Want to buy a realistic-looking black airsoft gun (RIF) from onlyBBguns? Because these guns look so real, UK law (the VCRA Act) requires you to have a valid reason, called a "defence," to own one. Essentially, you need to prove you're buying it for airsoft skirmishing (the sport itself), not for any other purpose.
Here's how you can demonstrate your defence to onlyBBguns and buy a black airsoft gun:
Don't have either of those? No problem! You can still buy the airsoft gun. onlyBBguns can paint it in a two-tone colour scheme. This means part of the gun will be sprayed a bright, non-realistic colour. This makes the gun a "non-realistic imitation firearm" and avoids the restrictions of the VCRA Act. Anyone over 18 can legally buy a two-tone airsoft gun.

The Remington M870 is the benchmark for pump-action firepower, and the Medium Length model is specifically designed for the high-speed, demanding environment of Close Quarters Battle (CQB).
The Golden Eagle M870 Tri-Shot Shotgun (M8873 - V2), is a superb airsoft replica that combines uncompromising mechanical realism with an optimized compact length, making it a devastating primary secondary weapon.
This Medium Model features a significantly shorter barrel and receiver than the standard versions, drastically improving maneuverability and handling speed within tight indoor spaces. Despite its reduced size, the core construction remains heavy-duty Full Metal, encompassing the receiver, barrel, and magazine tube.3 This ensures superior durability and provides a realistic, robust weight of approximately $\mathbf{2.5}$ kg. The shotgun is fitted with rugged Black Synthetic Furniture (stock and foregrip), ideal for tactical loadouts where low maintenance and resistance to moisture and impacts are critical. The structural integrity of the metal build guarantees the longevity of the internal firing system.
The functional advantage of the Golden Eagle M870 Tri-Shot Shotgun is its burst firing: it fires Three (3) BBs simultaneously with every pull of the pump action. This high-volume burst instantly maximizes the hit probability and ensures an overwhelming suppressive effect, making it the perfect tool for breaching and clearing.
Powering this system is an integrated Gas System (V2) (gas typically stored in the stock or grip). The V2 system utilizes gas pressure to cycle the bolt and load, resulting in a dramatically lighter, smoother pump-action cycle compared to hard-cocking spring guns.
This reliable gas cycling ensures consistent FPS and a highly responsive operation, enhancing the speed of follow-up shots in rapid CQB engagements. The consistent performance offered by the gas mechanism overcomes the performance limitations of manual spring fatigue.
The Golden Eagle M870 Tri-Shot Shotgun feeds from standard, widely available Airsoft Shotgun Shells (30 BBs per shell), which are stored in the internal reservoir (typically holding 3 shells plus one in the chamber).
This shell-fed system necessitates realistic, tactical reloads, a key feature for immersive Milsim scenarios. The satisfying manual of arms, where the shooter must pump the foregrip after every shot to chamber and fire the three BBs, is the ultimate expression of immersive, high-fidelity airsoft action.
The compact barrel length ensures the shotgun remains nimble, and the robust synthetic pump grip ensures a secure, non-slip purchase, which is crucial during rapid cycling. The combination of realistic materials, rugged construction, and reliable gas power ensures the long-term dependability of the Golden Eagle M870 Tri-Shot Shotgun. This model is the mandatory choice for players who refuse to compromise between operational realism and competitive agility.
