"I have one of these things, and my god, you cannot find a better spring shotgun anywhere. The plastic parts are good quality, feels basically like a real current production Remington 870, maybe thinner, but feels very similar. Weight is very good, there's a decent amount of steel and the other metal parts feel like aluminum, rather than cheapo pot metal. The pump is pretty easy to use, especially after being worn in some. This gun is great for people just getting into the game, and even after getting good kit, it's always nice having one as a spare in case your primary dies or a friend wants to join you.
The only problems I've had is that the screws holding in the fore end get loose sometimes and may prevent you from pumping all the way, but it's easy enough to fix. I did get one previously that broke immediately, but that was just a lemon, and the second one runs after around 3 years of hard use at CQB fields. One other thing is when you chrono this gun, it seems like some chronos have difficulty with reading it, because of the 3 BBs at once being fired, but most refs will understand this and just let you through, no problem.
Pros: Built like a tank, not gonna break this thing easily.
Pump is fairly easy, especially after breaking it in some.
Feeding is 100% reliable. (Tested with Evike brand shells and the 3 the gun came with)
Shoots hard and shoots accurately.
Great beginner gun, especially if your local field is indoors.
Middling things
First one I got was a lemon, however the second one runs like a top.
Some screws can get a bit loose, but it's easy to fix.
Sometimes fields will have problems chronoing this gun, but usually they'll understand it's a tri-shot spring gun.
Cons: Price is a bit high, I'd say for a spring gun, but still worth it.
Conclusions: Get one, now, I'd recommend the CQB length barrel ones because the longer barrel ones don't give you any extra inner barrel length, just outer.
"Got this shotgun (full stock cqb) as an inexpensive way to get started and have only been impressed so far. With .28’s you can expect accuracy at about 100 feet/30 meters, beyond that the spread gets pretty unpredictable, but it’s plenty for cqb. Got around 8 kills in my first outing. I strongly suggest adding a top rail and a red dot, as you need to make every shot count with this beast.
Pros:
-Durable and dependable
-Simple to use
-Accurate
-Fun as hell. Racking has a satisfying sound and feel. Easy to tell when you score a hit, as your opponent will jump and occasionally cuss you out :)
Cons:
-It does require upper body strength to rack. My kids (10 and 12) can’t do it effectively, so I’d steer clear if you aren’t yet a full-sized human. If you don’t rack it fully it can misfeed, though it has yet to jam on me.
-The shell ejection door required a little filing in order to open smoothly every time, which took about 5 minutes.
I bought this gun based on the reviews and I thought it best to add to the chorus. If you know what to expect from using a shotgun as opposed to an AEG (both the advantages and disadvantages) you can’t go wrong with this one.
