Browning BPS
Notes: This is a fairly common and inexpensive shotgun with a sighting rib. It is designed for 3" magnum shells, and five barrel lengths are available. It was built by Miroku in Japan, and though it was introduced in North America in 1977, it was not introduced to Europe until 1980, where it was known by the nickname of "Trombone." The various models are basically identical for game purposes. They are all equipped with Invector interchangeable chokes.

Browning BPS-SP
Notes: This is a police version of the BPS above. The BPS-SP has been strengthened to withstand the punishment that can be placed on such service weapons and to decrease the possibility of jamming or other malfunctions. The BPS-SP cannot chamber a round without positive movement of the slide, and live rounds cannot be accidentally be ejected from the weapon. The finish is treated to require the least possible maintenance.
