Sjögren shotgun


The Sjögren Inertia Shotgun is a 12 gauge semi-automatic shotgun that was designed by the Swedish inventor Carl Axel Theodor Sjögren, initially manufactured by AB Svenska Vapen- och Ammunitionsfabriken in Sweden and then by Håndvåbenværkstederne Kjøbenhavn in Denmark. It used an inertia system later revived by the Italian firm Benelli and today widely used in shotguns. A small number of semi-automatic military rifles in 7.63mm calibre based on the Swedish mauser using the Sjögren system, fed from internal five round magazines, were also built, and tested by potential buyers, but found no market.
