This Airsoft Shotgun is a Gas-Powered 1:1 scale replica of the M870 V2 (M8873 - V2) short tri-shot shotgun.

This airsoft replica is manufactured by Golden Eagle, and constructed almost entirely from Metal (Alloy).

All external components are made from alloy except the Pistol Grip and Pump Handle, which are both made from a durable, high-density Polymer.

The Golden Eagle M870 Breacher Shotgun is a tri-barrel design which is based on the real steel M870, and can fire either three or six BBs with each shot, depending on what you set it to. By pulling back the Pump Handle, you can see inside the "breach" where a small switch will let you select 3 or 6 Shot Mode.

As previously mentioned, this airsoft shotgun is powered by gas and uses standard Airsoft Shotgun Shells. This weapon comes with three shells included, however you can also purchase spare shells here.

We have tested the Golden M870 Shotgun using Nuprol Shotgun Shells and can confirm that it accepts generic spring shotgun shells. The shells are loaded either by hand or using a Speedloader, and have a capacity of 30 rounds. One shell is then inserted into the Shotgun by pressing the release lever near the Trigger to open the Breach Cover and pressing the shell into the slot until it clicks and locks in place. To change the shell you simply press the breach cover release again to drop the shell out.

The front of the Golden Eagle M870 Gas Shotgun features a Brass Bead Sight to help you acquire your target, but this can be easily replaced by a slip-on Low Light Ironsight set if you prefer. There's even a standard 20mm Picatinny rail, should you want to attach a sight or other accessories.

Another feature worth mentioning is the front shell holder, which is accessed by unscrewing the front cap of the faux magazine tube, allowing you to store two extra shells inside the shotgun. A Trigger-Lock safety sits near the trigger, and is easily accessed from either side of the Shotgun. This will block the trigger off and super-effective in preventing the shotgun from firing accidentally. Finally, the top of the pistol grip features an integrated sling loop for the attachment of a one point sling.

In conclusion, if you are looking for a realistic shotgun to enhance your style of gameplay or even if you just really want a Gas Shotgun but don't like the Tokyo Marui £300 price tag, then the Golden Eagle, gas-powered M870 is exactly what you need.

To buy an airsoft weapon in the UK you must have a valid airsoft defence.

This is not a licence, it is basically just proof that you intend to buy an airsoft weapon for use in airsoft.

An airsoft defence could be a UKARA or membership with the British Airsoft Club, and various other forms of defence.

You can only obtain an airsoft defence once you are over the age of 18.

To get an airsoft defence the law is that you should play at least 3 games of airsoft, and that you must have been playing for at least two months.

You can still buy an airsoft gun without a defence, provided you are 18 or older. If you choose to do this we would, by law, two tone (paint in a bright colour) parts of your chosen weapon. This is because an airsoft gun is considered a RIF aka Realistic Imitation Firearm, because they are so close to the real steel, whereas when you paint parts of it in a bright colour it becomes an IF aka Imitation Firearm. The reason being that the bright colours make it look less realistic to the public, and therefor less likely to be mistaken as real, were it to be used for any other purpose than airsoft.

When you order a gun from us you will need to add your defence details in the comments section of the cart. If you do not have a defence you will need to write the colour that you wish to be used for two toning your airsoft weapon.

Here is what's stated in the VCRA (Violent Crime Reduction) Act:

For airsoft skirmishing, the Association of British Airsoft is putting in place arrangements to allow retailers to check that individual purchasers are members of a genuine skirmishing club or site. The key elements of these arrangements are:
1. new players must play at least 3 (three) times in a period of not less than two months before being offered membership
2. membership cards with a photograph and recognised format will be issued for production to retailers
3. A central database will be set up for retailers to cross-check a purchaser’s details
4. member’s entry on the database will be deleted if unused for 12 months.
The defence for airsoft skirmishing can apply to individual players because their purchase of realistic imitation firearms for this purpose is considered part of the “holding” of a skirmishing event.
