The Sjögren Inertia Shotgun is a 12-Gauge semi-automatic shotgun that was designed by the Swedish inventor Carl Axel Theodor Sjögren, initially manufactured by AB Svenska Vapen- och Ammunitionsfabriken in Sweden[2] and then by Håndvåbenværkstederne Kjøbenhavn in Denmark.[1][3] It used an inertia system later revived by the Italian firm Benelli and today widely used in shotguns.
