For those who play airsoft competitively, finding the right AEGs, sidearms and tactical equipment that support your position in a match is crucial to success. Since airsoft guns are fundamentally different from real firearms, the benefits of some real versions of these models don’t exactly translate well to the realm of airsoft.

Take shotguns, for example. Many tactical shotguns are desirable because they have extremely reliable actions and cycling due to their mechanical construction as well as the fact that modern sporting rifles are semi-automatic, whereas most tactical shotguns are still repeaters that must be manually cycled. That basically eliminates jamming, but in addition, these types of tactical arms are useful because of the stopping power and effective pattern they produce.

In airsoft, there’s no real comparable equivalent to stopping power, and even the best airsoft shotguns don’t produce a pattern like the real thing. Therefore you might want to ask yourself, why check out our airsoft shotguns for sale instead of, say, an electric gun (AEG)?

Why an Airsoft Shotgun?

For some people, it’s going to boil down to a matter of preference. There is an immense amount of cool factor involved in some of the airsoft shotguns we offer here at MiR Tactical, models like our Double Eagle M56C Tri-Shot Spring Shotgun with a folding stock and our Airsoft Combat Shotgun. They’re just different from the gas-powered airsoft guns and AEGs everyone else carries and they are fun to shoot.

As to the question of whether or not you can effectively use one of these airsoft shotguns in a match, the answer is maybe. And, depending on what you value in an airsoft gun, some of their benefits may actually carry over.

For example, although these spring airsoft guns do not create the same pattern as some of their real counterparts, both of the above models do load shell magazines, contain three barrels, and fire three projectiles with every discharge. That, coupled with the fact that they are spring powered airsoft guns that need to be manually cocked after every round may make them suitable to some players, especially those who experience a lot of CQB. Hear us out on this matter.

You might actually get a lot of use out of these types of airsoft guns if you are going to come up against a lot of close-quarters scenarios and you have backup, or you yourself are providing the cover. The fact that these airsoft guns produce a tight pattern of three BBs with every shot and can be cycling quickly and reliably is a bonus in those scenarios where every split second counts.

In addition, these two airsoft shotguns for sale are fairly light and very compact; the second model doesn’t even have a stock. Therefore, if you are providing cover for your team, you can be a useful asset to them even if your airsoft shotgun doesn’t have the same rate of fire as their electric powered airsoft replicas. Spring power guns do have their limitations, but in their specific spheres of influence, they can be very useful, just like spring sniper rifles.
