Simo gives his take on the Marui Saiga 12 SBS gas blowback gun. He had purchased the shotgun used for 39,800 yen and admitted it was the gas blowback he had secretly wanted above all others.

Here is what SK Airsoft says about the Tokyo Marui Saiga 12 SBS, a gas blowback airsoft shotgun based on the short-barreled tactical conversion of the AK-derived Saiga 12. It is a unique model, being the only semi-automatic, triple-shot, magazine-fed gas blowback shotgun available, a replica that took five years to develop. The gun is constructed from a zinc/aluminum alloy, steel, and polymer, weighing about 3.5 kg.
