The Mossberg 590 Bliksem takes the 590 action, one of the most thoroughly proven pump shotgun designs in existence, and builds it into an ultra-compact configuration with a 14.37-inch barrel and a bird's-head style grip. Because it was never designed to be shouldered, it comes in at 26.5 inches overall while remaining classified as a firearm rather than a short-barreled shotgun.

Underneath is the 590's dual extractors, twin action bars, and steel-to-steel lockup, the features that carried it through the military's Mil-Spec 3443E testing. This one wears a raw brass and FDE treatment and holds six rounds of 12 gauge. It is about as compact as a serious defensive shotgun gets.
