KelTec

Kel-Tec is an American firearm manufacturer known for its innovative and often unconventional designs. Founded in 1995 by George Kellgren, the company is based in Cocoa, Florida. Kel-Tec's product line includes a variety of semi-automatic pistols, carbines, and shotguns, often characterized by their lightweight construction, use of polymers, and distinctive aesthetics.

One of Kel-Tec's most recognized firearms is the SUB-2000, a compact and collapsible pistol-caliber carbine. This rifle is designed to fold in half for easy storage and transport, making it popular for recreational shooting and as a survival tool. The company also produces the P-32 and P-380 pistols, which are known for their slim profiles and concealability.

Kel-Tec gained significant attention with the RDB (Rifle, Divergent Bolt) series of bullpup rifles. The RDB features an ambidextrous downward ejection system, designed to eject spent casings away from the shooter's face, particularly beneficial for left-handed shooters. The KSG (Kel-Tec Shotgun) is another notable product, a pump-action bullpup shotgun with a unique dual-tube magazine system, allowing for a high ammunition capacity.

The company's design philosophy often emphasizes modularity and user-friendliness, aiming to produce firearms that are both functional and distinctive in the marketplace. Kel-Tec continues to develop and release new firearm models, maintaining its reputation for pushing the boundaries of conventional firearm engineering.
