Matrix Tactical M-LOK Spring Powered Airsoft Tri-Shot Shotgun (Model: S-XI / Black)

"I went with the S-II. This thing is very compact, and has a very nice effective range for how small it is. It hops .28 no problem. I likely would've gone with the longer full stock model if I planned to use this as a primary, it is fairly hard to rack the slide without a stock, and especially with the undecorated pump grip, which has little finger grooves not pictured btw (very nice). I put a Strike Industries Link Curved Foregrip on it and it made it much easier to rack and handle. This is probably the best line of spring shotguns on the market, and the S-II is the smallest I've been able to find.

"Great gun all metal and real wood great weight but not to heavy named mine smoke since that’s what it does for the price I might get another invade mine gos on me

"got the S-lll a couple days ago and have fielded it once and so far not as bad as I thought it'll be. I had a jag shotty before and never really stuck with me I liked it but I something more long lasting. So I got on this shotty and one note with one barrel it does have a hopup on the top barrel (push it back or toward the stock so BBs don't just roll out) this shotgun still does shoot three BBs. and something weird was the pump locked up which was odd I dissasembled it and fixed it by accidentily getting rid of the pump lock but after that no problems.

pros
-pretty good range (shoots pretty damn straight for a shotgun which is a plus for me)
-smooth pump feeling
-takes any standard marui shell (recommend the jag clear shells and the cyma shells for smooth loading)

cons
-for younger players do need some form of strength (not a con depending on how strong you are)
-the pump lock was intresting happened to a friend so be weary but can be fixed


I've had a lot of time with shotguns in airsoft and so far this seems like a pretty good shotgun espiecally for CQB

"I bought the OD green S-II since I wanted a small spring CQB backup in case all batteries died at the end of the day or I wanted to spontaneously play. Looks just like in pictures, maybe the green is a little more saturated in person but one of the only guns I’ve owned to do OD green well. Served that purpose well, barrel is super short, grip is almost big in comparison.

Almost all metal and little wobble. Grip isn’t metal but is on there good, no wobble like I had with a wood accent jag gas shorty. Rails are metal, front grip is metal mlok. Only issue I had there is that because of how it attaches to the pump action (via five Allen screws) you can’t put a front and back hand stop, only one or the other on the bottom of the grip unless you seriously finnagle it. Other than that pump isn’t too bad since it seems like the metal arms and action can take a beating.

Shoots good, fires three, hasn’t misloaded. Only issue is at some fields you’re required to chrono for CQB, but tri shots mess with the chrono. With past GE shotguns there was a three barrel and piston system, so load a single bb in a shell and it’ll Chrono accurately. With this shotgun there is only one barrel and I assume one piston, so load one bb and it’ll shoot hot, higher than CQB, presumably because there’s now the pressure designed to shoot three bbs behind just a single one. Thus chronoing out of CQB, which is really its only niche. Luckily the field op was able to eyeball that it firing 3 normally was much slower than the single bb Chrono and let it slide. But still, something to think about- hopefully this new system has some advantage over the old.

Other than that, the trigger is VERY stiff. Like, a ten pound trigger pull sometimes. Maybe it’ll loosen up, maybe it’s the safety, maybe a defect but I just really pull on it knowing it’s tough and can make it work. It’d be unacceptable on a sniper but on a cqb shotgun- eh.

Overall the quality is comparable to the price for a spring shotty. Works as intended if the trigger and Chrono isn't an issue. Giving it four stars despite those issues since there’s nothing like it in terms of compactness and rail customization

"Just Received this item it seems to be pretty good quality I notice minor things that could be better ( given that this is a 200 dollar springer )
1. The charging handle is a bit wobbly
2. You have to be kind of strong to rack it back

Other than that, no issues that I've seen i will be fielding it in a couple of days

"Howdy. I wanted to review this gun in case you feel like you got a lemon, and when you pump it, the BBs fall out the barrel. I dang near soiled myself thinking "OH NO, NOT AGAIN" as the last shotgun I got was legitimately a lemon... And the one before that, too. Well, according to "evike", the hopup is fixed. However, BBs falling out of the barrel is a common issue for guns with hopup set to "no", as there's no resistance on the way out of the barrel. Apparently, mine (and possibly, others) default to this purely sabotage setting, and yes, the hop up is technically adjustable. Just in front of the top rail, you'll see a tiny lightswitch looking thing. Barely big enough to be flicked with the tip of a pen. Flip it back, towards you, and it should engage the hop-up. You're welcome. Set it "away" from you and give it to a friend to sabotage them when you square off against each other, I guess, but otherwise this is a real "y tho" moment.

Oh yeah, and shotgun does its job pretty okay. Compact, accurate, acceptable FPS, tri-shot and feeding worked reliably for me, and relatively easy to pump for a tri shot spring shotgun. Cheers.

"Ok I just wanna say wow. Nice quality shorty really stubby for cqb. The only thing is that is a little pricey lol. But its worth it because when you pull the gun it sound realistic!!! First impression was like wow! Great gun 👍
