M8878 Shotgun (Green Gas Powered) - Black [Golden Eagle]

M8878 Shotgun (Green Gas Powered) [Golden Eagle] is a lot of fun in affordable package. Feels very solid and like a good quality product especially for it’s price. This short version is perfect for CQB games. The switch betwen 3 & 6 bbs is very small and it is a bit tricky to use but it works. 3 bbs a shot is quite accurate and the 6 bbs a shot spread wider but is great for short distance indoors games. It has a rear sight which is useless without the front one :) Just point and shoot.

Love this shotty compact great fun to use M8788 had a minor leak when I got it sorted it by taking apart the stock and spraying o rings with silicone oil, left for 24hrs then reassembled tightened up now no leak just great fun, no one likes being hit by it on my local field you can see fear in their eyes when facing it down, again a great compact sturdy back up.

This airsoft shotgun is great fun to play with, especially if you HPA tap it and run it with a M4 adapter for insane ammo capacity.

Used it for 2 games now and played both of them with a big smile on my face. Although it is a shotgun, it has great range and grouping (hitting opponents up to 30 meters is easy).

[HU] Üdv!
Nem rég vásároltam a replikát, épületharcra kiváló elsődleges fegyver. A shotshell megoldást egy adapterrel váltottam ki, így M4 tárakkal üzemel a nagyobb tárkapacitás miatt. Egy adapter segítségével tracert tudtam rögzíteni a felső cső első részére így sötét helyeken is látszik a lövésirány. A tetején kicsinek találom a railt, egy holo irányzékot helyeztem hátulra, de előre nem fért rá már egy lámpa. Az alsó cső üreges, így ide tudsz rejteni egy shellt. A válltámasz része kimondott ergonomikus kialakítású és tetszik hogy állítható. A jövőben tervezem átalakítani a fegyvert sűrített levegős rendszere, így költséghatékonyabbá és üzembiztossá téve a fegyvert. Szűk helyeken is elférsz vele és ha ajtón kell vele behatolni mobilis a kis méretei miatt.

[ENG] Hello!
I bought this replica not long ago, for primary usage indoor/cqb. Changed the shotshell to an adapter so I can use M4 rifle magazines now for a bigger capacity. Help of an adapter I succesfully attached a tracer unit to the upper barrel front, so in darker areas clearly visible the shots. I think a bit undersized the rail at the upperside, I attached a holosight to the back but a gunlight can't attach to it's front.
The gun underbarell is hollow, you can hide a shotshell there. The stock is ergonomic and I like that it is adjustable. In the future I plan to modify the gun to HPA (highpressure air) system for a cheaper and reliable gun.
You can move with the gun in tight places, also if you need to breach a door it has improved mobility by it's small size.

This shotgun is honestly amazing. It's TM compatible, amazing performance, build quality at this price point literally can't be beat. It's also very gas efficient. About 75% fill, I was able to shoot 90 pumps before needing to refill with green gas. Soon it'll be HPA tapped with an adapter. My only gripe is that mine came with a cosmetic defect ( a dent at the top of the barrel), but it doesnt affect performance and only pertains to me.

The Golden Eagle M8878 is a great little gas shotgun! The ergonomics of the replica feel very nice in your hands, especially the mlok pump! I really like how easy it is to hpa tap this replica as well. All you need to do is swap the original fill valve for an hpa tap with the correct thread pitch and your golden!(pun intended)I would recommend using .25 bbs, they seem to fly really straight with good distance. All in all I would say it's great for cqb games or if your room clearing. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants a gas shotgun!

I bought this shotgun mainly to try something different after years of bolt action rifles/aegs/dmrs and for that it is great! I can not comment on gas efficiency because I tapped mine for hpa instantly after receiving it. Happy to report there were no leaks on the gun after reading some troubling reports about earlier batches.

Build is solid, almost everything is metal and there was no wobble or play in parts. I would like to point out that the m-lok pump is so shallow in height attaching anything to it requires shortening of the attachements bolts for m-lok. Attaching foregrips with out knowing this might end in having the bolts dig into the "magazine tube" locking the pump from moving. Dont ask how I know, lets just say I needed to strip the gun down before ever shooting it purely out of my own stupidity. Be aware.

Only fielded the gun once so far and it happened to be the coldest day thus far this year (-19c) which obviously had its effect on every gun on the field. Having my regulator at 110psi, so roughly greengas pressure, it chronoed at 1.1j which is more than plenty for something off this nature where the ranges it is used at are short.

Range wasnt fantastic but I'm sure part of the blame was on the cold. Most aegs had their batteries die almost instanly and HPA guns had nozzles frozen solid and had to be warmed even to fuction at all so I cant expect ideal hopup performance either. Happy to give it another go this weekend as it should be alot warmer.

All in all I can recomend this line of shotguns for anyone looking for something different for CQB or just to have some fun. This vs the TM 870 line is a no brainer for me atleast. Nearly identical performance and good externals for 1/3 of the price!
Wouldn't recomend as a first or only gun though, since even though my gun did not leak o-rings etc need mainatence for the gun to stay reliable.

This gas shotgun is really good especially for the price! Very enjoyable to shoot, racks smooth and shoots far enough further than any shotgun I have used before. The small size also makes it really easy to maneuver. Much better build quality than expected with a nice weight to it.
Overall a good and fun replica!
