Shotgun Picture Thread

[Catchv22]

That shotgun is great. I prefer the full stock version.

[evilhippy]

It is miles better, a proper western rifle at last.

 

In fact this is way better than a winchester, (it just feels more solid and it's better for being wider too) and if anyone ever wanted a powerful underlever rifle with realistic shells (even the shells are great - much better than Maruzen ones), damn good power and even a 3-round shottie spread as a bonus, this is the kiddie!!

[Jordan74]

evilhippy, that looks amazing. Thats the marushin 1887 right? I bet it feels really good

[evilhippy]

Yup, it's the Marushin `Guard's Gun` version of the M1887, nice carbine size although to be fair the full length one does look better. Bit impractical for airsoft though as you could well skirmish this - if you were a crack shot, as you need to pick the shells up by hand after ejecting.

 

It is so so sooo cool, even the lady friend likes it It is pretty nicely balanced too and the action of loading etc is spot-on.

 

It's the closest airsoft has yet come to an over-and-under shotgun, which would be my favouritest gun of all time if they made one.

Edit to make a bit more sense: The magazine is integral and runs underneath the barrel as in most shotguns, but like you can see in `Terminator 2` the mag is loaded through the breech, and there is a cradle that you place the shell in that tilts down to reveal the mag, and looks exactly like an over-and-under

 

You load the mag with 4 shells, then you load the 5th into the breech and it looks, mmmm, double barrely

It seems like most of the guns that are impractical for actual playing are some of the coolest

Do you think you could use the 870/1100 shell catch on that if you modded it a little?

[evilhippy]

Never seen the shell catcher for the maruzen guns tbh, I really don't know....

 

Would need someone with more time/skill to do that anyway, but it would be rather cool if it did work!

I thought about it, but feel I'd be wasting the money seeing that I don't need/want the VFC outer barrel and mag tube. I just put an order in at WGC for a Maruzen, seeing that the only three decent retailers that carry them in the US are out of stock. If I can't live with the stock body, I'll pick up the G&P version. Upgraded springs are cheap too.

nice v.arena have you written a review i would like to hear how those fare

[donnie]

Heres my Maverick M88.

 

shoots 4 bbs at once - good range as it has hop up - still to remove orange tip.

 

 

 

 

[Soloman]

How is it fed, mags, shells, gravity?

[donnie]

Its gravity - the bbs are kept in the carry handle. .. works quite well.

Donnie: Really don't like the look of those things, but fair play nonetheless.

Its a MANS gun

[camo_man]

dude (donnie) on the second pic (the one with the storm trooper mask) you have *fruitcage* loads of phone sockets

do you work fo BT or some phone company or do you have 10 computers runing on the skint-a-net

[donnie]

They are all phone lines - I keep my guns at my business premises - got a inquisitive 3 year old at home so cant keep them there.

[camo_man]

that explains it

i thought i was seeing double

[evilhippy]

We're getting closer to answering that "what does donnie do for a living and does it involve suspicious lumpy people-shaped bags" question

 

It may be a man's guns, but it's still gravity fed So there The last gravity fed gun I had was 50p toy in charming luminous green plastic....

what if you are rolling about (i do that alot) or if you are on the moon. no is it effected on what type of stance you are in

[donnie]

you could pump, roll and then pull trigger...

 

Also I dont roll...I sometimes kneel, often lean or bend but never roll.

[Ledpocket]

I'm pretty much done with my rendition of this:

 

 

I think I've finally gotten pretty close.

 

 

 

It's based on a marushin 6mm, the entire front end is custom made.

 

serbu super shorty!
