Here video of the shotgun in action.

From the KelTec promotional video, it does NOT look like a smooth cycling action.  The operators look very jerky.  Hopefully this is due to it just being a prototype or that the people aren't familiar with running a pump shotgun versus it being a poor design.

I caught that too. I also noticed no one went through all seven rounds either. Hmmm.... I don't know, but that video did not increase my desire to own one. Neither does the fact that they won't have a shootable version at the SHOT show. Too bad as its neat idea. Hopefully these are just growing pains.

The big thing I didn't like is that the first guy was able to cycle the slide on an empty chamber and had to pull the trigger (that loud click) to find out that the first tube was empty.

If you look at the comments, neither shooter had ever used the shotgun before.

Hell I'm that spastic with my 870.  

It does look like it kills at both ends.

Well, the video said that this was early testing...so perhaps there have been a few refinements to make the action smoother. Either way, the short distance needed to pump the thing impressed me.

As for the magnum loads....just save those for your goose gun...not much need for them in a SD shotgun.

Can't wait to see the videos when Mr. Bane and the Quinn Boys get ahold of their KSG's....

I just found this about the shotgun:

I'm thinking they need to address this before it hits the market.

That is a pretty obvious "oopsie". I mean how many people screw this up when firing rapid fire with a pump? It just seems like something you would plan for, and if not plan for, then notice PDQ during testing. That is a huge fail. As the replies noted, it will (hopefully) be fixed, but why didn't they catch this?

Wow!!!   That is the way to turn a pretty good SD gun into an arcade plinker.

I noticed in the first videos the two guys shooting seemed to be having trouble with trigger manipulation....noticeably pausing to release it before pumping the slide.  I thought they were just very inept at pump shotguns.

I can't believe this showed up at SHOT like this.  Somebody at Kel-Tec doesn't have a clue about a couple of things.
