930 Design

• The 930 is a gas operated system. This means that the burning of gunpowder creates hot gases which push a piston which operates the action, ejecting the spent hull and chambering a fresh shell. This gas action thus reduces the felt recoil.

• The 930 uses 2.75 or 3 inch shells

• It is common to add Picatinny rails for flashlights and lasers, muzzle brakes, and accessories for door breaching.

• All Mossberg shotguns have an ambidextrous safety that is found on the rear of the receiver.
