Have barely seen anything on these guns accept the handful of "reviews" on YouTube. But I'd seen enough that I thought I'd try one out. First off the bat if you're considering this as your first Airsoft gun or first shotgun, don't. Go get yourself a CYMA Springer, the style of game play needed to be effective isn't for everyone, especially if you play outdoors like me. If you want one of these you should know what they're all about before you invest.
This shotgun is incredibly well built aside from the stock (more later). The rack is incredibly satisfying, the ability to slam fire is awesome when in a pinch but not recommended (probably cause unnecessary stress). Aesthetically the gun really looks and feels the part. Most of the gun is rock solid.
Performance I was seeing around 240 using 0.28 bb's, which is definitely the weight you want to be using as the fixed hop is dialed is sweetly enough to where at least one sometimes two bb's will stay perfectly true and will hit center mass out to 50m which is insane. Don't get me wrong, you'll get out gunned at mid range all day against all but the worse AEG's (rentals) but so long as you get the drop on them you can pick them off a lot further than you'd think.
As for reliability I can't really testify, had it two months and done one skirmish, a skirmish where my AK went down and was left with just this shotgun and my 1911 for the entire day. I will admit that for the entire day it did not skip a beat. I'd say I've fired around 3k rds through it and not had any problems whatsoever (well almost more later).
Cons: Have to mention it, front sight fell off, like legit the front post fell off. Lucky I still have it but yeah, there's that. Also the stock it comes with is utter crap, feels cheap, rattles like hell, scrap it. This is subjective, I have 3 other rifles with the same style pistol grip and they're all fine, this one however, the middle finger rest sits way to low and digs harshly into my third finger, so I changed that too. Last but not least that god awful orange cap on the end for the US Market is bloody hard to get off.
All little things but given the lack of trigger time to test the reliability and the minor cons that's why it's got 4/5. Had I just been going on looks and performance it would have to be 5/5 all day
