DE M1014 shotgun review

Hey guys what's up, today i'll be reviewing my new shotgun. I haven't battle tested it yet, but i have put close to 1,000 test rounds through it.

tomorrow when i hit the matrix field i'll add to my review the combat report.

All right, first things first. This gun is primarily plastic through out. Kind of like cheap JG feeling plastic. a few metal parts include:

trigger
safety
buffer tube
top outer barrel
important internals
front sling mount
shotgun shell trap door

the rest is plastic, including the top rail and iron sights



--



the pump, pistol grip, and buttstock are all coated in nice, high quality rubber for a comfortable feel.

the stock is wobbly out of the box, you'll need a very long hex key to tighten it.
(stick down the buffer tube)
However, the stock can be turned with your cheek to make aiming down corners MUCH easier.

basic statistics:
50.00$
300 FPS with .20's
extremely lightweight (less than 5 pounds)
range up to about 120 feet

accuracy tests:
--

--
with .20's it was all over the place

--

--

with .25's it preformed admirably, even though the shotgun shell jammed after one shot.

(silicone oil fixed this)

All in all, i give this gun a 4/5

The accuracy is relatively good, however the top barrel is the one with the FIXED hop up, and the bb's ALWAYS flies sky high. oh well.

I will be using .23's for a mix of accuracy and range.

PROS:
lightweight
2 of 3 bb's are accurate
decent range (100 feet with .25's)
cheap! only 50$
shells are very cheap (6 for 15$)

CONS:
1 bb always flies up due to hop up
cheap plastic feeling
pump is tough at first to cycle, gets easier after 500 or so shots.
stock has wobble

i have the fullstock one and as a heavy CQB player this weapon should be a standard.
i just kicked the shit outta players last week with mine

Awesome bro!! Any tips you could give me? And does your top barrel have massive hop up too?

And last but not least, what bb weight do you recommend ?

well if u use .25s the curve isnt that bad but it doesnt go as far. ur hand guards got the rubber texture right? use leather palm gloves then pumping it is hella easy. also buy a SHIT ton of shells, if u use it alot i but 20 for 28 bucks plus a scabbard holster for my vest. dont get the small tube looking holster its tooo small the bulky scabbard is more open and the gun goes in and out more smoothly

YO MAN NICE REVIEW GOOD JOB ON IT !!! HOPE YOU WILL DO SOME MORE IN THE FUTURE

Thanks guys! After about 10 games, I got a good feel for how the gun operates.
I was DEFINITELY outranged by just about everybody's AEG, but some sneaky footwork and patience secured me 2 kills those games. One was a very satisfying 3-BB-to-the-face against a flanking sniper.

Anyways, besides being outranged, this gun preformed amazingly with .23 gram bb's.

See you all on the field!
