One of my longest held wetdreams of airsoft is a shotgun with some balls to back up the look.

I've had the M3 Super 90 and currently have the SPAS 12 with (rare and ridiculously expensive but oh so necessary) folding stock. I love the models but yes as others have been saying, there's just something missing without that audible expression of how big your cock is after the trigger is pulled. Racking them is nice; but you can tell you're pulling a spring, and it sounds a bit plasticy.

The TM "mechboxs" are shit just waiting to happen too. Why they insist on using plastic and/or shitacular metal for highly stressed internal parts.... When they aren't even making a killing of replacements anyway, is just....annoying.

Upon ripping these things open I've imagined a GBB drop-in of sorts....not that I currently have any way in hell of bringing one to life. Both guns do have a nice empty shell tube. A storage unit of many sorts could fit right in there, which I think would be the way to go. The pistol grips are too..loaded, and cheesy, and would require drilling.

One thing about the TM I praise is the practicality with ammo. 10 x 3 shots....not bad in terms of shot count. The shell type magazine at least gets you in the realm of playing around with shotgun shells. Not ejecting spent ones is pretty well the only economic way to go without carrying a sack. This combined with a gas system would give maximum awesomeness for maximum gaming practicality.

I dunno. A "drop-in gasbox" and magazine tube-stored tank?
