ASG or DE SPAS-12?

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.

They were priced about the same until a new batch in late 2023/early 2024 from DE came in much cheaper.
