Design
This is a compact version of Soviet MTs 20-01 hunting shotgun.
It features a metal stock that folds underneath the weapon in order to make it more compact, and a pistol grip. The rest of the stock is wooden. This shotgun was officially marketed as a hunting shotgun, but became popular among farmers, adventurers, travelers, campers, truck drivers and other people who needed a self-defense weapon for use in the countryside or wilderness. It received a lukewarm welcome among hunters, though it is somewhat popular for finishing wounded game.
In popular culture
The weapon is widely used in the popular tactical first-person shooter "Escape From Tarkov"
