About
What it is, and why it matters
The ATA Neo is an inertia-driven semi-automatic shotgun manufactured by the Turkish firearms maker ATA Silah Sanayi (ATA Arms). Chambered in 12 gauge with a 3-inch (76mm) chamber, it uses a simple recoil-inertia operating system built from just three main parts (bolt body, inertia spring and rotating bolt head), giving it a very light weight and clean balance with no gas cylinder or action-bar linkage in the forend. A typical configuration pairs a 28-inch multichoke barrel with a 7mm ventilated rib, a red fiber-optic front bead, four flush-fit choke tubes and adjustable stock shims, on a matte-finished aluminium-alloy receiver with walnut or synthetic furniture. Sold worldwide as an affordable game and clay gun, the Neo is one of ATA Arms' best-known autoloaders.
ATA Arms grew from a long line of Turkish gunmakers in the Konya and Istanbul regions and became one of Turkey's largest shotgun exporters, supplying gas-operated autoloaders to Western brands while selling its own Neo line worldwide.
ATA Arms is a major Turkish OEM that also builds shotguns for export under several Western brand names. The Neo line spans field, synthetic and patterned-camo configurations; some specifications vary by barrel length and market. Figures listed reflect a representative 12-gauge 28-inch synthetic model reviewed at roughly 7lb 4oz with a 3-round magazine.

Trajectory
What the round does downrange
Solved from the muzzle figures and the bullet. The dashed rule is the effective range on the record, and the crosses are the steps the solver returned.
No load solved for this record yetThe flight path is computed from a cartridge and a bullet. This record has no ammunition filed against its chambering, so there is nothing to solve.
