Choosing a Golden Eagle Shotgun

All of the M870-style models share the same pump-action operation, so the choice mostly comes down to size and handling:

  • M8876 Shorty: the most compact option, easy to manoeuvre in buildings and tight CQB spaces.
  • M8871 Tactical: fitted with a pistol grip for a more modern, tactical feel.
  • M8873 and M8872 V2: longer variants for players who prefer a fuller-length shotgun.
  • AT8701T: a lever action for something different, finished in tan.

Running a Gas Shotgun

Gas shotguns load BBs into shells and draw their power from green gas. Keep a few spare shells loaded so you can reload quickly during a game, and fill them before you get to the site. Like all gas replicas, performance drops a little in very cold weather, so keeping your shells warm in a pocket can help. Store shells with a small amount of gas in them to help keep the seals healthy.

Support Weapon Tips

The 6671 is an electric replica, so you'll need a suitable battery and charger. Browse our 7.4v LiPo batteries and battery chargers, and check the product page for battery fitting details before you order. A bipod can also make a support gun easier to use from cover, and a sling helps with carrying it between positions.

Browse all airsoft shotguns and shotgun shells, and pick up airsoft gas to keep your shotgun running.

A valid UKARA or other defence is needed to buy a realistic imitation firearm. If you don't have one, we can two-tone your gun in a bright colour free of charge.
