The weapon appears to be a tactical shotgun (similar to Mossberg 500/590 variants) with side-folding stock —likely rubber bullets were loaded as well.
Another video from #Almaty shows one of the security forces was shot dead by protestors.
Unfortunately the weapon can not be seen in the video.
Various hunting rifles/shotguns were captured along with possible air rifles in #Almaty, #Kazakhstan.
