When you think of shotguns, something like this is always the first image to come to mind. An iconic silhouette with a decorated history, being seen all around the world since its production first began back in 1951. This popularity has carried over to the world of Airsoft and has become a CQB skirmisher's best friend. Nothing quite beats the rush of running around close quarters and vanquishing foes with spreads of BBs as soon as they turn the corner. The multi-BB pump action shots mean even if you can't aim, there's still a chance that the shotgun spread will result in a hit!

This shotgun may look like a previous product, but that's because it's actually the Gen. 2 version of the Golden Eagle Type 870 M8872. This new version looks almost identical except the gas port at the rear of the stock has changed due to issues with a leaky detachable gas tank and unreliable o-rings. The version 2 shotgun has scrapped the removable gas tank and instead installed a fixed gas tank within the stock that can be filled up through the rubber butt plate.

Treat yourself to some CQB satisfaction with the Golden Eagle Type 870 M8872 Railed Gas Shotgun V2 and enjoy the satisfaction of pump action mixed with a 3-shot spread

This AEP is manufactured by CYMA and licenced by Salient Arms through EMG, and boasts full metal construction and a pre-installed MOSFET to give it an impressive trigger response and rate of fire. 

While the slide doesn't cycle, this AEP is no slouch, being equipped with most of the ergonomic upgrades that make the Gas Blowback SAI BLU such a pleasure to shoot and a highly visible red light-enhancing front iron sight paired with an anti-glare rear sight for fast target acquisition.

If you're sick to death of M4/AR-15 AEGs, who can blame you? The Novritsch SSR77 A2 AUG AEG is a breath of fresh air, based on the old-school-cool AUG design with modern attachment interfaces and pre-upgraded internals throughout, ideal for the skirmisher who wants a unique primary platform with performance to match the latest M4 AEGs to hit the market.

On the outside, the SSR77 A2 is dressed to impress, boasting a unique CNC aluminium M-LOK handguard, reduced profile upper 20mm Picatinny rail and a pair of QD sling sockets on each side, ready to be decked out like the most cutting edge M4s. Inside, things are even more impressive! This is one of the first AUG replicas to hit the market with a programmable MOSFET pre-installed, meaning SSR77 owners can join the SSR4, UTR45 and Gate TITAN owners enjoying burst mode, binary trigger and several levels of pre-cocking adjustment.

If you're into revolvers and seeking an affordable way to fill your holster, the HFC HG-132B Python 4" NBB Gas Revolver is ideal. This green gas-powered non-blowback revolver is inspired by the real steel Colt Python and works just like the real thing, with a rotating cylinder, removable shells and a functional double action/single action trigger. This is the chrome-finished model, denoted with a "C" suffix and rocking a mirror-shiny chrome finish which makes it stand out next to boring black pistols.

Being a revolver, the HG-132C will be a challenge to use in-game, and its lack of a HOP-up and relatively low FPS mean it is definitely more suitable for CQB than taking out targets at long range. Being constructed primarily from high-density polymer with an alloy outer barrel makes the HG-132C nice and light, leaning into its role as a last-ditch skirmish backup. If you have revolver fever and love a platform with style but don't want to shell out (tehee) too much, the HFC HG-132C Python 4" NBB Gas Revolver is the wheelgun for you!
