Hawk Industries manufactures a wide variety of shotguns, from standard pump actions to drum fed semiautomatics, with fixed or folding stock, and for civilian, hunting, police and military purposes.

These Chinese shotguns are direct clones of American models Remington 870 and 1100. These shotguns are of pretty standard make, no frills no experimentation. Both pump action and semiautomatic shotguns come in three varieties: classic, classical with a clip and bullpup.Police shotguns have well-made adjustable sights designed for both long range accuracy and precision when using non-lethal ammunition, mainly rubber bullets and tear gas canisters. Bullpup models are smaller and have fixed sights, placed on the handle, indicating that they are meant for shooting in tight confined quarters.

There are many different configurations of police and military guns, with classical and folding stock, varying shapes of the handle and the slide, the possibility of mounting attachments such as tactical light. A bullpup has a mobile cocking slide that is completely separated from the rifle contours; the front part of this element holds the tactical light. Rifle weighs just under7 pounds and is 26 inches (670 mm) long, a truly excellent compact close quarters firearm.

Semiautomatics also have atube magazine and clip variants as well as a bullpup version. Bullpup is much more compact, it is only 25 inches (630 mm) long compared to 35 inches (900 mm) of the classical semiautomatic.

Even though they may seem like cheap Chinese knock offs of 870 and 1100 these rifles are just as well made as originals. They offer truly excellent value for money.
