GForce Arms GFY-1 Bullpup Semi-Auto Shotgun 12ga - Tabletop Rundown

[@GforceArms]

Thanks so much for making a video on our firearm! We appreciate your honest review, thoughts and rundown. Cheers!

[@ECPOutdoors]

It’s honestly really cool of you guys to reach out like this! It shows that you’re interested in what the market has to say. I look forward to stocking more of your products 👍🏻👍🏻

[@GforceArms]

@@ECPOutdoors We understand it's difficult getting out all the necessary information when you're a new company. Any extra help with info is welcomed!! Thanks again for caring about the market, too. Cheers!

I bought one of these guns just curious what the different chokes do I’m not too familiar with shotguns

[@GforceArms]

@@williamspisak5375 A choke is designed to alter or shape the distribution of the shot as it leaves the firearm. For shooting most game birds and clay pigeons, a desirable pattern is one that is as large as possible while being dense enough to ensure multiple hits on the target, at a particular range. Google it to see some visuals on how this works!

[@truevikingking]

@@GforceArms biggest suggestion i have is more detail on teardown in manual. I got the shroud off, but removing charging handle instructions are just "remove it", no instructions on how. Stripped off some of finish trying to unscrew and pull straight out

[@kbwilliams3631]

This Bull pup was a great buy... After the break-in I compared it to a buddy of mine Panza Bull pup The GForce it’s about 4inches shorter and this thing out performed his Panza Arms... I’m very satisfied with this one...

[@Hcloud65]

I just shot mine today for the first time, not one jam; I am loving it. You must use the 1300 fps ammo to get it broke in.

[@Alex-lz1so]

Got mine a few weeks ago and I love it. Great for plinking. I use rifled slugs in mine because this is what my Range requires.

[@poppabear946]

Great gun and fun to shoot. I've had mine for a month now. Added a holosun 510c and shot about 200 rounds through it...from 7 1/2 shot; 1550 fps BB shot; 00 buck; 1600 fps and 1300 fps slugs. It even ran some1200 fps low brass around the 100 round count even though it's recommended to run nothing less than 1300 fps rounds. Only hiccup was when I used a 10 round mag..it stove piped once but never again afterwards. Make sure y'all oil it first, and work the bolt...even dry fire it as much as you can before hitting the range. I even left the bolt open for about 5 days to help with the tension on the new spring to insure proper round cycling....it worked for me! Hope this helps.

[@ECPOutdoors]

Awesome! I bet the holosun is sick on there. I really appreciate the input! It was super helpful 👏🏻👏🏻

I honestly was going to do a video over this gun but I'm really bad at talking about things so thank you for making one

[@ECPOutdoors]

You should make one too! More info out there from different perspectives is always good

[@KingStreamTv]

Same here lol I need to make one. There aren't alot of videos out. Going to the range this weekend with video and adding drum plus attachments.

[@dustinjernberg5287]

The other day I went Window shopping for a Bullpup shotgun and AR rifles. I ended up looking at that same rifle and I was fairly impressed with both the GForce Bullpup and AR rifles. I like how the rifles upper and lower plus the handgaurds were all

[@daemonwhitebeard6590]

I recently purchased one a few days back. I live in Southern Arizona. Paid $649.00 for it, $35.00 for an extended magazine. $80. 00 for two boxes of 00 Buckshot. After taxes ( 8.1% tax; $61.88), so around $825.88 all told if the math is correct. It has everything I look for in a home defense shotgun. Mine has full and modified 1/2 choke and buckshot tube. I am putting a Red Dot/Green Laser sight and a tactical flashlight on her. Informative. Thank you for the video.

[@ECPOutdoors]

Awesome! Glad you like it and thank you for reaching out!

[@jamesbundy1781]

I have one and I love it! Put a vertical fore grip, red dot scope, came with 3 chokes and can use Rock Island VR80 mags.

[@justj3014]

Just bought 1 and I am very happy with it, not only does it look cool, but it functions well with high brass. I say get one before the price goes crazy 👍🏾

[@TonyV89]

Got mine for father's day and I love it. I've only put 50 rounds of 2 3/4" through it and it cycles well. The grip is awesome and doesn't feel cheap, the gun itself is kinda heavy, but very manageable. The only complaint I have is the type of sights it comes with, but those can be changed in a minute flat. I love it, and I mean I was giddy as a little girl when I got it. I totally recommend it.

[@jamesbundy1781]

I also have a SAR9 from Turkey, both excellent weapons. Good things are coming out of Turkey!

[@jamesbundy1781]

I love mine! Modified with a red dot scope and vertical forward grip!

[@ECPOutdoors]

Nice!!

[@MrDLRu]

Thx, glad I came across this, it's amazing what 8mos later will do..Just ordered one for $344 OTD. The ambidextrous magazine release and right side charging handle sold me. The ATI Bulldog I have doesn't have either, and the AR style charging handle doesn't work well on bullpups. At least with their setup, as you need 2 fingers to unlock the charging handle latches. Looks like GForce has 2 different bullpup models they're selling.

[@ECPOutdoors]

Great price! Did you get to run it yet?

[@MrDLRu]

@@ECPOutdoors Yeah, got lucky on the price. The ATI Bulldog will run on the 1200fps stuff, but the GForce won't. Bought some higher brass bird shells, but haven't got out to the range yet to try those out. It's a cool gun, hopefully they hold up.

[@FenrirPlays-z9r]

that "Barrel shroud" isnt just for looks. It holds the forearm in place so it doesnt slip off when firing. taking it off is for ease of access when cleaning

[@ECPOutdoors]

Thank you!

[@skystlimit3047]

you have the front site on backwards. it's supposed to be facing forward and bending backwards, so if you run into a branch or something then it flips closed and doesn't break.

[@ECPOutdoors]

Yeah, we noticed this after the video. It came out of box that way and I didn’t catch it until later 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@BartoniusAustinius]

Just picked one up, have taken it out twice. Anything around 1300 fps and above cycles flawlessly. Put some high-powered 1oz slugs through it (1600fps)and was consistently on a 12 inch target at about 50 yards. Not a huge fan of the rear sight and the safety is garbage, but overall very happy with the purchase

[@ECPOutdoors]

Perfect! Sounds like it’s working good for you!

[@singleplykarl]

You guys rock !!! Just picked up one from Coastal Farm and Ranch supply of Oregon and Washington!!! Cant wait to shoot it! Way to go Gforce!

[@lesagnelly3968]

Had one for a while and never shot it. I can't wait. Working all the time gotta make time for my 2nd kids

[@lilabnerboys]

hope you got a real good deal on that pos. I bought one and put about 35 rounds though it and the barrel expanded and the gas block got stuck on the barrel. sent it back to get it fixed, replaced , and they sent it back telling me the barrel wasn't damaged and it needed to be cleaned. after I got it back of course I followed their recommendation and guess what, same results. it cost me 30 to send it back to them and they didn't stand behind their crap product. good luck to anyone who has one of these trash can guns.

[@sylvanus6516]

Literally just left gun show here in Baltimore and picked this up for $500 brand new with 2 mags and additional barrel threads

[@andrewlopez1375]

The only criticism I can give is the safety, everything else is amazing!

[@ECPOutdoors]

Awesome! Thanks for the comment too! What did you find with the safety?

[@andrewlopez1375]

@@ECPOutdoors the selector is just too small in my opinion, trying to take the weapon of off safe into fire or vice versa is near impossible to to one handed. Since it is ambidextrous I take my other hand to assist switching. I believe if it was just a tad bit longer your finger would have enough leverage to do it but right now with the short selector it's too hadd

[@truevikingking]

Can you do a disassembly video? I can't figure it out through the manual, specifically the removing charging handle

[@GforceArms]

A choke is designed to alter or shape the distribution of the shot as it leaves the firearm.

Google it to see some visuals on how this works!

[@ECPOutdoors]

Gforce pretty much nailed it. A choke tightens or spreads out your shot when shooting something target loads (or bird shot). The tighter the choke, the more that shot stays grouped closer together. The wider the choke, the more that shot spreads. Typically, the most opened up choke is the cylinder and the tightest being your “Full” choke. So for this weapon, it includes a cylinder choke (wide open), modified choke (kind of in the middle), and full choke (as choked down as possible). There’s a lot of really great articles and videos out there too that get even more in depth. Also, feel free to email or DM me on any of the socials and I’ll help further if I can 🤠

[@ethanclark6859]

My local shop has them for $389.99. Thanks for the info, do you know if they run well?

That’s pretty good! Overall they seemed to have ran pretty good from what we’ve seen

[@ethanclark6859]

@@ECPOutdoors I may have to go pick one up then lol. I like the idea of bullpup semi auto shotguns, and I think GForce is the first company to make one that doesn’t look or feel obnoxiously unwieldy.

[@wc153221]

Customer showed up at my gunsmith shop and the gun won’t run.Repeated misfires. He got it at a Boss Pro shop and they will not help him. He states GForce will not help him. I will try and help him. Internal machining is very poor. I found tool Marks and burrs inside the bolt where the firing travels through. Smooth up all moving parts due to all the tooling marks on all the moving parts. I will test fire the gun to see if it works now. Generally, I no longer work on Turkish made guns because of all the problems I see with them as a gunsmith. They state you need loads of 1300fps to make gun run so using trap or light game loads that cost $7 a box are out. You will probably spend twice that amount for high brass, high velocity loads.

[@ECPOutdoors]

I appreciate the input! It’s good to know

[@antwaynetube]

Thank you for that.

[@carrier102]

You gotta run the shit out of it for a while then try again. Extremely stiff spring in these units. Feed it more and full send eventually.

My GFY-1 will not tolerate any ammo below 1200-1300 fps. My GFY-1 keeps up with my M1 Super 90. I am quite impressed with the performance of my GFY-1. I am disappointed with the quality of the GFY-1. Shake it and the GFY-1 rattles like Hell. Shake my M1 Super 90 and you get no rattling at all, only spaghetti. Also, my GFY-1 doesn't come with a built-in beer bottle opener. Very disappointing. Maybe the upgrade will have this option.
