How many of you folks reading this want an airsoft sniper? Well look no further, this is the gun for you. Don't laugh. This gun is more accurate than some of my pellet guns. And it's twice as powerful as most of my pistols. The pump action is realistic, at least to an acceptable degree. I personally own two of the real Remington 870 shotguns in 12 gauge and 20 gauge, and the UTG Everblast CQB Shotgun-M87LA is great practice for them. They're not loud, so don't worry about the neighbors complaining.

One thing the gun lacked was iron sights, so I mounted a Simmons 4x scope that I took off my deer shotgun, and ever since then I can shoot the tabs off of cans from twenty yards away. Literally. And consistently. That also gives you a hint as to the power of this gun. I was hit by ricochet from fifteen yards away, and it left a bruise on my arm for about two weeks. Take this into an airsoft war and you will win if you know how to use guns properly. One problem is loading the last two rounds into the chamber. To do this you must tilt the gun upside-down. I don't know why, and I assume that it can somehow be fixed, but I have two of these shotguns, and both of them do that. I can't figure out how to work the high-capacity magazine it comes with, but I think that's just me. Hop-Up is adjustable, which is a definite plus for those long range shots. One thing I like doing is holding down the trigger and pumping, otherwise known as rapid fire.

In the end this is the shotgun to get. It's accurate, it supports rapid fire, and it won't cost you more than $40 if you buy it at the right place.
