:Magic, cause no one really knows how to. The KS-23K was only designed to make reloading easier, cause stuffing 6 gauge shells into a tube is a bit hard. Many sources say that the MVD uses it, but there is nothing concrete and I would guess they use the standard model instead. I'm seeing some being touted as semi-auto while others are saying it's the same action backed up Groza style, which really terrifies me. --[[User:PaperCake|PaperCake]] 22:34, 4 April 2017 (EST) | :Magic, cause no one really knows how to.

I would note that the barrel of caliber 23 mm was taken from the aircraft or antiaircraft guns. Currently, police do not use this shotgun - because it was too heavy Slow Rider 09:33, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
How accurate would one of these be?
Considering it has a rifled barrel and typically fires slugs, would it be as accurate as a rifle? The only reason I would think it wouldn't be is because the bullet might be too heavy to travel very far accurately. That's One Angry Duck 00:34, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
- World.guns.ru gives ranges in the region of 100-200 yards for it. I'd guess it's just the recoil that fucks with you; it's only a little over a pound heavier than a loaded M4 firing a round over four times the calibre. Also, the barrel isn't exactly huge in terms of calibre-length; the KS-23's is 22 calibres long, an M4's barrel is 66. Vangelis 08:55, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
KS-23K
So... how does it work? I mean, there's no way that the gripped portion of the barrel could be a pump handle, so is it semi-auto, or what? Pyr0m4n14c (talk) 20:09, 4 April 2017 (EDT)

- Dunno to what extend we can trust the sources. This says that the KS-23K didn't really see use, and this (page 337) states that the KS-23M never appeared in the hands of troops and that it accepts a grenade launcher called "Cheremuka-7". But when did I truly facepalm? When I saw this stating that the KS-23K is the only pump-action one while the others are semi-auto...
