Title, currently after a SPAS-12 and was wondering if the Double Eagle is worthwhile seeing as it's a little cheaper than the ASG. Both are just TM clones, and TM is completely off the table because I am not paying upwards of 200 quid for a plastic spring tri-shot lmao

Plus the markings on the ASG kinda look terrible and I'd prefer plain black - anybody have a DE one and can comment on it's quality? It probably won't be fielded much or at all really - I just want one for the looks and to fuck around with but if it's a honk of shit I won't bother and will just begrudingly go with the ASG and it's superficial markings if it's actually built to some decent standard

 
I have the Double Eagle version and reckon it's pretty decent. At the £40-50 price point, I think it's decent value now. It's only been fielded so many times but it's been reliable and taken a few knocks without anything breaking.

The paint on the shell release lever and the front sling attachment ring does flake off quite easily if that sort of thing bothers you.

 
I think they are exactly the same gun, you are just paying for the asg branding. On a side note the tm properly replicates the receiver and controls where as the de/asg is just their standard tri-shot receiver with a spas like front end and grip.

Edit, just looked it does have the right receiver not sure if it was an earlier model I came across or maybe a golden eagle one. But they are more than likely the same thing.

Fair enough - will look into the DE one because it's a lot cheaper from bbgunz compared to the ASG offering - it's not exactly a serious offering but it might be fun to use in our little killhouse they're planning at Delta in the future after this PB sponsored game on Sunday [which i'm terrified will go terribly, 100 people on our little 30 acre site is gonna be absolute chaos but hey fuck it]

 
I've got the TM one I bought used from the classifieds, never been fielded by me or ever likely to be while I have it.

All I can say is it looks & feels great, springs a real heave to cock so I'm naturally gonna assume it'll fire 3 bb's a mile away carving trees down as they go.

Realistically it crono'd at .66j 262.2fps on .2's but shotties are notoriously difficult to crono accurately.
