Airsoft Canada - View Single Post - An idea I would like to propose about an airsoft shotgun.

In fact it would not be that hard to make, both striking the face and filling the shells...

just need to do a rig to fill the shells faster (8rods in front of 8 holes, with o-rings and some kind of reserve for the bb's

as for the strike face... a shell is about the same size as a piston head right... how about having 8 little nubs on the face of the piston. To make sure all caps detonate (or have the chance to detonate), the nubs could be spring loaded, so even if the face and shell are not exactly alligned, it could fire anyways

A shotgun shooting 8 bb's and shell ejecting would be VERY attractive... you will get a better spray than normal shoties. And no need to have the inner barrels really long too.. maybe 5"-6" that way you will get the shotgun effect that lacks most of the currently avalable ones.

It would probably need a lot of cleaning though. Mostly like a RS.. because of the black powder...

the only real problem would be to make the shells... I guess MadMax could make us some....
