Baikal MP-131K [Shotgun]:

A Standard pump-action shotgun made in Russia, this weapon is made special by the fact that apart from the standard tubular magazine it has a second magazine located under the frame. A lever on the right hand side of the box magazine allows the shooter to switch between the two magazines in a instant, thus increasing not only the ammo load, but also the possible diversity of the ammo load.

The weapon is of reasonable manufacture, and is also available outside of Russia. A revolving breech-block is used for the lock-up of the action. Several variants of the weapon are available, with different stocks, barrel lenghts and magazine capacities.
