Shotguns for CQB - what do you like?

[jpairsoft]

An airsoft gun's status as a RIF has nothing to do with it's material. It's all about colouring.

its still a RIF in its native black and you will need UKARA etc for a retailer to sell it to you.

AYAYAYAY

Ok before this thread goes tits up... I misused the word RIF.

What I meant to say is, would any approach the real steel version in build, feel, materials used, weight?

No UKARA need on this thread

Probably the TM M870 which is a replica of the Remington

 

[jpairsoft]

Ah, so TM shotguns aren't all plastic like their AEG and GBB?

You can also get 3D printed gun clips for next to nothing if you know someone with a 3D Printer - see picture underneath the quote

I've seen gun clips used on the M870 breacher before.

It's quite expensive for what it is, though: http://shop.ehobbyasia.com/blade-tech-ambi-military-remington-shotgun-holster-small.html#.VWBq2WCprzI

I suppose it would be cheaper to have a kydex one made through Facebook or to make it yourself. A carbon fibre one wouldn't be too difficult to make either, carbon fibre kits are about £40 from Carbon Mods in Stoke-on-Trent

LOVE the CYMA 350M. Just what I need for my Vietnsm loadout. Itchy credit card now...

Yeah that's what I use. I want to get hold of one of these though:

That's what I've got happy, bloody awesome for the price, and the fact that mines a shortie with the stock makes me grin lol!

Does this shop ships to the UK?

Another q

Is the ASG "tactical shotgun" the M1100 revision?

Yes to the first question, though Gunfire need to be given your UKARA number otherwise customs will seize and destroy it when it arrives in the UK. A contact number on the packaging also helps massively if there are any issues.
No to the second question if you mean this shotgun:

The Maruzen M1100 is a gas operated shell ejecting shotgun. A lot of fun but very impractical unless you hire someone to pick up your shells for you. The ASG is just a regular single shot spring shotgun. Nothing special - just very cheap. The fourteen shot shells are also very poor quality. This is very much a CQB gun though it has the same heavy pump as a trishot making it pretty pointless really. That said it is very light so makes a great secondary weapon.

Edit: Elaborated a bit more.

Another good thing with shotguns is you can shoot people in the hands as they try and get a sneaky peeky with their pistol against a corner

It's doable with all guns but much easier with the trishot spread.

Airshooter.co.uk will get you the one I linked for £55 plus postage. They're my local supplier, and also built my mk18 for me, fantastic bloke is stuart

Even better when all three shots hit... Hahaha

Damn it, thank you for this!!! I wrongfully assumed all ASG would be trishot because of some earlier posts here and was looking at that.

I'm "almost" tempted to go maruzen and get a shell catcher just because of the really small M1100 revision. I might instead save a bit more for a few months and go TM breacher

Thanks for this, I'll add it to my list of retailers

I might go with your suggestion or the asg short as they are really cheap. Or at least try them on in a game before lashing out £250 ish on a gas one.

Some really nice info about CQB'ing with shotguns on this thread!

No contest between a breacher and this mate. A lot more practical. Definitely go for the breacher - you won't regret it.
ASG do a number of single shot shotguns - including one that looks very close to a full length trishot. That said if they made a trishot version of their Tactical shotgun that I linked then I'd buy it in a heartbeat. It's a very compact gun so would be brilliant for CQB and room clearing.

Happy you on bout the one from gunfire? Cause mines tri shot....or have I got the complete wrong end of the stick here?

I'm on about the ASG Franchi Tactical shotgun mate, not the CYMA one you have.
