M8872 Shotgun V2 (Green Gas Powered) - Black [Golden Eagle]

The Golden Eagle 8880 gas-powered airsoft shotgun is a compact replica inspired by the M870 shotgun design, powered by Green Gas and intended for dynamic close-range airsoft games, particularly CQB. The replica combines a pump-action mechanism with the ability to fire 3 or 6 BBs simultaneously, an aluminum M-LOCK pump grip with a factory-installed finger stop, and three 6.01 mm inner barrels, allowing convenient handling in confined spaces.

Construction and Build

The Golden Eagle 8880 is a gas-powered M870-style airsoft shotgun measuring ~470 mm in length and weighing 1910 g. Its shortened design with a pistol grip makes the replica easier to maneuver during CQB games.

The replica features a metal receiver with an individual serial number located on the upper receiver and a metal outer barrel with a diameter of 22.9 mm. Its construction combines metal, aluminum, and polymer components and is based on the TM standard used in gas-powered shotguns of this type.

The aluminum pump grip features an M-LOCK mounting system, allowing the installation of compatible accessories such as tactical flashlights and foregrips. A factory-installed finger stop at the front helps prevent the support hand from sliding forward during pumping.

A top RIS rail with 10 mounting slots is positioned on the upper receiver, allowing the installation of a compatible red dot sight.

Gas Power and Pump-Action Mechanism

The Golden Eagle 8880 shotgun uses Green Gas and a manually operated pump-action mechanism that replicates the handling of an M870-style pump-action shotgun.

After each shot, the pump grip must be pulled fully rearward and then pushed forward to prepare the mechanism for the next shot.

The gas-powered system reduces the force required to cycle the action compared to spring-powered designs, making repeated pumping easier during dynamic gameplay.

3 or 6 BB Firing System

The replica's mechanism allows users to select between firing 3 or 6 BBs simultaneously with a single trigger pull.

The firing mode selector is located beneath the mock ejection port. Pulling the pump grip fully rearward provides access to the selector, allowing the number of BBs fired per shot to be changed without disassembling the replica.

The selectable firing modes allow users to adjust the number of BBs fired according to the type of gameplay and their individual preferences.

Inner Barrels and Hop-Up System

The Golden Eagle 8880 uses three dedicated aluminum inner barrels, each with a 6.01 mm diameter and a length of 150 mm.

The replica features a fixed hop-up system with a polymer hop-up chamber and dedicated hop-up buckings. This system applies backspin to the BBs during firing, helping stabilize their flight trajectory.

Shot Shell Magazines and Loading System

The replica uses spring-loaded shot shell magazines made of ABS plastic, designed to resemble shotgun shells. Each magazine holds 30 airsoft BBs.

The magazine compartment is accessed by pressing a button located at the front of the trigger guard. This releases the loading port cover, allowing a shot shell magazine to be inserted into the replica.

The set includes three 30-round shot shell magazines and a BB speedloader to facilitate loading.

Ergonomics and Sights

The replica's compact construction and contoured pistol grip make the shotgun easier to handle indoors, in narrow passages, and during dynamic CQB games.

A sling attachment point is positioned near the pistol grip, allowing the installation of a tactical sling.

The replica features iron sights consisting of a front sight and rear sight with green fiber-optic elements. These help users align the sights quickly under available lighting conditions.

A cross-bolt safety is located at the rear of the trigger guard, allowing the trigger mechanism to be secured against accidental firing.
