G&G ESG B-10 2.0 Gas Airsoft Shotgun Table Top Review
In this Table Top Review, we’re taking a detailed look at the G&G ESG B-10 2.0 Gas Airsoft Shotgun. This is a very unique Airsoft platform, as it’s fully gas powered—no spring, no AEG system, and no blowback. Just straight gas operation.
Gas-powered Airsoft shotguns are fairly rare, and this one stands out even more because it’s essentially a semi-automatic gas shotgun capable of firing five or ten BBs per trigger pull. That makes it a serious close-quarters option and something I’m genuinely excited to field test.
As always, this is a Table Top Review only. A full Shooting / Field Test Video will be coming later, where we’ll see how it performs in real-world use.
Links to purchase this product in Canada and the US will be included in the video description.

In the Box:
G&G ESG B-10 2.0 Gas Airsoft Shotgun
105-round AR-style mid-cap magazine
Product brochure
(Manual not present in this package, but typically included or available online)
The shotgun comes packaged in a large box with a sleeve that differentiates the 2.0 version from the original B-10.
Design & Layout:
The ESG B-10 2.0 uses a bullpup layout, which keeps the overall length short while still allowing for a reasonably long inner barrel. Despite its compact size, the gun feels very solid and heavy, likely due to its internal gas system and metal components.
Notable design features include:
Picatinny rails on the top and both sides
Ambidextrous selector switch for 5- or 10-shot bursts
Ambidextrous magazine release
QD sling mounts front and rear
Non-orange flash hider
Polymer butt plate with internal gas reservoir
Because of the low rail height relative to the grip, you’ll almost certainly want to install some form of optic or sight to get a usable sight picture.
Controls & Operation:
The selector switch serves as both the safety and burst selector, allowing you to choose between five or ten BBs per trigger pull. It’s ambidextrous and easy to reach from either side.
One thing worth noting is how the selector cycles internally. There can be a one-shot delay when switching between modes, meaning the first pull after switching may still fire the previous burst count before changing over.
The trigger is double-action only, as there’s no blowback system. While heavier than a single-action trigger, it’s not excessive—especially considering the amount of ammunition being fired with each pull.
Magazine Compatibility:
The ESG B-10 2.0 uses standard AR/M4-style Airsoft magazines, including mid-caps and high-caps. It ships with a 105-round mid-cap, but you can easily use other compatible magazines from your collection.
The magazine locks in securely but does require a firm push to seat properly.
Gas System:
The gas reservoir is housed in the stock and holds a substantial amount of gas. Based on initial handling and other reviewers feedback, you should be able to fire multiple magazines before needing to refill, despite the high BB output per shot.
This is something we’ll fully confirm in the upcoming field test.
Pros:
Unique gas-powered semi-auto shotgun design
Fires 5 or 10 BBs per trigger pull
Strong metal construction with excellent weight and balance
Compact bullpup layout for close-quarters use
Compatible with standard AR/M4 Airsoft magazines
Efficient gas system despite high BB output
Multiple rail options for optics, lasers, and accessories
Sling-ready with front and rear QD mounts
No orange tip, preserving realistic appearance
High-quality G&G build at a reasonable price point
Cons:
A sight or optic is essentially mandatory for proper aiming
Double-action trigger is heavier than single-action designs
Higher price compared to common AR-style AEGs
No hop-up adjustment (typical for Airsoft shotguns)
Final Thoughts:
The G&G ESG B-10 2.0 Gas Airsoft Shotgun is a standout platform in the Airsoft world. Its ability to fire massive bursts of BBs with each trigger pull makes it an ideal close-quarters and room-clearing tool, while the bullpup design keeps it compact and maneuverable.
If you’re looking for something different from the usual AEG rifles, this gas shotgun offers a lot of fun, solid performance potential, and serious intimidation factor.
A full shooting and field test video is coming soon.
