Crosman M3/Stinger S34P-any good?

[M_P]

I've always had a hard-on for shotguns-pump-action anythings, really. So, naturally, the Crosman shotty caught my attention. However, I know Crosman has a really bad rap for their gear. Still, for $135 at 007 (I know, it's way cheaper in the States, but...hey, it's the price we pay), it looks like a half-decent way to start, at least for someone who's already into shotguns.

Anyways, since it's TM-compatible, I can just put in actual TM parts if/when the parts wear out, and add on any TM M3 accessories? (I've been looking for a site that actually carries the TM M3, or any other shotguns, but no love-I haven't been able to get age verified yet, so no love on the B/S/T yet either)

You will have to get verified to buy from 007 anyways...

And they sell a quite good one a WALMART.

In AS, shotguns are more sniper rifles than shotguns...

They often shoot more accurate and further than AEGs.

Only exception is the gas powered, multi bb ones (fire from 4 to 10 bbs per shot). Then you get a decent scatter.

If you go to a game try and shoot one. The 3 round scatter is very effective. A lot of guys with m3's do very well. you could also just order a clear one from the states for about 60 bucks. I think pyramidairsoft carries them.

It's been 5 years I play AS on a regular basis... the best shotgun I was sofar is the Tanaka shell ejecting one...

TM's M3 are way to "sniperish" for a shotgun... Most of the time they are more acurate than an AEG.

I don't like shotguns, but if I had to get one, other than the walmart one I already have, it would be a modified TM (cutting the barrels about to about 3") or one with 10bb/shell...running 6-7.

If you have a shotgun that shoots multiple BBs at once, like the Crosman, load it with mixed weight BBs, like .2, .25 and .3. They'll give you a really good spread and take away that "sniper" edge...

Where can I find those? I've heard of the, but never found one, not in Canada at any rate. I'd rather have one of those, personally, but still I like the versatility that the M3s would offer (I can get accuracy and scatter out of it)
