The FN TPS (Tactical Police Shotgun) is a pump-action shotgun designed and manufactured by FN Herstal. It is based on the Winchester Model 1300 and uses many similar features such as the ported barrel.[2] It also has many modern features, including an adjustable or A2 fixed stock, pistol grip, adjustable sights, and MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail.[2] The TPS features an M16A2-style front and rear sight. The sights are adjustable for both elevation and windage.[3]
