I decided to plung into the shotgun world of Airsoft. Now The difference between the TSD and DE is that the TSD comes with 3 more shells. If you were to buy the DE you have to buy more shells which ends up costing more then the TSD.
I bought it for 75$ from ASGI i also included some other items so i got free shipping then used the coupon MEU to get 10% off and still was able to do freeshipping.
Anyway now to the review
The Box was really beatup when i pulled it out of the wrapping it was in.

Taking over the top of the box you get the generic white cover that i didn't notice held a cleaning rod till i picked it up again

With that off you get greated with the gun, 2 shells (the other 2 are under these), UTG Speed loader, A Sling, An Allen wrench, Unknown amount of BB's.

The shells are constructed out of plastic. I'm not going to go into the Nylon,ABS plastic bullshit, it's plastic alright end of story. On it has this wrapping which im not bothering to remove so i don't know if the text is on that or the shell. Has
3x10 round shot which makes it sound like it fires 3 shots of 10 bb's each but its the other way around.

The spring inside of these shells doesn't seem to be very secured or the nub isn't secured well. They still all work perfectly though

Now the extras
BB's - Assuming that these are .20 TSD BB's. I can't tell theres no labeling on them or anything. But i assume that they would use there own BB production line with their rebrands. Not sure don't care ain't gonna touch them to find out. I spotted dirt on some of the BB's not sure if ASGI used them to test the gun or something and he had dirt on his hands.
Sling - Chinese sling, looks a bit better then the other ones but still i wouldn't use it.
Speed Loader - It's a UTG Brand speedloader, unlike that JG Bar10 speed loader i got the lever doesn't get jammed or stuck. Works perfectly like my other UTG speedloader i bought from Hotspotairsoft
Allen Wrench - Take the cheek rest mount off the gun is all i can figure out it's used for right now. Fixed hop.

The 4 Shell holder mounts onto the adjustable stock on the gun using two velcro straps. I thought it would fall off easily but they work just fine and hold it tight into place.

The Gun it's self makes a plesent look to it. Looks like all full metal right? Wrong. Most of this sucker is plastic. Only a few main parts that should be metal are metal.
[IMG]http://i452.photobucket.com/albums/qq247/cubemanpro/TSD%20M1014/IMG_0280.jpg[/IMG]
The rails on the gun seem to be plastic, I can't really tell feeling it makes it seem like plastic but it has this metal look to it.
[IMG]http://i452.photobucket.com/albums/qq247/cubemanpro/TSD%20M1014/IMG_0281.jpg[/IMG]
The pump is plastic. Has a rubberized feel to it, kinda like the bar10. You pull it over the receiver since this gun isn't semi auto like the real thing.
[b]Alot of people ask how hard is the "pull", If you pull from the furthest point of the pump you get extra leverage, Pulling it from the middle makes it a tiny bit harder. If you mess up you could cause a jam.[/b]

Both the Outer barrel and the shell tube are both metal
[IMG]http://i452.photobucket.com/albums/qq247/cubemanpro/TSD%20M1014/IMG_0283.jpg[/IMG]
The shell tube does unscrew on the front

You can be sneaky and hide a shell in there even though the thing is deep.
[IMG]http://i452.photobucket.com/albums/qq247/cubemanpro/TSD%20M1014/IMG_0285.jpg[/IMG]
The Trigger, Trigger guard and safety are all plastic. When the right side of the trigger is in the gun is on safety, When it's out it's ready to fire. There is a red outline when the left circle is out to either mean it's not going to fire or if you push this in it will be ready to fire.
Also you can just see the shell cage release button.

It only will fly down if you have the gun pointed the right way. Tilting it sideways or upside down won't open. It just releases a latch so it can fall. Both the latch release button and the cage are metal.

The pistol grip is plastic, The circle does nothing.

You can be sneaky and hide a shell here

The Stock it's self is plastic. The Part the stock slides on is metal.
[IMG]http://i452.photobucket.com/albums/qq247/cubemanpro/TSD%20M1014/IMG_0292.jpg[/IMG]
In order to adjust the stock you must push the button my thumb is on and twist the stock to the side if it's all the way in as that peice holds onto the gun.
[IMG]http://i452.photobucket.com/albums/qq247/cubemanpro/TSD%20M1014/IMG_0293.jpg[/IMG]
The stock has 4 positions thats including fully closed, The 5th one i can't seem to get without the stock just coming straight off. This is furthest out
[IMG]http://i452.photobucket.com/albums/qq247/cubemanpro/TSD%20M1014/IMG_0294.jpg[/IMG]
The reciever is plastic with a bunch of china mumbo on the side where the bolt would be on the real thing.
[b]The hopup is fixed [/b]

Overall i think this gun is a great shotgun and a great rebrand from TSD, An accuracy test will come soon. Hoping to get this typing done so i can go outside before the sun goes away completely. For 75$ You get a multishot shotgun with 4 shells, All the vital parts are metal and everything else is plastic which is why it's only 75$.

Lots of spelling errors in this, but awesome review otherwise.
Can you only put one shell into the shell tube (as the picture shows)?
Yes only one shell in the tube.
Be careful if you put the shell in the grip. I got one of mine stuck in there during a game and had to wait til I got home to use some pliers to pull it out.
