This is one of the coolest shotguns on the plantet. "8mm of destruction" is the only way to describe the feeling when using this weapon. We were unsure at first, but after several days of testing and many objects destroyed .... we are sold. If you are looking for a great gas powered shotgun that really has some power .... grab the M500. It holds alot of BBs (compared to other shotguns), it has a great sound, solid construction, super shock factor and great looks ... this really is an excellent shotgun.
