Equipment Piece of the Week: M26 12-Gauge Modular Accessory Shotgun (MASS)

The lightweight M26 12-Gauge Modular Accessory Shotgun System (MASS) attaches to the M4 Carbine and zeroes to the host weapon. It is also designed to operate as a stand-alone system, and comes with a recoil-absorbing, collapsible buttstock. With a Picatinny rail on top, the receiver can be used to mount sighting equipment. The bolt handle (charging handle) is mountable on either side for ambidextrous handling.

The MASS enables Soldiers to transition more quickly between lethal and less-thanlethal fires and adds shotgun capability to their M4 without carrying a separate second weapon. Additional features include a box magazine, flip-up sights, and an extendable stand-off device for door breaching.

Learn more about the M26.
