The Remington V3 is a gas-operated semi-automatic shotgun introduced by Remington Arms in 2015. It is chambered to use 12 gauge shells of {{convert|2+3/4|in|cm}} or {{convert|3|in|cm}} in length. It was recognized as an editor's choice by Sports Afield in 2015.
Design
The V3 uses Remington's patented gas-operated reloading system found in the Versa Max. The chamber that holds a shell when it is fired has a series of holes that regulate gas flow; shorter shells expose more of the holes than longer shells. While their designs are similar, the V3 and the Versa Max share no internal parts. Compared to the Versa Max, the V3 is lighter in weight and is priced lower.{{cite web |url=https://www.americanrifleman.org/articles/2016/8/29/remington-v3-shotgun-review/ |title=Remington V3 Shotgun Review |first=John |last=Zent |website=American Rifleman |date=August 29, 2016 |access-date=June 6, 2020}}
