Fabarm STF 12 Short, Black

The FABARM STF12 Short is a gas-powered shotgun replica built on a solid metal body that imitates the real thing down to the smallest detail – including official markings. The short 830 mm length makes it suited to CQB and indoor play, where manoeuvrability and fast handling are decisive, while the pump action gives an authentic handling experience shot by shot.

Pump-action shotguns fill a niche that semi-automatic AEGs and pistols cannot match: the tactile, physical experience of chambering every shot by hand. For players who want a more realistic and involving playing style – or simply a replica that stands out visually and functionally on the field – the STF12 is an obvious choice, with the quality feel of the metal construction backing up its raw, robust look.

Authentic construction and function that make the difference

The STF12 combines a solid build with practical details that add real value on the field:

• Metal body: Gives a noticeably heavier and more realistic feel than comparable polymer replicas, as well as better resistance to everyday use and rough handling.
• Removable sights: The included sights can be removed as needed, giving you freedom to mount your own sights or optics on the Picatinny rails.
• Dual Picatinny rail: A rail both on top and under the pump gives room to mount sights, a light or a foregrip at the same time, without compromising function.
• High-capacity magazine: The cartridge magazine holds 30 BBs and delivers 10 shots per fill, reducing the need for frequent reloads during play.
• Multi-setting fire mode: Choose between SAFE, 3 BBs and 6 BBs per trigger pull, giving tactical flexibility depending on engagement distance and game situation.

Maintenance and safety

As the STF12 is gas-powered, it should be stored upright or lying flat at room temperature to keep the system gas-tight – avoid direct sunlight and frost. Check O-rings and valves regularly, and lubricate them with suitable silicone oil for a long service life and stable performance. Always treat the replica as the real thing: wear eye protection during play, and store it out of reach of children and unauthorised persons when not in use.
