The Sjögren Inertia Shotgun (marked: Automat, system Sjögren Patent)[2] is a 12–16 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[3] and then by Håndvåbenværkstederne Kjøbenhavn in Denmark.[1][4] It used an inertia system later revived by the Italian firm Benelli and today widely used in shotguns.
