Supporters Rogerborg Posted September 30, 2017 Supporters Share Posted September 30, 2017 The pump action is pretty stiff on tri-shots, it'll get tiring quite quickly. There's a guy at my local CQB who carries one in a back scabbard for tacticool purposes but very rarely chooses it over his MP5. Ryan Silver Fox uses a gas tri-shot as a CQB primary, but also reckons the hand pumped ones are a ball ache. Well, an arm ache anyway. So I'd suggest that you go for an AEG carbine first, Smurf painted as necessary. I really can't fault my £75 CYMA M4 as a starting gun. All that said, I still quite fancy getting a shotgun myself, but I'd go for the cheapest Double Eagles which actually get fairly decent reviews (I wouldn't touch anything else by them), or have a look at what Gunfire can provide with a free dayglo paintjob: https://gunfire.pl/product-eng-1152206692-CM351-Shotgun-Replica.html https://gunfire.pl/eng_m_Technical-support_Free-painting-service-make-the-airsoft-gun-meet-your-local-law-requirements-14144.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 I bought a springer tri-shot recently. Loads of fun but ended up giving it to my mate who has arms like Arnie as he was the only one who could pump it easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceni Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 If I was ever going to do a shotgun my only critera would be that at some point I could cut it up to make an M4 masterkey.http://www.evike.com/products/28997/ To do that you would need a pump shotgun, with upper ris, and a pistol style grip. You should probably go for a main first over a shotgun. The guy I skirmish with has a few. Never once seen him put one in a bag for a shoot.

Airsoft_Mr B Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 I think they are worth it for the price, but only ever used mine indoors, so can't comment on what they are like at a distance, it's been a few year since I used my Double Eagle. That said I'm still thinking of getting a new one as it is always handy to not have to worry about having your battery die or gas / hpa run out and to have one as a back up. I bought the CM 351 for a mate a few month back and considering a 352 or 355 myself. I'd be interested to handle them to get an idea of the difference between metal and polymer variant that warrants the extra money though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat-jd Posted October 1, 2017 Author Share Posted October 1, 2017 Cheers guys was thinking of a shotgun for now as I have a chance to buy a m249 off a friend as soon as my ukara is sorted so don't think I really need a aeg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Rogerborg Posted October 1, 2017 Supporters Share Posted October 1, 2017 Ah, fair enough. I had a play today with an ASG SAS Franchi tri-shot, the short one without a stock. Surprisingly light and handy, I'm definitely going to add one at some point. One thing that struck me was that it has no rail for mounting any sort of scope, and low (but pretty decent) iron sights. So effectively you have to hold it right in front of your face to aim it, making a stock a distinct disadvantage for airsoft use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elts7 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 i have a double eagle one with a ris and i love it. get decent range out side and i didnt find it very tiring either. i took arouns 20 shells out for a game and found myself using them all! they are really fun to use. ide reccomend it. so supprising to rush the opposition with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Rogerborg Posted October 15, 2017 Supporters Share Posted October 15, 2017 Little BUMP. I got an ASG Franchi tri-shot and used it for a good few hours today in CQB. There's no adjustable hop. It's apparently got a fixed hop, but you'd never know it - shots from all three barrels drop off rapidly. The effective range is very short - you'll be lucky to get consistent hits at 10m and will be outranged by gas pistols. If the CYMA is anything like that, it's just not going to be suitable for anything other than very-CQB. All that said, I had an absolute blast with it because it's much lighter than even a plastic carbine, and it forces you to play more aggressively. But I couldn't recommend one for general purpose use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
