Alpha was not happy with the look of the Tanaka M1897 Trench Gun so made the adjustments to his taste. The shotgun, introduced in WWI as a trench weapon, terrorized the German army with its stopping power. Its flashy action and mechanical sound create an addiction. The firing model gun is completely reproduced in Ver.2, with improved operability, stable ignition power, and slam fire. The parallel double cap gunpowder specification gives a sense of exhilaration and reliability.

Neo035 goes from World War II to World War I, taking a look at the airsoft versio of the Winchester M12 Trench Gun made by CYMA. This is the preferred weapon for close quarters and trench clearing which soldiers during the Great War did a lot.

The Winchester 1897 Shotgun saw action in the Philippine-American War of 1898 and during World War I, it became the preferred weapon for close quarters action in clearing trenches, which were brutal affairs. The model was modified with the addition of a perforated steel heat shield over the barrel to to ensure that the soldier's hand is protected from the hot barrel and a bayonet lug was added to mount an M1917 bayonet. Garand Thumb has a go a this and gives his take on this gun.
