  The Intrepid RAS-12/AR-12 is a semi auto shotgun derived from the AR-10 platform and manufactured by Intrepid Tactical Solutions. The weapon is chambered in a proprietary rimless 12 gauge round.
  
  The original RAS-12 working prototypes and intellectual property were developed from July 2011 to July 2012 in Hayden, Idaho by Erik DeJong and Teodor Puha of North Idaho Tech, Inc..
  
  In July 2012 a group of investors formed Intrepid Tactical Solutions and acquired the assets of NIT, while retaining DeJong and Puha in engineering and production roles.
  
  The RAS-12 gun and ammunition were introduced to the firearms industry at the SHOT Show in Las Vegas in January of 2013.
  
  Intrepid Tactical Solutions ceased operations in September of 2014.
