Korean Gunster compares two popular airsoft versions: the APS CAM870 and the Golden Eagle M870.

It offers high realism and authentic materials but comes with a price tag that might make your wallet weep.
Explosive Enterprises features the Tokyo Marui M870 gas shotgun which is akin to an expensive kitchen gadget you bought with high hopes: it looks the part and has some neat tricks, but using it daily reveals some quirks. On paper, it offers a choice between firing three or six BBs at once, utilizing a convenient gas tank hidden in the stock. While it feels solid enough, the balance is a little unusual, and the plastic furniture reminds you that it isn't quite a real-steel firearm.
Suzuki checks the Golden Eagle M870 CO2 gas shotgun for its performance and consistency in a shooting range test. The CO2 system allows for stable firing in cold weather (around 16°C), providing over 100 shots per cartridge after an initial 20-shot break-in period. The reviewer found that heavier 0.28g BBs worked best for the 3-shot mode due to the strong hop-up effect.
