Product Information:
This is the second airsoft shotgun I have ever owned, and man is it fun. This gun is a tri-shot shotgun with 3 separate barrels with the entire construction consisting of mostly plastic with some metal parts, but DO NOT let that discourage you from buying this gun, I love it. The shell hold 30 bbs giving you 10 shots per fill. The plastic is I'm guessing a cheaper but very well put together and made plastic, the construction of it is awesome, and the feel of it just holding it and looking down the sights is kick butt (yes I said kick butt). The shell is put in under the bottom of the gun where you would load the shells with the real deal but is different but I feel smart. The shell is put in using a lever on the right side of the gun which actually opens the bottom where you load the shell, and I feel that's perfect for me but could be difficult if you don't have a gameplan for style of reloading this weapon FAST. This is a pump action gun, so when you pump the shotgun you gotta have some muscle to do this effectively, but it gets easier the more you shoot it and get it down. The grip and the pimp are rubberized though which adds some grip to it and I think feels great if you don't use gloves 24/7. The back hand grip has an extra compartment for holding another shell but refrain from using it if you don't use gloves with a good grip or none at all, if you don't push it in quite as far as you could it could possibly fall out but when it's locked I'm like it should it is very hard to get out at times. The sights, I love the sights but I have yet to find a reason to adjust them because out of the box mine were adjusted for maximum distance, but when I shot at my target I still had to aim up to hit it (this was probably close to 45-50 feet away). The FPS I wish is better but what do you expect for a tri-shot right? If the internal barrels were longer inside I think it would be more accurate and have a longer distance. The spread is good for clearing a room but shooting someone an individual at a distance could prove possibly difficult at times. The stock is great I love it it had I believe 3-4 adjustments and even allows you to take it off entirely but would leave the buffer tube sticking out and look dumb. Trust me, you'll like the stock. The only gripes I have about this gun is the stock as a matter of fact and the lack of distance, even for a CQB gun. I don't use this for CQB but I make it work sometimes for field/CQB play. The stock actually twists to the right alot for locking it in place on the first and closest adjustment, which I will add is meant to do that because it is spring loaded and had a groove you lock the stock into place with which would require you to twist the gun which they meant to have, but I wish the stock turned to the right and not the left BECAUSE I, like I believe most people are, am right handed, and shouldering the gun and trying to utilize this aspect of the gun with shooting is just dumb, having the gun either twisting to the right or even both ways would make it so much easier for times you need to shoot around any corner and even possibly make reloading easier. Some people say "the stock had INCREDIBLE wobble to the left", this is false, it's meant to do that if they inspected and fondled (hehe) their gun more and realized why the gun twists adding the fact it's spring loaded so their shouldn't be any worry about you "accidentally" twisting the gun all of a sudden and missing a shot. The other gripe about the stock is the paint comes off alot when you adjust the stock, but I personally feel it adds "character" to the gun a little bit! I painted over it so you can't hardly notice it but either way the paint will have scratches on it no matter what but feel free to paint over it once in a while because it does help fix the problem a bit. Last thing, the inner barrels I wish we're longer to utilize the barrel length overall for more accuracy. Also, you'll definitely need more shells and possibly another speed loader, the one it comes with works fine and holds I think either 90-120 (it says on the loader itself and has measurements like I know the CYMA speed loader does) you just might want one or 2 when it comes to long games and/or if you like to shoot alot rather than conserve ammo. If your wondering about the orange tip, it's very easy but kind of a nuisance WHEN it's off for one reason, there are 2 pins that are punched through the orange piece and into the barrel itself which leaves two holes on the end of the barrel, but all you have to do once you remove the orange piece is paint the pins black a little and but them back into the 2 holes. the orange piece itself is very easy to get off though. It also has glue (not much at all) and a groove holding the piece on, you only need a screwdriver, something to hit it with, and a hair dryer. All I did was heat the orange tip up with the hair dryer on high for 2 minutes, punched out the pins with the screwdriver, and I preyed the orange tip off with my fingers it was very easy, just remove any glue on the gun and paint any sliver/gray spots on the end and like I said put the pins back in the holes (or even save them with the orange piece just I'm case you don't want to lose ANYTHING) and your good to go, I did this and it just look badass. CQB players I recommend possibly the shorter version of this if you are playing indoors but stick to this kind if its outdoor CQB. The FPS is perfectly legal probably anywhere for either version though. Get this version or the shorter version based on your preferences. I also wouldn't try using the BB's or the sling it comes with but definitely need the speed loader. I prefer using a .20 gram BB for maximum distance with this gun. This to me is the coolest tri-shot spring powered airsoft shotgun on the market that I have ever seen, and to top off my experience, my girlfriend got me this for Christmas, and I bought her a gas pistol, so we laughed but man was I pumped to have this gun (that was punny)

Pros:
- Great construction (mostly plastic though, still well built.
- Great sights for a shotgun visually
- Awesome stock build (my opinion)
- Very cheap for quality
- Bang for your $$ (ONLY $50!!!)
- Speed loader, shell, and sling in package
- Great color
- Rubberized feel to grip and pump
- Just badass

Cons:
- Distance (different preferences on that)
- Need more shells for playing time
- Don't know if hop up is set or somehow adjustable???
- Light weight (again different preferences on that)
- FPS I wish was a LITTLE higher somewhere around 330-350ish area
- Fairly short inner barrels for overall barrel length
