TM breacher shotgun help - corrected to M3 super 90

[Tommikka]

I’ve bought some pieces in an auction bundle, which includes this TM breacher

I believe that I have a partially complete shotgun, other than a dry fire it’s untested

There are no shells

Questions would be:

What am I missing up front?

(eg just a cap, or a full assembly)

Without that assembly / with a bit of DIY, could it still be functional with a shell? (Or would the BBs/CO2 spray out on loading ?)

Any advice would be appreciated 

As many of you know, I don’t play but occasionally run games.

My options are;

Get it up & running and use it for a ‘pick up gun’ for one of our event formats 

Do nothing and keep it as a dry firing prop

Offer up for sale for somebody else to sort out

There’s a good reason why you can’t see pictures ………

The missing cap has no function except to cover the hole.

In real steel, that's the magazine tube holding the shells, here it is an empty tube.

Shells should be easy to find. Shells function as a magazine here.

Check if the gas tank is not leaking, should be in the grip.

Ahem?.......... Doesn't look like a tm breacher to me ? 

Mine looks like this

….. and on closer inspection the writing on the side tells me exactly what it is:

TM M3 Super 90

Which appears to be a springer not gas, and therefore in theory should only need a shell

Nothing in the grip which fits in with my misidentification and it probably bring spring operated 

I’ll deal with plugging the rogue hole to minimise the random gaps - either a proper plug or making something 

Thanks all
