Cyma CM357 Short Shotgun (Magpull Style Pump)
The Cyma CM357 is a short pump-action airsoft shotgun fitted with a Magpull-style pump grip. It takes the classic pump-shotgun format and gives it a modern tactical look, with a compact overall size that makes it quick to handle in buildings, vehicles and dense woodland.
Cyma has a long-standing reputation for affordable, dependable replicas, and its shotguns are popular with players who want something different from an AEG. The CM357 is a good fit for close-quarters players and for anyone who enjoys the deliberate rhythm of racking a pump between shots.
Handling and ergonomics
The Magpull-style pump is the standout feature. Its shaped profile gives your support hand a positive grip, so you can rack it firmly and consistently without your hand slipping forward, even with gloves on. A secure, repeatable pump stroke matters on any pump shotgun, because a full stroke on every shot keeps it feeding reliably.
The short barrel keeps the front end light and the overall length compact, which helps when moving through doorways, round corners and over obstacles. Bring it up, fire, rack and move: short shotguns reward an aggressive, mobile style of play.
Using it on the field
Pump shotguns encourage you to make every shot count. Pick your target, fire, rack the pump fully and move to cover before your opponent can respond. Practise reloading by feel, so you can top up without taking your eyes off the play.
The CM357 also makes a useful backup for snipers and support players who want a compact, quick-handling second gun, and a fun change of pace for regular AEG users on CQB days.
Build
Check the product images for the stock, sight and rail layout on this model so you can plan any accessories such as a sling or a compact red dot.
Short shotguns are at their best inside about the distance of a large room or a woodland clearing, so think of the CM357 as a close-range tool. Pair it with a single-point or two-point sling so it hangs ready while you open doors or climb, and keep your spare ammunition where your support hand can find it quickly.

Compatibility
Ammunition and shells or magazines are specific to the shotgun’s feed system, so check that any spares are listed for the Cyma CM357 or the matching Cyma shotgun range before ordering. Use good quality seamless 6mm BBs; 0.20g or 0.25g suit most short shotguns.
Care and maintenance
Rack the pump fully on every shot and never force a jammed action; clear any stuck BB with a cleaning rod with the gun unloaded. Run a cleaning rod and dry patch through the barrel every so often, and use good quality seamless 6mm BBs.
After play, unload the shotgun completely, store it uncocked so internal springs are not left under tension, and wipe it down. Dry it at room temperature if it has been out in the rain.
Avoid petroleum-based oils and solvents; a small amount of silicone oil on moving parts during occasional cleaning keeps the action smooth. Store it in a padded gun bag away from heat and direct sunlight.
Who is it for?
The CM357 is for CQB players who want a short, fast-handling pump shotgun, and for anyone after a compact backup gun with a modern tactical look and a comfortable, positive pump grip.
Please note: Always wear suitable eye and face protection, and check your site’s rules on shotguns and minimum engagement distances before play.
