Mike_West Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 I just dug up this thing: http://winchairsoft.com/product.php?id_product=48 https://www.facebook.com/Winchairsoft/photos/a.743760332305904.1073741831.736090783072859/1034809029867698/?type=1 Supposedly, according to the French airsoft shop in question, this is a Korean-made Dong San/KTW springer. Judging from the photograph with internals strewn about, it works similarly to the old cheap-o springer: you have to break it full 90 degrees to cock it. The shop itself posted the news back in March, and I'm surprised that nobody caught that one yet. Link to post Share on other sites

swatti Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 I'd expect a huge price and more of a "functional prop" rather than "useful" There's still a fully working and SKIRMISHABLE double barrel shotgun for those who really want one. Alltho 250 bucks for the gun and 40 bucks per 2 shells is a bit of a ripoff... Goes by the name "Wa Shan" double barrel. 8-9 bbs per shell, gas, decent power. No hopup but can be added easily, also some say Tanaka based shells fit. Link to post Share on other sites
Mike_West Posted July 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 Well, what I've heard about the Wa Shan is that it's a particularly clumsy knockoff of the old Hudson design, and I hardly see it on the market these days. And that you need to mod it to use Tanaka based shells. As for "functional prop", the same could be said of the KTW Winchester. Wonder how long will it take Volante to come up with a gas conversion and shortened barrels. Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 Is it an actual replica of something though or more like those Win Gun revolvers? The grip design is throwing me off and is like nothing I've ever seen. edit: the one in the link labeled as being an Ithaca is also visibly a different design altogether.

jv83 Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 Looks odd, but all these double barrel shotguns popping up on all the threads are making me want one more! Link to post Share on other sites
sandstorm Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 WaShans also have problem with not just potmetal, but more like popcorn metal trigger parts. It just won't hold up for much. Mine's just a (relatively) nice looking prop to carry for third year in row, now... Link to post Share on other sites
swatti Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 I didn't buy my Wa Shan thinking it was gonna last as long as it has. Got few reinforced parts made, waiting till the OEM parts fail. So far I'm using the OEM shells, they are built like a tank when you swap the O-rings. Also I've racked up a nice headcount with my shotty, short trigger-pull, nice spread, decent power... Not that hard to score hits up close. Link to post Share on other sites
ED-SKaR Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 I have a hudson, never fired it because the shells don't hold gas long enough to put bbs into them, let along put the shell into the gun and pull the trigger. I also have wa-shan shells, I got one of them to fire from my hand once (They don't fit in the hudson gun) but I've not managed to recreate that as the o-rings are drier than my humour. But for the KTW thingie that this thread is supposed to be about.... where do the BBs go in? As with any KTW I expect a really nice looking gun built from terrible plastics and with <200fps muzzle energy, Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Magazine tube below the barrel and comes out from the front. Stock, they do about 280fps unless you get the Korean market version which has a drastically cut spring. Link to post Share on other sites

Wonder how long will it take Volante to come up with a gas conversion and shortened barrels. Gas unit for M1873 is now available and i can ship carbine and Randall model as complete gun with gas unit installed. If you meaning gas unit for this double barrel, i'm not sure.. And about this double barrel, there is no information in Korean website and among users. I'm really amazed to see breaking news about Dong San's product in UK forum. Actually it was on KTW website but there is no parts diagram! It looks like its detonator of dummy shell is sort of trigger system. Very interesting system but i don't think it can shoot high fps that many EU and US users want... I just wonder that will it be available in Korean market and its price.

If you meaning gas unit for this double barrel, i'm not sure.. Well, yeah, I meant gas system for this thing here. As a joke, though. And about this double barrel, there is no information in Korean website and among users. I'm really amazed to see breaking news about Dong San's product in UK forum. Actually it was on KTW website but there is no parts diagram! Better yet: the news came from a French shop - they call it KTW, but at the same time they say it's "Korean-made", so I thought of Dong San, as they already made some copies of KTW guns, under license IIRC.
