The venerable scattergun with the Tanaka touch at RedWolf Airsoft... "The Remington M870 is a U.S-made pump-action shotgun and is a popular gun of choice for Law enforcement agencies for defensive shooting. It is also used by civilians for target shooting, hunting and self-defense. The Vang Comp System (VCS), designed by gunsmith Hans J. Vang, is a set of modifications to shotgun barrels. 

The alterations to the barrel consist of lengthening the forcing cone, back-boring the barrel, and adding compensating ports; which effectively reduces the felt recoil, as well as significantly increasing the accuracy of the real gun.


This Tanaka M870 is an excellent replica of the real one, with metal parts including the main receiver, barrel and magazine tube. Though this thing is considered a toy it operates just like the real thing, bottom-loaded and ejects the spent shells from the side. The pump action makes a very reassuringly solid 'ker-clunk' noise and feels like sweet music to the ears. It comes with a 14 inch Vang Comp Systems barrel.

The Scattergun version includes an extended magazine tube that ups the internal storage capacity to 7 rounds. On the right side of the gun, it features an engraving with the words "Scattergun Technologies". Another feature that is missing in the standard Tanaka M870, that feature on this gun, are the ghost ring sights."
