275.

It makes the bayonet pistol look impotent!

Izhmash Factory
Below are some of their firearm promotional videos. I enjoy watching and reading military promotional material which are usually designed to entice the buyer to purchase millions of dollars worth of goods, rather than consumer marketing trying to entice you to try another type of tooth paste.

The first video is about the AK, Dragunov and Bizon firearms. The second is about the Saiga-12 shotguns. These video are also available on the Izhevsk website here.
