Product Information:
I got this shotgun after about 6 days of shipping (which wasn't a problem because i ordered on a Wednesday, and i live in NJ.) Im hoping that it was the manufacturer, because when i opened the box, it had looked like it may have been an open box item (which still, isn't a problem). The instructions were kind of crumpled like it had just been carelessly shoved into the box. Also, the gun has some scuffs on it, but still no prob. But on to the quality of the gun. Its ABS plastic from what i can tell. Feels sturdy tho. Stock and pump have a slight wobble, but noting thats deal breaking, especially for $25 +SH. Cocking the gun gives almost a real feel, but kinda stiff in my opinion. Your gonna need a little muscle if your trying to use it in CQB. Hop up isn't the greatest but it gets the job done for a cheap shottie. The iron sights work, but only if you have the stock retracted about 2-3 notches. Out of the box, the gun is fairly accurate, and it hits like a monster truck, literally went through 2 tin pans and a cardboard box stacked together from about 20-25 ft. Some of the shots did spin off to the right, but nothing earth shattering. Overall I'm impressed with the build of this product, as it resembles the M183-A3 pretty spot on. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a inexpensive backup for your backup, or if your AEG runs out of juice, or if you have a friend on the field who doesn't have a gun but wants in on the action.

Pros:
Decent accuracy for the price range.
Hits hard (350+ FPS)
Solid ABS build
Comes packaged with a 100 rd speed loader
Comes with 4 shells (30 rd cap per shell)

Cons:
Sling is useless, literally.
Shell holder is useless, only looks cool (Get a shell holding buttcuff, or vest with holder)
Shooting running (as the manual calls it) isn't that great (spray and pray?)
Pump action slightly stiff (could be a problem for the physically inept)
Pump handle and stock has slight wobble.
Stock needs to be retracted to effectively use iron sight.
