I got this gun free with a spring XM-177, so I really never even looked at it till 2 days later. I was really impressed with it at first. It felt pretty sturdy, looked pretty well, and had a good rate of fire compared to most other springers. It also shot surprisingly strong and accurate with .12g bb's. I was very impressed at first. Then everything changed.
After using the gun for about two weeks, on two weekend around the house battles, the cheapness was revealed. I realized why I got it for free. The gun broke internally while I was pumping it. I didn't realize it was broken, it looked fine, and felt okay until you pumped it. I opened it that night to find the internals, which were all plastic, broken. The spring catch was made of cheap plastic, and it broke off easily. Even the inner barrel was plastic, and it was made of about 3 pieces.
So after hardly two weeks, the gun was completely gone. No point in fixing it, even though it could be done. Too much work for another crappy springer. I just can not believe some stores sell this piece of crap for $80!!! It's bizarre. I really feel sorry for the people who buy that stuff, for that much. The gun probably breaks, and they quit airsoft, and never get back into it again. Just my thought.
From what I understand, the SPAS isn't much different. It is very weak internally, and most sites won't dare offer a warranty. So up until now there isn't any good cheap spring shotguns. I have heard of this new Hardballer II. I'm really looking forward to seeing how that gun does. It retails for the less the $40, so it would be great if it was half as good as people advertise it to be.
Well in conclusion. Don't buy this gun! If you want it for display, or a reason other then shooting it, don't pay more then $15, or just get the Hardballer II. Their retail is about the same.
