Wegalaxy Posted Friday at 00:03 Share Posted Friday at 00:03 Hello, So I bought a double eagle single shot spring shotgun with 2 extra mags just in case my AEG fails on a game day This specific one. https://bbguns4less.co.uk/products/double-eagle-m58a-tactical-bb-shotgun-m500-in-blue.html And it is amazing!!! On .25s it shoots 300-305 fps and its accuracy and range is crazy. It only holds 14 bbs in the mag and I only shoot it when I know I am going to hit someone. I get more people out with it than I do with my £400 custom ARP 9. Even seasoned players are amazed with its performance and I have played with it for a full day on multiple times. So here is my question. Why is it so good??? Is it something about springers that are so reliable and accurate? Food for thought happy new year.

Popular Post Amokura Posted Friday at 00:09 Popular Post Share Posted Friday at 00:09 I have found that with single (not semi) fire airsoft guns, the user takes extra caution and precision when firing knowing the "limitations". : ) Galvatron, Tommikka, DJsnipe and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogsbody100 Posted Friday at 10:26 Share Posted Friday at 10:26 Over at AP they were selling very similar replicas for the princely sum of 25 quid, they were left over from a special event game and were initially viewed as a bit of a laugh and certainly nothing serious at all. I’m pretty sure they were double eagle too however these were the sawn off version. I bought one just for shits and giggles and was also staggered at how accurate they were, such was their popularity at the site they stared stocking spare mags for them, I still have it and like the OP it’s my backup gun. Weird where quality can be found! Rogerborg, Tackle and Wegalaxy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird where quality can be found! Those are indeed Double Eagle ones. I bought one at their now sadly defunct Tower site, much to the amusement of those around me in the safe zone. I took it out as my primary weapon in the next game and was also amazed at the range and accuracy. They are great little guns.

Hudson Posted Friday at 11:41 Share Posted Friday at 11:41 I used some of the more recent ones at humber Airsoft with 0.28, as well as an older style one years ago at a Halloween game and they really are impressive for the price! Managed to get a hold of several spare mags too. Colin Allen and Rogerborg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RostokMcSpoons Posted Friday at 13:15 Share Posted Friday at 13:15 Well, I had to drag that image out of the history folder, for old time's sake Got me seriously interested in one of those as I enjoyed playing at The Fireplace. And I've always fancied a pump action just for the giggles. Available in black https://bbguns4less.co.uk/products/double-eagle-m58b-tactical-airsoft-shotgun-in-black.html And with a stock (which I'm perhaps more tempted by): https://bbguns4less.co.uk/products/double-eagle-m58a-tactical-bb-shotgun-m500-in-black.html Are the tri-shot versions equally as impressive, or is the single-shot the one to go for? (I am on hiatus again though, after returning from a lengthy layoff due to bad knees (and bad finances): I had a friendly-fire blank grenade land next to me in a confined space and I've got a bad case of tinnitus in my left ear. It's easing off a bit after a couple of months, but it's been a bit scary. I can't play airsoft again without some sort of ear pro) ButcherBill and Jacob Wright 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wegalaxy Posted Friday at 14:05 Author Share Posted Friday at 14:05 @RostokMcSpoons. The tri shot ones are alot harder to pull back and not as impressive performance. But if you pump the double eagle single shot 3 times and keep the barrel teetering upwards so the bbs dont fall out you can use it as a multi shot gun.

BenJackson Posted Sunday at 00:00 Share Posted Sunday at 00:00 The OG Maruzen single shot shotguns are the Kings, and were well known for having sniper-like range capabilities out of the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruskitseller Posted Sunday at 07:31 Share Posted Sunday at 07:31 Good to know, what sort of range and accuracy are we talking about here from those who have commented? I may well pick one up, its proof that you don't always need to spend millions to have something decent. I remember having a TM springer pistol that was accurate up to 15 whopping gurt metres like a laser haha! Cheers chaps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogsbody100 Posted Sunday at 09:29 Share Posted Sunday at 09:29 As a guesstimate I was getting good accuracy out to 75-100m on .25’s. On .20’s I also had 310fps which outperforms my M4 🤪 Mad little thing! Impulse and Enid_Puceflange 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get similar range with my Cyma tri-shot which cost me about £60 with extra shells and a molle shell holder from pre-Brexit Taiwangun and I'm constantly amazed at how that performs so well. Some springers are wank, but some really are hidden gems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wegalaxy Posted Sunday at 14:07 Author Share Posted Sunday at 14:07 @ruskitseller With the double eagle spring one I linked using .25s and no hop I am able to hit people 60-70 meters away. Once 80 but that was I believe by chance. ruskitseller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
