Unless you get the internal magazine fed shotgun, I would stay away from any gas powered shotguns. The ones where you load bbs into the shells can be lost easily as you cycle the pump to feed the next shell into the chamber. I believe Maruzen discontinued their line of gas powered shotguns...you can still buy them though. You are probably better off with a spring shotgun from Marui.

This is just what I've heard from the net, but most people prefer the TM SPAS 12. I guess it has to do with reliability. You know spring vs gas. But if your curious I'd say go for it. :D

shotguns are quite expensive....like peter said "usually people who has lots of money and owns everything will buy them to finish their collection..." 8)

well they are cheaper than some GBB's and the shells ejecting is ok by me also i really dislike spring shot guns

Gas shotguns are great, the Maruzen series is a great gun, and the shells ejecting with each shot adds to the realism big time. Although these would not do well in a CP enviroment, they would kick ass in a CQB tho, like the prison games. I think TJ has a few Maruzen shotguns up for sale, i can get them for u cheap if he hasnt sold them yet.

Did you find a source for your shotgun and shells yet Wilco?

A classic airsoft gun dealer that i know, his sources gave him a few of these shotguns with a bulk order for free, so hes selling them. I dunno if he has sold them already or not, they were going for pretty cheap.

Let me know if he has any left I might be interested in one.

Nope, some people got to em, he has one left, but he says that he'll probably keep it for himself. I think Den still sells them tho, otherwise there is always the used arms deals.
