question about the shells

Generally helps if you actually ask a question so we can answer.

I'm looking into buying a gas powered shotgun, but i haven't been able to find info on what kind of gas they use or how the gas is loaded? do they use 12g CO2 cartridges or do u load the gas into the shells seperately with a regulator? thanks

Internal reservoir run on Green gas/Propane. I suppose you could use duster, but what's the point. Now before you go asking what those are. Try a FAQ or two.

Which shotgun? Most of the shotguns which have single shells and only fire once per shell have each shell loaded with gas.

To procure one, if you're in Canada, you're going to need to get Age Verified as the shotguns cannot be ordered from outside of the country and the shells are mostly prohibited as well.

right on thanks

Out of every gas shotgun I've ever owned, exactly zero (0) of them have used shells.

Only TM springers have used shells, that I've seen.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong here.

yeh afaik the gas shotguns have the internal reservoir alot like the gas revolvers.

Maruzen Shotguns have internal gas resevoir or are spring operated.

Tanaka Works Shotguns store the gas in the shells.

Marushin/ACM Shotguns also have internal resevoir.

Tokyo Marui/Double Eagle/TSD are all springers

that sounds like a major pain in the ass. youd have to have tons of its shells all loaded up in order for it to be worth anything in a skirmish

i like how my tsd spring shotguns work. they run on the shells but each shell holds about 14 shots and have the run & gun feature or whatever its called. i never use those though. i let the halo/gow geeks use them when theyre here

I would love to own a gas shotgun that shoot at least 15 bbs on every trigger pull, a small bb shower with every shot, would be slick.

Ive seen one like that too, but it's only a double barrel shotgun, each shell has 14 shots. Devastating in CQB, also UBER rare in canada.

arent those the ones i see that are sometimes labeled as "mad max shotgun" just cuz its a double barrel sawed off? it could be an evil dead shot gun also
....dumb stuff
ive seen them on ebay a few times before. a cheap looking springer version and the quite expensive gas version which almost look alike

the spring version of course which appears to be utter super crap.

shotgun pictured is "hwashan" shotgun. auction page was for the shells it takes
and this one i found http://www.handhelditems.com/double-...un-p-8411.html

This is more like what I saw.

and thats the same one i just posted but with dark furniture... and an actual page selling it. the seller obviously spelled it wrong.
i knew i thought i saw one on airsplat. i dont like airsplat for some reason even though they sent me a free tsd fullstock shottie

could you imagine carrying two of them in a leg holster on each leg and whipping them both out at the same time and unleashing 4 sprays of bbs in succession?
