Matrix Full Metal M870 Tactical Tac Shot Airsoft Shotgun by A&K (400 FPS)

"I don't generally write reviews, but I figured I'd add my two cents on this product. I am not the most experienced airsoft player in the world, but I have played for a while now (about 3 years, my main is my full metal SCAR or my H&K UMP45). I enjoy using full metal guns and figured I'd give this a try. First off, it looks and feels amazing, the mag is metal and feeds very nicely. Stock works great and feels good in my hand. That's about where the positives end, unfortunately. Here are my problems with it:

CONS:
The top tactical rail (the only one so you can't mount laser sights) is held on in one middle point, so it wobbles back and forth
The mag is hard to click in all the way, takes some time
Once you cock back the shotgun, nothing is holding the BB in place so it will slide right out the barrel of the gun
And just about 5 minutes ago, after owning the gun for the better half of an hour, the slide is jammed and won't cock back, leaving the shotgun literally useless.
The slide also doesn't have that satisfying click that locks it back and then forth again, it just slides freely, which makes me sad :(

I had high hopes for this gun, and honestly it looks awesome, but it's not very accurate, you can't cock back the slide and run around and shoot when you want as you must shoot immediately after or the BB will fall out, which means you will lose most CQB gunfights as the opponent will shoot first. If it worked properly, I would be in love with it. I have no doubts that I may have just gotten a broken one, but I guess you get what you pay for.....

"Out of the box it looked and felt great. However, it kept jamming the first day I received it. I was fortunate enough to be able to fix it by pulling the trigger every so often. However today (day two), I was zero-ing my sight atop of it and it jams again. However, no matter how I pull the trigger nothing gets it out of the jam. Frustrated I open the gun to find the problem. The piston got stuck along the guide so it just needed realignment. After a few hours of trying to figure out how to assemble the trigger assembly I finally reassembled it and was ready for testing. It fires ONCE and then it jams again. The exact same symptoms occur. I open it only to find a crack piston. I wish evike had a return policy that I could at least get some credit instead of a total loss for the shotgun that barely lasted me 24hrs.

To sum it all up.. DONT BE FOOLED BY ITS APPEARANCE. The internals are horrible and if anything breaks, the parts are pretty close to impossible to find since it's a shotgun and not a standardized gearbox.

To put things in perspective I have been working on airsoft guns for a year and have built complete gearboxes that have yet to hiccup. Trust me when I say, avoid the looks and avoid this shotgun.
