Woh, your WASP 870?
Yeh, you see, it just costs 298!
Well, I am sure my AKA is better than you
Look at this texture
feel this surface finish...
Hell what, you mean poor guys do not deserve to play gel balls?
Ok, Don’t you dare have a competition with me?
Come on, man!
who cares?
My call 3, 2, 1!
Three ~ two ~ one!
Play Gels ~
Everyone might still remember
WASP studio gave out their gel shotgun based on Nerf last year
And today, this two-plastic-pieces gun looks a little bit cheap laboured and low priced
However, it is this set of plastic toy
Initiates a new era of pump-action gel blaster
Soon later XM1014 from UDL and 870 from AKA were coming
For me I just totally surrender to shell ejecting toy-guns
and this time from WASP
the mini version of Remington Model 870
I can’t wait to jerk it off once I got it
Compare to the first generation’s box which has nothing outside
Tiny progressing for WASP we can see its WASP logo eventually
Inside the box is a plastic lining
small patch as a gift
Sweetie ~
Then is this mini version Remington 870
and four shells out of the box
Amazingly
More shells inside the blaster!
4 more in the tube magazine, 1 in the barrel
9 beautiful decent shells in total!
That is unbelievable!
This WASP gel shotgun is the replica of mini version Remington Model 870
Piston body, end of the mag tube, and the trigger guard
are purple as a tip colour
it’s kinda magic colour feeling
64cm in length Pretty compact for a shotgun
Whole weight’s less than 860g
feels puny in hands
The receiver is made in one piece the surface polishing isn’t very nice
Even the main part is made by nylon
but the poor lacquer paint job gives a strong sense of cheap goods
Inside the ejecting window
a purple nylon bolt with an aluminum alloy extractor
A groove on the bolt
might be a track for the bolt action
which is different from the real gun
Pull the bolt back, you can see the metal ejector inside
to make sure its durability and effectiveness
Under the ejecting window the latest logo “Colonel WASP” is there
Two metal nails are used to assemble the receiver and the trigger
The size of the pins are not the same as the real gun
and the positions also changed
It might because of the internal design
Under the receiver the metal shell-lifter acts fluently
original aluminum oxide colour on the surface
no further polishing work
the trigger guard is also made in one piece
Press the safety button to lock the trigger
Slide release catch on the left is dummy which is not functioning
and is not connected to the slide
Left of the receiver just an 870 MAGNUM inscription
which means the original of this replica is using 12 gauge Magnum cartridge
Due to the mini version this 870 doesn’t have a regular stock
instead, just a spindle grip
it looks like… oh no…. you know that
A little hole on the button
you can see the spring through it
which illustrates that a part of the cylinder is inside the grip
The piston should be powerful
There is a long metal sod inside the gap under the grip
The rod will go up when pulling the trigger
It should be designed for holding the piston
However, this gap changes the feeling when holding the grip
A little bit uncomfortable when holding it hard
The shell chamber covers about 5cm of the barrel
assembled with the receiver by a screw
The barrel and the tubular magazine are both aluminum alloy, which is a nice quality at this price level
Nylon charging handguard like AKA
linked with two metal rods from both sides
the size is a bit smaller than AKA
but the material is fully qualified
Feels fantastic to charge it hard
The barrel and the tubular mag are stabilized by a plastic holder
and there is an anus-like ring stabilizer at the end of the barrel
to help the inner barrel stuck in the anus (outer barrel actually….)
The free shells out of the box, 19.5mm diameter
similar size as the tri-shot shell of 1014
but this one is shorter
Only one hole for gels feeding and the hole shrinks at the butt of the shell
This blaster is structured by different parts
the barrel, mag tube and most of the core parts are made by aluminum alloy
each part connected in strong and tight
Nice quality at this reasonable price
The tiny body is very good for playing in hands
Charging the handguard the bolt pushed back by the linked rods
the extractor grabs the shell and pull back hard
then the shell ejects
The shell-lifter goes down first
to let the shell in the mag tube goes onto the lifter
At the same time, when the bolt slides back
the shell-lifter bounces up to push the shell into the barrel
The cylinder is designed at the back which maximizes the full action of pumping
Compare to AKA which is just a half-way pumping
WASP 870 is much more real like a shotgun
4+1 rounds feed system
Smooth edges of the feeding nozzle give a perfect smooth reloading experience
No friction when reloading
No further polishing needed Nicely operating with 2-round even 4-round quick-reload
The whole system works smoothly and fluently
and the ejecting function is stable
Eject hard baby! Can’t feel better anymore
Another advantage of the huge cylinder is the powerful gas
Over 80m/s in a single shot
which is incredibly high for a shell ejecting toy
That is brutally strong!
But the shell is a bit rough
sometimes may break the gels
so polish it by yourself will be better
You will notice, from the first shell-ejecting toy made by WASP
their purpose of design is not to pursue a decent appearance simulation
and never spend too many budgets on outer shaping
Their only goal is for great entertaining
For a better internal improvement
the outer appearance of the gun could be compromised
And that is why WASP
could always have some creative structural designs
This type of mini version Remington 870
cannot say it as a revolutionary design
But it is definitely better than most types of the pump-action blaster in the market
Its stable internal structure
is even better than AKA
Its 298RMB price (around 50USD)
Decent nylon body core parts made by metal
and smooth fluent shell ejecting demonstrate a perfect blaster with a reasonable price
Me, as a zealot of the shell ejecting toy
I have NO reason to say NO to this baby
