In a review of the Elite Force Tri-shot airsoft, Andrew of 4UAD Smart Airsoft initially expresses his dislike for the gun's external design but appreciates its semi-auto system. He then performs a DIY customization, replacing parts and spray painting the gun to improve its look. A performance test at a field shows a stable muzzle velocity and good accuracy at around 30 meters, with a single CO2 cartridge lasting for about 50-60 shots. In the end, he says that while the external design could be better, the shotgun is a fun and effective gun that he recommends.
