Airsoft Shotguns - Good, Bad or Stupid?

[shiftsup]

I'd love to get my hands on a Tanaka shotgun like this one:

At TTAC, Brian rents out a single shot shotty, little CQB number. Fires one shot per pump, has a magazine (only one :P) and has no stock. While not the most realistic, it really makes you want to hit that first shot. It doesn't really matter what anyone else is using, shotties are great in CQB. I know that some people have complained that outdoors, they don't always have the power needed for people to feel their hits so well, but for indoor, it's basically like a single action pistol. Just make sure your first shot hits, that's all.

Used the same shotty after I picked it up off of Brian during an indoor zombie game, and it was also amazing for that purpose. A bunch of zombies were coming down on us in a hallway at CQB Tactical, and it was the funnest thing ever to mow down zombies desperately, pumping rounds into zombie after zombie, after zombie.

what do you guys think about the walther sg9000 tri shot single barrel, uses 88g c02. it has no mag but holds 30 bb's right in the gun itself. reviews online are few but good, there is a black version and a clear version.

a coat of flat black wouldnt hurt.

Just picked up a UTG M3L. Very nice and very comfortable with the full stock.

Some reviews say to use the .20 others say to use the .25. Just wondering what the community would suggest.

Also, I picked up the Molle holder for it that goes on the back of my vest. Now I can carry it as a back-up alongside my primary AEG.

The different weights means the fixed hopups of each barrel will have different effects on each BB, giving you a wider spread. This gives you a far more "shotgun" effect at CQB ranges. This, however, tends to be less effective if using the shotty at longer ranges. .........

Ive use a cheap shotty indoors, works great people made fun of it til I started marking my kills with it by using a marker to put a notch on it, I stopped notching it after 8 kills. I picked up a m1014 triburst while I was in New York and its first weekend of shooting I got 4 kills, against guys with aegs. What makes me laugh is that i shoot the same ammo as aegs but when people see a big ass shotty it scares them.

My favorite shotty, and I ran it for a year; hard, is the Crossman S32P. It's a clearsoft Marui clone you can buy at Canadian Tire for around $120 now, comes with two shells. Fires 3 rounds at a time, one shell holds 10 shots (30 rounds).

It's -perfect- for indoors. with .2's you -will- hit a man sized target at 70 feet. With .28's, you'll fire a fist shaped cone.

I've had lot of very successful game with a shotgun.
