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

5 out of 5 !
It's beautiful, extremely beautiful and I'm in love with it. Perfectly weight distributed, satisfying to carry, satisfying to shoot. It's already won a spot with my most favorite owned replicas!

It looks and feels the way a shotgun should feel, full metal except for the stock and handguard. Good weight. But beforehand i thought the pump would feel smoother and lighter, ofcourse this isnt a 1:1 of a remington 870 so the action is completely different but i hoped it would pump the same as a real one. It makes the same sound but the pump isnt as forgiving, if you dont pump it completely you get a hickup. Great pattern spread keeps 3 bbs together for at least 15m till they open up more.

Really worth it — great little shotgun. I took it to a game and it convinced me: outdoors it performs superbly. On the 3-BB setting it easily carries and keeps its pattern out to long distances (I was getting hits out to ~40 m) — the BBs don’t immediately scatter in three directions, the group stays surprisingly tight for a tri-shot. I even scored a few distant hits and the psychological effect is real: people visibly panicked when I brought it out, sometimes they wouldn’t even let me squeeze the trigger and just surrendered — the sound from range shakes people up.

Close range the 6-BB setting is insane and still retains punch — brutal for clearing bushes and doorways. One poor guy took three straight to the forehead from about 5 metres (everyone was okay, just bruised and surprised) — so yeah, it’s intimidating. Indoors it’s a bit trickier: the gun is long, so maneuvering through narrow doors and stairwells can be awkward.

A couple of practical notes: the shell ejection is a tad stiff at first but should loosen up with use. One full gas magazine runs roughly five shells (each shell holds ~30 BBs), so bring spare shells and gas for a day out. Overall the build feels solid and the playstyle it enables — a mix of long-range 3-BB “sniper” shots and close-in 6-BB shock tactics — is a lot of fun.

Final take: if you want something that’s both fun and effective (and you don’t mind the extra reloading/gear), this is a fantastic, characterful shotgun to add to your kit. Just make sure everyone uses full face/eye protection and follow the local minimum-distance rules.

Feels solid and is overall a great replica!
I had the first one with a detachable gas magazine, that one had issues with gas leakage and a plastic tab that broke.

I am happy that these issues are removed in this v.2 since it has a built in gas resorvoir instead.

Some gripes I have:
First, the feeding isn't always perfect, not every pump shoots 3 or 6 shots.
Second, sometimes the pump action gets stuck.
And lastly the gas resorvoir seem kind of small, it seems to be enough for about 5-6 shells, about 45 pumps. I believe its less than the first edition.

I'm extremely happy with the replica; I haven't encountered any issues so far. Both the 3-round and 6-round shots are performing flawlessly. I've even used it outdoors, and I have to say that the 0.28g BBs work best for me. For indoor play, especially in larger arenas, I recommend using 0.25g BBs (I typically use 0.20g BBs with my other replicas indoors) due to the fixed hop-up.

Really great Replica for the Price! I've had loads of fun running around with this in my recent games, and it feels super sturdy.
The only negatives I have is that I can hear the spring rattling a bit when the replica is shaken around a bit and that when buying I had the impression that it would come with a removable gas chamber, so I had a mini heart attack when it arrived without. Turns out it just had an internal one.
Overall, super fun replica at a great price!

Good stuff!

Nicely priced shotgun.
Metal and abs parts feel nice, pump action is very smooth. Grouping is also quite nice. On the 6 bb setting, a group of about 30 cm at ~45 meters.

This is the version without the removable gas tank.

Shipping PL to NL was like 4 days, very good.

Only been to one game yet, so I can't speak on long term usage, but so far I'm impressed.
It feels good and sturdy in the hand, even the plastic parts are decent.
The pump mechanism has just a bit of a wobble but nothing serious, and it feels and sounds very satisfying.
Charging with gas feels is simple and the capacity is good.
It is surprisingly accurate, even in the 6 shot mode, the hop-up seems to be adjusted for around .28g bbs, at least on the one I got.
Power is around 1.3-1.5J.
I guess the only complaint is that the "mag release" have to be pressed fairly hard to release the shell, but it might break in with time.
Overall, recommended, very fun, especially in CQB games.

Great overall quality, very fun to shoot and pretty accurate at short distances, the most fun you get shooting 6 shots.
Refilling the gas is pretty easy since the filling valve is placed in the shoulder pad of the stock which makes refilling sery easy.

Absolutely worth the money.
Nice reload movement compared to similar but with spring. The stock can be perceived as abit plastic, But the rest of the rifle feels very robust.
Shoots straight and around 300 fps.
