The NeoStead 2000 (NS2000) is a bullpup combat shotgun developed by Truvelo Armoury of South Africa.The NS2000 has been used in trial runs for a few years by special forces like the British SAS and there are hopes at NeoStead that larger weapons manufacturers will licence the production rights. Production of the shotgun began in 2001 and the first models were made available in October of that year. It is notable due to its unusual forward pump action.
