What kind of system does it use? Is it spring action like TM shottys? Use TM shells? I can't find info....

Yah, its wierd. Info for this gun is very scarce and when you find it it is in Japanese so whatever it says gets lost in translation as they say. It also doesn't help that Airsoft Global just copied and pasted its description from another sight. But from what I gather it is a shell system but only shoots BB at a time. I cannot verify this, but from another pic I have you can see the front of the gun's barrel as well as the inner barrel and I don't think you can see Marui's signature tri-barrel system.

EDIT: found the link with the pictures:

Judging from the picture I would say that its single shot only.

Google Translation from First Factory website states:

It takes a magazine that holds 29 rounds. and looks like this:

Spring. Pump Action... Unlike the real semitauto M4 ;(

First Factory Website also states this weird tidbit:



So it may fire multiple shots per pump. Blame Google for bad info if not ;P

Thanks Orca, that sounds interesting if it does indeed shoot more than one BB per shot. Maybe even a new shotgun system perhaps? All I know is that I want one.

it shoots one bb per shot. just like CA870 but in new body with marui shell mag system.

boring as it can get unless you are diehard fan of benelli m4.

The BB bullet of 4~5 departure remains behind to this internal.

That will be like the BBs that stay in the loading tube of your AEGs when the mag is "empry", the ones you can shoot by turning the gun upside-down.

eerrrr....



that sounds intressting! i was wondering on how they planned on selling an "automatic" shotgun, wich you have to cock forward to shoot...
But this does sound alot better actually might explain why the magazine has the bb's feeding from the sidewall rather then the top... and the :

I hope someone picks one up and does a review of it. I've always liked the Benelli M4 Super 90/XM1014. I just hope its more than a single shot per pump shot gun like the G&P models. Not exactly the most innovate or useful system to put in a shot gun.

Yeah, but if you think about it, the Maruzen (G&P only take Maruzen guns and build them up with GP parts) shotgun is essentially a spring rifle that can be upgraded to high velocity on par with the VSR.

iirc the M1014 is semi by default, but can be made to be pump, so not entirely unrealistic just a bit less fun

You're thinking of the older M3, the M4 is semi auto only.

eh I heard it could be cycled manually, maybe they meant via bolt.

You have to be able to cycle the action manually or else you would buy one, load it and then have to just put it on a shelf and look at it.
And if pixies made ready in the night you could then fire it but not clear stoppages.

1 BB per shot confirmed. And dummy cocking handle.

ah well, got all excited for a bit, but it looks like this is just another wall adornment...

thankfully they aren't charging horrific prices for it though...

talking about RS not airsoft

Sort of both, the Maruzen 1100 is a semi auto only AS shottie, there is a shotgun of this type on the market already.
However, this new one is spring and if you had to use the cocking handle to cycle the action it would be a total pain.

So it is a single BB, slide action, non shell ejecting replica of a semi auto shotgun with no slide action.

Seems a bit pointless.

Useless piece of rubbish. What a cop-out! Shoulda been a hardcore gas semi-auto beast of a thing, not another one-shot springer.

I expected better from CAW. They've taken a rather nice model and been incredibly lazy and unimaginitive with it. Even Maruzen would've made the thing actually WORK.

total disappointment really. I love the Benelli M4. Shame its pumpy and single shot. I mean at least they could retain TM design with reinforced internals so still shoots 3 rounds pershot, yet upgradable unlike TM, that at least would make a bit more interesting.

Like Crazy Harry said, at least it's cheap.

I hope maruzen makes one with proper gas powered semiauto and mag loaded like defender series. At least it is semiauto and shoots 3 rounds per shot. Even M1100 becomes hell a lot less headache if they ressurect mag loading system.

Man... I was so looking forward to this one. And turns out, they only replicated the Marui shotshell mag system and not the tri-barrel system. Really too bad.

Guess I gotta consider the M3 shorty or Super 90 again...

Hi, everybody is telling ###### on this gun but has someone actually tried it?
Look the ca870...single shot pump action spring. Doesn't look very cool in first time. But it turns out to be a highly(and cheaply) upgradable gun.

My point is: is it possible to turn the m1014 into a good backup sniper?

Talk about a poor replica. Even it it wasn't a pump, the magazine tube is still too damned small!

So does anyone know how it works? I e-mailed WGC but they didn't answer.

Damn, this is a real disappointment.

It uses Marui shotgun shells as magazines, so you get 30 rounds. 1 pump fires only 1 round though. According to the website, the magazine capacity is 29 BBs... I'm assuming it means that it can only fire the 29 out of 30 rounds in the shotgun shell.

It feeds from small black magazines afaik.

I mean how do you cock it? The pump appears to be bared from moving thus I doubt its a push forward and it calls the cocking handle fake so I dont think that's it either.

Oh... a picture on an issue of ARMS magazine seems to show you pump the handguard back towards the receiver... the top of the handguard just slides under the cocking handle...


Well, according to the CAW website, it uses the Marui shell system. It also has the same swing door design on the bottom of the gun as the Marui guns.

IF ITS CHEAP I WOULD LIKE TO TRADE IN IT.

What a bizarre necro-post.

Made even more bizarre by the fact that it doesn't really make any scene...
