Shotguns remain a staple in our arsenals and despite their century old designs they still play a very important role in modern Close Quarter Battle (CQB) situations. Firing powerful and destructive rounds that drops everything from doors to enemies they are inexpensive, uncomplicated, and effective at close ranges. In airsoft those principles still remain true offering players those advantages with some different perks as well. Airsoft shotguns come in different varieties that include realistic shell loading types that fire from a mock shotgun shell to generous magazine fed types that carry more rounds per reload to even multi-barreled versions that fire a spread of BB's in a buckshot fashion.
