Hey guys,
I am going to start playing at an airsoft field near me. They have a 330 FPS limit for their "Castle" or close quarters field. I am going to get this:Double Eagle M3L Multi-Shot Spring Shotgun (Same as UTG) Here is the link:
http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?cPath=139_181&products_id=3797

]My question is how many shells (30 round; 10 shot; 3 at a time) should I get?



thanks

Seriously just get a UTG

And the 1 shell has a 30 rd capacity, and the gun fires 9 bbs at a time. The shell is much like a mag. remember airsoft is a little different.

well, It claims to be the same as UTG, and I know that the shells are like mags and are reuseable, but if I were headed to an all day event, How many of these "shells" should I bring with me?

depends, how fast might it take you to reload one? remember you have about 3-4 shots on one shell alone

I'm not planning to reload a lot (at all if possible), so I plan to buy enough shells for an all day CQB

wel lets see you could buy enough to last one round then reload them or just buy enough for the WHOLE day witch would be sort of steep in price plus you have the ones that come with it

Honestly the TSD is the nicest of them all(has a longer metal barrel). How much ammo do you go through as a rifleman? The most I have seen on someone was 15 shells, which may seem a little too much but that means he was carrying 150 shots(3 each shot) before he had to reload every shell.

IMO a safe number would be 10 shells, its all dependent on shot placement and your accuracy.

Well, this is for my little brother, and he is a little trigger happy tongue , Just thought you should take that into consideration.

P.S. He is getting this for CQB because his vectoer arms AK-74 is shooting too hot (425 fps)

I own the gun, and would suggest not using .12g BBs in it. I will warn you, I am not sure this is worth your purchase. It was a GREAT gun to start with, but about 5 months after purchase, it just let me down. It goes about 12 feet now, and thats the LONGEST. And its SUPPOSED to shoot 3 at a time, but mine loads like 6-8 shots and is just a waste of ammo every 4 shots or so. Maybe I got a lemon, who knows. I would go with Sticks advice, 7-10, judging on your brothers playing style.
