The gun
The special purpose automatic shotgun (12 gauge) is the gun im doing a review on here. I bought the gun because it came in a two pack. The riot(870) shotgun and the spas 12 are what came with it. The two guns were 59.99 at airsoft atlanta.com and they have pretty good deals there but aren't high quality buys for the cheap ones. The gun is all plastic except screws and spring and thats it. The gun is actually quite hefty. The reason for this is the lead that they stuff in the pistol grip and lower barrel....i think in the barrel. The gun is about 30 inches long. The length of the gun can be a disadvantage for moving in the brush and believe me on this one ive got stuck pretty badly. The body and design are very cool looking, but thats all for opinion. The sling mount under the bottom barrel is stationary, so the sling won't be able to move very freely....This reminds me; the sling with this gun is way too small even when fully retracted, unless you like to cheek your shotgun up to your neck. I use my sling on my mac, and i suggest you use it on a smaller gun also. Id give the looks a 8/10.
Quality
The quality of this gun is nothing to boast. The heat guard under the cocking handle will split back and forth if you sqeeze it, and the cocking handle is wobbly too. The all plastic construction on this gun will also lead to the pins breaking and the gun being useless. This happened to the riot in two days to me and ive read in another review on this site that it happened to that person also. The plastic is also not very high quality, although it is relativley thick. The sights are easily aimed and open; the rear is a hole and the front is a wedge/wing whatever you call it. The gun shoots crooked and they hot glued the barrel and many inards on mine. The problem can be fixed by wrapping some electrical tape around the inner barrel. The inner barrel is made out of plastic and is very loose so the bbs will roll out the gun if you cock two or more in the barrel and tilt it forward. id give the quality of the gun a 4/10
Battle Worthy
The gun is a good close quarters weapon, but would get clobbered by one gbb.....hehe, even a deringer i bet. The gun will not beat any marui springer also, due to the higher quality materials. The gun can shoot how ever many bbs can fit in the barrel, so you can get multiple kills with it as long as theyre not below you. The gun is also easy to cock, but not easier than the hardball. The range on the gun is not much further than 30-40 feet, unless you arch it, or know your wind. I would rather use my mac 10. I give this weapons potential a 6/10.
Pros: very cheap, easy to cock, can fire many bbs at once, easy to aim
Cons: top feed machanism, loose barrel lets bbs roll out, flimsy construction, all plastic design, innaccuracy, gets caught easily in brush, no moving parts exept the foregrip.
overall: 4/10
One last thing; Whatup Shante?......sorry i forgot you in the last review.hehe.
