OptimusPrime

Ekaterinburg (Yekaterinburg) is really the hotspot for airsoft in Russian with big events, airsoft sites, reviewers coming from the area, and now they have shops now aiming to release airsoft guns. Here is a video by Lancaster Airsoft Russia of a Russian-made Shell-Ejecting Airsoft Remington 870 Shotgun... "If you have never hear of there is a small custom shop called Uralskaya Kuznitsa in the city of Ekaterinburg - they develop and build to order some interesting stuff including full steel Minigun and airsoft mortar launchers.

Now they are working on another shotgun on the market, but it could be very interesting though barely legal in some coutries (but we all remember TAG 40mm grenades disscussion and enormous preoccupation among airsoft community - today TAGs are available worldwide).

Some bulletpoints defined by the developer. The shotgun should:

  • Withstand doors and windows breaching with no harm to functionality
  • Be operational after being dropped into water, mud or snow
  • Be operational after - 30'C cooldown
  • Have RS lifetime
  • Work with any type of gas (CO2, HPA) with maximum pressure of 900-1000psi
  • Shoot multiple bbs on 30-40 meters max
  • Have adjustable power
  • Use RS type tube magazine and shells extraction
  • Use RS 12 Gauge shells with no modifications. 1 shot-1 shell. No blasting-cap, no gunpowder
  • No technical capability to fire real round
  • Gas reservoir in the buttstock charged through quick-disconnect adapter from CO2 fire extinguisher or another gas tank
  • Keep enough gas to shoot 40-60 shots (classic buttstock)
  • Be made of steel, real wood/plastic
  • Have blued or phosphating finish
  • Have feasibility to instal later developed tactical stocks and pistol grips

In Russia it will be most probably certified as a paintball device due to max.14J limit (3J for airsoft afaik).

First batch will be 50 units. Release - 2015. Initialy planned price - 25K Rub."
