A&K 8870 Spring Pump-Action Shotgun

The A&K 8870 is a faithful airsoft take on the Remington 870, the most recognisable pump-action shotgun in the world. It's a manually-cocked spring gun: you rack the pump for each shot, which makes it utterly reliable, battery-free and gas-free, ideal for cold weather and for players who like a deliberate, hands-on way to play.

Construction is where it earns its keep. The 8870 is built largely from metal with a weighty, solid feel that gets close to a real 870, so it shoulders and handles convincingly. That weight is part of the appeal for CQB players who want something with presence rather than a lightweight polymer gun.

As a pump shotgun it shines at close range, where a quick rack-and-fire rhythm and the intimidation factor of a shotgun do a lot of the work. It loads from a high-capacity magazine concealed in the design, so you're not constantly reloading between engagements.

It's a great choice as a CQB primary, a backup for a sniper, or simply a characterful gun to bring something different to your loadout. There's nothing to charge and nothing to gas up: load BBs, rack, and play.

What's on the outside

It carries the classic 870 lines with a pump fore-end, a full stock and metal furniture, with sling-mount points front and rear. The hop-up is adjustable for range and the build is designed to take the knocks of regular skirmish use.

Specifications

Good to know before you buy

Being spring-powered and pump-cocked, it's a single, deliberate shot each rack rather than rapid fire — that's the point of a pump gun. It's about as low-maintenance as airsoft gets.
