Brigg Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Personally I'd be fine with it the way it is. If I run a shotgun, it is my primary weapon. So I dont need it to be short in order to carry another weapon at the same time. I rather like the setup that they are releasing as is and I doubt I would want to really change anything on it. It's not even out yet and the poor thing is being made to feel inadequate. Poor, not even released yet, Tokyo Marui shotgun. Whats inadequate about it? It seems as if its going to blow all the other currently available shotguns out of the water. Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 It's not even out yet and the poor thing is being made to feel inadequate. Poor, not even released yet, Tokyo Marui shotgun. Thing is, it's got the Marushin M500 to contend with and with cheaper china clones the price point just goes down as much as $340 for a full metal TM is fair, pricey but fair. I'll wait until someone starts pumping green gas into one and tells of performance. Until then, I still have my Serbu handy. If it can do 90mps on green gas with a 6-shot load and shoot as accurately as the springer tri-shots, then it would really be THE airsoft shotgun. Link to post Share on other sites
blobface Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Why can't they put the gas tank in the loading tube... it's not like it's doing anything there for the tri-shot.. and the added weight would be nice for the lack of a heavy barrel to make up for the weight distribution..

Horsem4n Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 2 things i just noticed people are still missing: TM has announced (reported in the hyperdouraku article) that a pistol grip conversion will be available in august. you can see the selector switch in the pictures, its under the fake bolt when you rack the charging handel back. it looks like a hop adjuster, but its pretty clearly the selector switch.

kenxin Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Not announced. TM said it was being considered but due to the design it was not so easy to change parts. 2 things i just noticed people are still missing: TM has announced (reported in the hyperdouraku article) that a pistol grip conversion will be available in august. you can see the selector switch in the pictures, its under the fake bolt when you rack the charging handel back. it looks like a hop adjuster, but its pretty clearly the selector switch.

ShinSeiki Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Not announced. TM said it was being considered but due to the design it was not so easy to change parts. I say focus on the shotgun first, then figure out the pistol grip. When airsoft manufacturers start to make design compromises like that is when they start spreading themselves too thin... the Ares M200 comes to mind... Link to post Share on other sites
judgeman Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Price point aside, i've been ranting about our world needing one of these for ages. I'ma get me one of these as I ALSO have like 12 tm shells laying about. Link to post Share on other sites
aznriptide859 Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 More vids from Hyperdouraku's page: (weird it's not embedding 0_0) Also not 100% sure but they're starting an anime in July about the TM BOYS lineup...I think lol. Link to post Share on other sites
seagullman Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 does anyone else think the gun sound thing is utterly stupid? :/ Link to post Share on other sites
MarsdenH Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 The gas magazine for the 870 is actually a brilliant idea for the shotgun. That way you don't have to take out a can of gas if you run a shotgun for long periods of time. Have 2-3 extra gas tanks for the quick change ability. Link to post Share on other sites
aznriptide859 Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Also something else noted at Hyperdouraku/seen in the vid: the pump distance on the 870 is not the full length of travel found in other/RS 870's. It seems the distance traveled back is only about 1/2-2/3's the total pump distance. Link to post Share on other sites
Habakure Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Watching that shotgun being fired and the noise it makes, when it's racked. Sheer full on pants explode excitement time. I can not wait, take my money, take it all!!! Link to post Share on other sites
kenxin Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Am I seeing things or did a few of the shots from the shotgun have 1-2 bbs dropping? Link to post Share on other sites
Honzo Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 not liking the gunsound either. We would have to wear a headset the whole game? lol Link to post Share on other sites
aznriptide859 Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Am I seeing things or did a few of the shots from the shotgun have 1-2 bbs dropping? Hyperdouraku mentioned something how the double-hop system wasn't "perfect" or something...when the guy was slam firing, the number of BB's that enter the chambers aren't consistent and can't keep up with the slam firing speed. Maybe that's causing the dropping BB's? Link to post Share on other sites
Philbucknall Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Just watched the video. I want it more than I did a few hours ago now!! I can see a lot of magpul shotgun furniture in my future!! Link to post Share on other sites

blobface Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 I kinda wish the 3/6 option isn't determined by a switch at the shotgun, but by a switch at the shell, so we can pretend it's 00 buck vs bird shot... Link to post Share on other sites
Honzo Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Watched it for the second time. Definitely digging 870 much more. I didnt see any BBs roll out the barrel but i guess im watching it from my handheld. For the 300$ish range with marui quality, superior hop and full metal body? WIN and i remembered i used to strongly consider the marushin shotgun. Guess i'm going to wait on the review (initial impressions) before making my order as always Link to post Share on other sites
QQexDERA Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Is it bad that i've already worked out *exactly* what i'm going to do to one when I get my grubby mitts on it? Damn my inability to leave things as standard Link to post Share on other sites
