shotgun
 

im wondering if i should buy myself a shotgun and im wondering what kind i should buy

If I see you at XT some time, I'll show you my shotty. It's an M3 super-duper 90.
The TM shotties are pretty nice.
The Maruzen ones are also pretty cool...
It's all about personal preference really, if you already know you want a shotgun.

IM going to tell you one thing about shotties... they're impractical for XT... not sure about outdoors... but indoors... very impractical.. unless you have the dough to get like 20 shells with it or something crazy,

THink of it as a springer... that needs shells (for most of them), slow shooting, not too accurate either.

Have you used a shotgun in XT?
The TM ones are very accurate. I use 4 shells in there, and sometimes go and buy another 2- sometimes. The rate of fire on them isn't as high as something automatic, but they fire 3 bbs every shot, making your chance to hit much higher.
The Maruzen gas ones are decent for XT too (though they're old), you do need many shells for them since they spit a shell out each shot (and a shell bag so you don't lose your shells). They fire between 1 and 10 bbs when you fire them though (depends how many you put in the shell ;)), so you can get quite the spread for CQB. The shells for those are supposed to be pretty cheap.
The Maruzen spring ones don't even use shells, they use magazines that are less realistic, but hold 40 bbs. For a springer that's as light and easy to cock as the 870, 40 rounds is great. XT rents these ones; I think they have a working TM tactical launcher also which is like the crappier little brother of the other TM shotguns.

Using a shotgun at XT doesn't put you at great disadvantage if you know how to use it. You're obviously not going to provide suppressing fire like you can with an LMG, but if it's your style a shotgun can be great for XT.
It's probably best for you to rent one and see at XT, though. Like any gun, you should get an idea of what your style is before you buy a gun.

not one for XT just one to shoot my friend in the arse lol

Dude, saying stuff like that is not funny. If you do not plan on buying airsoft for the purpose of playing airsoft, please dont spend your cash. If that was just a joke remember sometimes text does not convey humor well.

If that's true, just go to SIR and waste your money on the Softair "Harballer II".

lol nah im just gonna go to vancouver and get a real something lol

i dont think airsoft is for you man....

Jeez man, 12 gauge slugs hurt. Make sure he's wearing kevlar ass-protection before you shoot him.
