Here's the deal ... the DOJ says Shiesty and his alleged co-conspirators "executed an armed takeover" ... during which they say Shiesty forced Gucci at gunpoint to sign a release letting Shiesty out of his recording contract.

Along with the indictment ... the feds included several snapshots of surveillance from the building Gucci's studio is in, which appear to show the group of suspects entering the building -- and one of them leaving to retrieve a duffel bag.

That bag is a pretty big deal ... 'cause that allegedly held the AK-47 the crew used to threaten Gucci to sign the release.

If convicted, Shiesty could be headed back to federal prison ...a place he leftjust 6 months ago.

Bradford Cohen, Pooh’s attorney, tells TMZ … "I read over the indictment and can see some inconsistencies that we will address at future hearings. I will save any further comments for after we get full discovery. I know my client is looking forward to holding the Government to their burden."
