Matrix 3/6 Burst Firing Multi-Shot Gas Powered Airsoft Shotgun (Model: Special Purpose / Black)

"I recently purchased the HDS black and I must say this gun does not fail to impress. The metal body feels extremely sturdy and the weight is just perfect for someone wanting a more realistic feeling shotgun over the normal plastic guns. However I would not recommend this gun to a child as trying to hold it for extended periods of times could prove a bit difficult for them. When ran through the chrono at my local field it was shooting 340-347 FPS with .20 BBs on the 6 shot setting. I found that this gun was accurate from a 50-75ft range (I play at Gamepod Combatzone which after 50-75ft it gets hard to track BBS as its pretty dark on the field) but anything over that range was pretty hard to hit simply because of the spread of the BBs. The other issue is that it is a extremely tight fit for the gas tank to fit in the stock. If you are not fast enough while putting the gas container in then you are sure to lose some gas and the same can be said for when you push the ejector, you must quickly grab out the gas or risk losing even more gas, however the gas container in my experience holds enough gas for around 35-40 shells, tested this with the 18 shells I have for the gun and I ran two games on only one tank. Honestly after reading an endless amount of reviews warning me not to buy these guns, I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the version I purchased. I have heard that the retractable stock version had some gas leak issues for their reservoirs so I purchased the HDS version to avoid those issues. I would highly recommend this gun to anyone looking for a fun gas shotgun for CQB situations.

"I got my Scattergun when they first hit the market. It came leaking gas where the full stock and receiver meet. After tighting a screw inside the stock i have had no leaking problems at all. My shotgun has been used and abused its still holding up strong. If you get the full stock version be VERY careful with the 2 tabs that hold the rubber butt pad on. They will brake easy. Also with a full charge of gas you will get around 5 to 6 shell before your out of gas. I have to use .28s to keep it shooting straight.

"I just got the tactical version with shell caddie.

I do not have any problem with gas leaking. It works perfectly for me. It only leaked the first three or four times I put gas into it. After three or four times, it stopped leaking.

Shell caddies are so tight that they remove the plastic labels from the shells...

Just after 15-20 times shooting, the forend stuck... I spent four hours to solve this problem. I opened the gun's interior kit, there is the cheap material part that caused the stuck. I took out it from the gun and it works perfectly again but forend is more sensitive now. It lost its hardness to pull but it is okay. Thank god it works nicely enough.

The gun has perfect weight, it feels perfect. I used it outside, it works like a green gas-powered pistol. BBs don't scatter too much in the distance.

"Purchased the Super CQB one. Picture and product description mention a rail is included on top of the receiver, but there is no rail. Otherwise, fun gun to use.

"It broke after one day of game playing I have been trying to fix it for two months and it just has defective parts that I cant seem to find for sale for less than the price of the actual replica.. really fun until it broke though

"Not as efficient as I hoped for it to be.

I haven't fielded it yet, but after plinking and playing around with it, I noticed two distinct issues with this.

First off, and the most noticeable one, is that the rack would lock up, even after shooting. You would have to shake or slap the gun in order for the rack to pump. It happens by complete random, where it may never happen in one shell or lock up after every single shot.
Second, in my model, I could hear a very, very subtle hissing if I put my ear up to the gun, and that hissing was the gas leaking out. Can't say it's a good thing, either.

Overall, it may be cheaper than a Tokyo Marui, but it's cheaper for a reason. If I were you, I'd save up for the quality, or get a CYMA spring shotgun.

"All and all its a decent shotgun but I had some issues that if I had been a new player would have been a problem but I managed to fix it. "The problems will be listed in the cons."


Pros,
- It shoots great
- Solid metal construction
- Great feel

Cons,
- Was missing 2 Orings that I was able to replace but was tricky finding out where they were " Was able to fix"
- The shell ejector got jammed after one game. " was able to fix"
- The pump likes to get stuck. "Can be helped with some silicon oil but not a permanent solution"

This receives this rating because even though the issues were fixable if a new player bought this as his first gun he would be in the weeds and pro service is expensive.

"It was great while it worked. I had this for around 4 months, and for the first 2 it worked great and I was able to get a ton of hits at a cqb field. Unfortunately, however, after a while the pump arms bowed, which prevented me from being able to rack it. Evike's customer service wound up giving me 50% of the products value back despite it's sorry state and being well out of warranty.

"Upon opening this airsoft shotgun (SP / Tan model), I was preparing to test fire it and was disappointed to find that the gas tube in the stock had a leak in the back. The gun wouldn't hold any green gas for longer than ~5 seconds. I looked at the manual and saw that other models of this gun have their gas storage units in different places, so it's possible that this was just a fluke of the model I bought or maybe just the specific one that I received, regardless, after returning it I definitely don't intend on purchasing another. Props to Evike for refunding me full price for the gun and the extra shells I bought for it at least.
