Airsoft Shotguns - the Tough Guys Airsoft Gun

Every airsoft fan has a favourite type of gun. Regardless of your preferences there's a certain attraction to shotguns that appeals to us all - to that dark place inside us. Maybe it's the way they're portrayed in the movies. The shotgun was always shown as being a real tough guys weapon - you needed to get up close and personal to use it. Shotguns were always shown to be cool and airsoft shotguns are no different in that regard.

There's a wide variety of shotguns available to the airsoft fan. Everything from the old reliable double barrelled shotguns to far more current styles. The double barrelled model is often sold in a gas variant model and is one of the very few gas powered airsoft shotguns available on the market today.

Some of the most popular airsoft shotguns are the old pump action style (which are spring powered) and these have the advantage of allowing you to fire bbs in rapid succession. The vast majority of airsoft shotguns are spring powered and tend to be the tactical style - used by the police and military although you can get many other styles and models.

There is also the option of choosing from the full stock or cutaway model of airsoft shotgun. The cutaway models have a pistol type grip and no stock to put against your shoulder. There's an even share of this type of gun available to airsoft fans. What suits you most will depend on the style of shotgun you like and your own personal shooting preferences when it comes to buying your airsoft shotgun.

Despite the fact that many of these guns are spring-powered pump action models they can hold 40 or more rounds. This allows for rapid reloading and for you to get back in the fight quickly. This offers a distinct advantage over an airsoft rifle where you need to cock it from a non-firing position. The shotgun allows you to fire from the hip in a rapid firing pump action style. Airsoft shotguns are probably more suited to close quarters airsoft games - maybe a type of urban combat simulation although they would still be useful in most types of airsoft combat.

So why not try on an airsoft shotgun for size today? You just might like it!

Can anyone give me starter tips on buying a rifle or shotgun?

Types that are afforable/manageable a person of lets say" small stature". I know very little but would like to know more!

For a first rifle, you need to get a .22 LR. Virtually no recoil, very quiet, inexpensive ammunition, and they can be scarily accurate.

IMNSHO, beginners should start with a single shot or manual repeater (bolt-, pump- or lever-action) but since you are an adult, a Ruger 10-22 semi-auto or a Marlin Model 60 semi-auto would not be a poor choice.

Super682003 made a very good suggestion when he suggested an H&R Topper. The only change I'd make is to suggest you get a 20 gauge. If you want a a repeating shotgun, a Mossberg M-500 with a youth stock would be a very good choice.

A couple of people advised that you get a .410 shotgun. I vehemently disagree. The .410 is a tool for an expert, not a beginner. With it's tiny payload, and long shot string, a beginner faces a great challenge learning to wingshoot. The 20 guage throws a much heavier payload, gets more pellets on the target at the same time, the shells cost less than .410 shells, and has little more recoil than a .410. Perhaps I'd be a better shotgunner today if my parents had known enough about guns to get me a 20 gauge rather than a .410 for a first shotgun.

If you opt for a Marlin Model 60 and an H&R Topper in 20 gauge, you can get started for well under $400.00. If you go with a Ruger 10-22 and a Mossberg M-500, you will spend closer to$450.00 -500.00.
