TM M3 Super 90 Shotgun or Echo 1 ATS?

Well, I've decided I probably won't be getting another AEG for a while, and now I'm looking into shotguns. SO, which do you think I should get?

TM: http://www.trinityairsoft.com/p-76-tokyo-marui-m3-super-90-shotgun-spring-airsoft-gun.aspx

Echo 1: http://www.trinityairsoft.com/p-853-echo1-ats-full-long-shotgun-spring-airsoft-gun.aspx

Get the Echo 1

Well actually stealth, its not that obvious of an answer.

First off, the Echo 1/CAW is cheaper.

Secondly, the TM might not actually last longer, the shotgun has 3 barrels, meaning when you pump the shotgun, you are pulling 3 piston assemblies back. This system is fragile, thus one flawed pump, could result in the gun being broken for good. So I say, get the Echo 1, while it doesn't shoot 3 bbs a shot, at least it is safe, and won't break on you if you pump it wrong.

Hm.........

Good point.

Yeah, I change my opinion, get the E1.

If you like the TM and dont mind waiting a bit UTG is releasing a clone of the super 90 around the end of the month. It looks like a solid gun to overcome the m87 shortcomings, and it will probably be cheaper than the TM. I'm personally going to wait until after xmas to check up on its specific stats and reviews before I buy it but its definately a shotgun I am keeping my eye on since I dont want to pay over 200 for a spring shotgun.

I've actually decided to buy the CAW shotgun, because: 1) Weaker spring so you'll be allowed to use it for CQB (not 400 FPS!) and 2) looks freakin sweet.

But, does anyone know if the trigger on the CAW is metal?
