MadBull Airsoft: Turn a Shotgun into an Airsoft Gun
Taiwan company MadBull Airsoft have developed a conversion kit to convert any non-semi auto shotgun (pump, single shot, double barrel) into an airsoft gun. The kit includes a barrel insert and special 12 gauge rounds. The rounds of loaded with standard 6mm plastic BBs and charged with C02 gas.
The barrel insert does not appear to allow regular 12 gauge cartridges to be chambered, preventing the accidental mixing of training and live ammunition.
This product will likely be a lot cheaper to buy and operate than other shotgun training systems.
I can’t wait to try this system out.

I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

read about halfway through the comments, anyways to everyone saying its a bad idea , you do realise people have to still buy the shotgun as a shotgun and go through all the paperwork and not have a previous mental condition, and i see airsoft guns as guns, but bordering on adult toys, but never a toy, as a toy is something i'd let a child play with near my new television hypochondriac child and whatnot
and when the atf stopped those airsoft m4 lowers from coming in when you can still buy actual aluminum ar15 lowers without firing groups machined over the internet and it doesnt count as a firearm, it sounds alot like a publicity stunt. and to everyone saying the airsoft ones were a danger of blowing up, the locking lugs are on the upper, most of the force of the blast is spent there, and the rest is only a little over what it takes to compress the buffer spring. btw theres a whole thread , with pictures of the entire process of building a ar15 lower from pinewood on weaponeer.net, and the wood he used being one of the softest,largest grain wood available think if he used a hardwood
Could work well for law enf/mil training (prob what is was geared towards) but put in the hands of the masses a bad idea.
