An evolution of Robustelli’s sporting shotguns, upgraded with the technology of the future. This shotgun takes the same 23x75mmR pulse shells as similar offerings from Apex Arms, however it uses them to greater effect by magnetically aligning and accelerating the pellets down the barrel, like their other gauss guns. Although it’s been debated whether this technology is truly necessary for what is already a potent cartridge, Robustelli claims it is perfectly in line with their heritage of precision weapons.
The ‘ND’ is Italian for “Nuvola d’acciaio”, meaning “cloud of steel”, a name which Robustelli shotguns had maintained for nearly 700 years by the time of this model’s release. The ND-68 was a particularly controversial upgrade as it marked the transition to the hybrid gauss-pulse design the newer ND models are known for. Before that point, the line was entirely either traditional 12-gauge, or later 23mm, shotguns with no electronic components. To appeal to the purists who opposed the newer style, Robustelli produced the SV-69, a final traditional design that continues to be produced to this day in smaller numbers.
