THE HUDSON DOUBLE BARREL SHOTGUN
(pictured below)
Specs Length: 81 cms / 31 7/8" (muzzle to butt)
Barrel: 40.6 cm / 16" (open)
Weight: 1.6 kg (approx)
Materials: heavyweight abs and metal parts.
Grip: Wood stocks
Comments This is a nice shotgun this one …but ! ……. I don’t know :s ….. to me it seems too small …. And too light ! If the barrel had been a metal one it would’ve improved the weight and problem solved ! still we have to remember we’re dealing with model guns here and open metal barrels aren’t going to happen !
Loading Loading is idiot proof !
Take 2 of Hudson’s 12 gauge shotgun carts and put 3 5mm caps face up in the end ….. open the barrel and slide in the rounds and your done
Firing This particular shotgun has 2 triggers ( 1 per barrel obviously ) .. now…. fire at will
Here as I’ve mention before is were the MARUSHIN P.F.C caps again win over the M.G caps not for the sparks (which you don’t get despite this being an open barrel gun :s )
No it’s the bang !
Loaded with M.G caps and pull the trigger and it goes ‘pop’ ..load with MARUSHIN P.F.C caps and you get ‘BANG !!!’ and its damn loud !
Cleaning Striping down this gun is similar to the Winchester:)
2 screws allow you to remove the stock. Next 3 screws let you open up the housing of the trigger / hammer mechanism.
Now the trigger / hammer mechanism isn’t complicated …. But can be fiddley to remove / put back as its 2 triggers !
as always its best to refer to the instructions or to make note of how the parts of the hammer & trigger fit back together.
Next …… unscrew and remove the fore grip from the barrel (which you’ve probably already removed at this point).
Now you can clean and oil the gun using whatever cleaning solution / oil you prefer. (i recommend marks cleaning technique of hot water, baking soda & vinegar)
Then once we are cleaned and oiled .... put it all back together ....and that’s that !
Over all With the exception of the weight / size issue that I previously mentioned this is a nice (and loud) shotgun
Its easy to load……easy to fire…easy to maintain and a good looking gun. But the weight does knock points off …… there are ‘possibly’ other models of double barrel shotguns which address this issue I’m none to sure ! ….. but we do have to remember that we are dealing with model guns rather than real ones.
I suppose seeing as this is an open barrel …you could possibly add some weights into the barrel to get the effect …..but that’s entirely upto you…..and im not really that bothered when alls said and done

Of course, you can use less caps than 3 
If you can get "stick on" lead wheel weights, you could adhere them to the underside of the barrels under the forarm for added weight.(or even inside of the barrels on the bottom part) Nice review!
