Hi everyone and welcome to this presentation of the STF12 shotgun under official FABARM license from BO Manufacture
This spring model exists in 3 different length versions and in 2 colors each time: black and Tan
The model that I present to you here in video is the 18 inches with TAN color
The bb gun comes in a simple polystyrene packaging covered with a simple cardboard box
On this one, we find mainly the visuals of the different versions of the bb gun, the Fabarm logo reminding that thios one is officially licensed and the usual warning messages regarding the practice of airsoft
Inside, under a protection plastic film, we find a generic user manual about spring type shotguns in French which describes the basic operations for this type of bb gun
A BB loader
A bag of bbs
2 shells with different colors
A set of sights
The STF12 Fabarm bb gun
And finally, a cleaning rod
The only metal parts of this STF12 are the outer barrel made of anodized metal and the shells ejection hatch
All the remaining of the body is made of thick ABS that exudes strength
The pump, the pistol grip, the sling attachs and the top rail are also made of plastic
The stock ends with a rubber coating
1 sling attach is present at the front of the bb gun and a second one at the back, they are present only on the left side
The markings are realistic since the bb gun is realized under official Fabarm licensing
Most of these are engraved except the serial number
A false ejection hatch is also represented in the form of a specific engraving
On the top and bottom of the stock will be noted the strong separation of the 2 plastic parts that compose it
regarding moldings markings, they are very light on the trigger guard and the pump
The pistol grip has engraved patterns
A standard RIS rail is present on the entire upper length and a second smaller one, on the pump to fix, for example, a front grip
The stock of this STF12 is fixed and ends with a rubber pad for better support and comfort
Regarding firing safety, it is traditional, a 2 positions push button behind the trigger, allows to activate or deactivate the blocking of the shot, of course when we see the red, we can shoot
On the side of the trigger guard, it is the lever of opening of the hatch to place the shell that we will find, to do so, it is enough to pull it backwards and the opening is done perfectly
We just have to insert the shell in the right direction and close
The shells will not always fall alone and sometimes it will be necessary to help them
The aiming sights are classic and plastic made but they have the merit of being present unlike other shotgun bb guns
The rear aiming element can even be adjusted in height using a dedicated screw
Otherwise each aiming sight unit has a different piece of optical fiber to facilitate the aim
Last but not least, we can remove and reinstall them easily with a simple screw
The screw at the end of the rail is completely dummy
Good surprise with this STF12 Fabarm from BO manufacture, 2 shells are delivered as standard: 1 red and 1 black
They all have a very good finish with painted markings
These have a capacity of 30 bbs allowing 10 shots since this STF12 fires 3 bbs at a time
Note that this bb gun is also compatible with ASG shells, for example
As you can see, out of the box, the pump is very hard to arm
I assure you, it improves a little with the time and we get used to it
But we are not helped, to my taste, by the too smooth appearance of the plastic and the lack of relief on this one, a pity that it does not offer a rubber coating for example
Fun detail during my in game test, the bb gun I have is so impressive that I was very often "gun out", so it acts as a shield of ooportunity
This series of shots illustrates one of the problems of this bb gun: its range
Even if it is a bb gun for CQB, do not expect to easily reach your target beyond 15m, here the player is at 20 meters and all my bbs fall before and when I get up to comvent, I touch the low tree branches
During my shooting tests, I noticed that the ideal distance before losing in precision is 10 meters
But during my shooting exchanges, I was surprised by the handling of the bb gun regarding its size that allowed me to make beautiful fast shots
To conclude, this STF12 Fabarm from BO Manufacture turns out to be a quite correct spring shotgun
It has a very nice finish for my taste externally compared to its price
The content of the accessories in standard is also very appreciable
The only negative point is for me the problem of range but if you play in CQB games, this problem will be less felt and this type of bb gun is anyway more for this use
You may also have problems pumping and work on this part could have been improved but it is not dramatic.
