A very nice looking shotgun and I like the 6.5# weight of the gun, but I'll wait and see if they can get the trigger a little liter. Great video as usual my friend.

New air shotgun
- Thread starter Cheplicki
- Start date
Have a Crosman 1100 and a mod Hatsan 130QE. 8mm smoothbore. Both shoot at 600fps. Super fun and effective at ten yards.

They are if you can find them but about every 1-3 shots the rear rim breaks off. Just tested today.

Reading some of this thread makes me wonder why a standard .410 or 28 gauge shotshell wouldn't work. Reloading would be a breeze since they would match the PB's normally used.
I'm thinking that the base could be modified with a larger primer pocket (or maybe it doesn't need it?) to allow a probe with an O-Ring for sealing against the brass, to push into the wad and shot, providing the air to enter as though it was a primer (PB).
With that in mind, wads and crimping the opening could be used just as if it were still a PB'er. Plus a .410 normally uses .5 ounces of shot while a 28 gauge uses around .75 ounces of shot.
Maybe I'm missing something, but it seems like it would work great and the hulls are readily available along with wads and shot.

Just when i made them out of resin, then tended to keep liquid in the cavity until it was lifted out and done...a few slits in the walls would alleviate that, i just never did that because i'm still working through the first batch i made...
i use the open cap one, and use a ring of toilet wax to seal the top instead of a snap on cap or something. it can be a little messy...
