About
What it is, and why it matters
The ATA SP is an over-under, break-action shotgun chambered in 12 gauge and produced by the Turkish manufacturer ATA Arms. Built around a boxlock action with a single selective mechanical trigger and automatic ejectors, it is offered with either a standard steel or a lightweight aluminium-alloy receiver and is fitted with Turkish walnut stocks, a ventilated rib, a fiber-optic front bead and interchangeable choke tubes. Marketed for hunting and clay-target disciplines, the SP is positioned as an affordable alternative to comparable Italian and Belgian over-unders.
ATA Arms grew out of a Turkish gunmaking tradition centred on the city of Istanbul, and its SP over-under became one of the company's export staples, sold in the United States through EAA as a budget-priced sporting and field gun.
Barrels are rated for up to 3-inch (76mm) 12-gauge shells. The push-button top-tang safety doubles as a barrel selector, with a red dot revealed when set to fire. Imported into the United States by EAA Corporation. Offered with 28-inch (711mm) or 30-inch (762mm) barrels; alloy-receiver versions weigh roughly 2.8 kg while steel-receiver models are nearer 3.2 kg.

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.
