Fabarm STF12 Short, OD

The FABARM STF12 Short Initial is a compact gas pump-action shotgun built on the iconic STF/12 form factor from Italian gun maker FABARM. With its metal construction, short profile and extendable stock, it is made for CQB and indoor play, where manoeuvrability and fast reloads count for more than long range. Many pump replicas on the market feel hollow and plasticky, which hurts both the experience and durability in hard play. The STF12 Short stands apart with its all-metal construction and official markings, giving an authentic weight and finish close to the original – something usually only seen on gas pump shotguns in the top premium class.

An authentic finish and versatile setup make this shotgun a safe choice for players who prioritise quality, fast manoeuvring and flexible accessory mounting.

• Metal construction: The body is made of metal, giving a solid, realistic weight distribution and noticeably better resistance to knocks and everyday use than the many polymer-based alternatives in the same category.
• Extendable stock: The stock adjusts for length, so the replica is easy to adapt to different body sizes or kit – practical when switching between summer and winter clothing with thicker layers.
• Dual Picatinny rail: Rails both on top and under the pump give room for sights, lights or a foregrip at the same time, without having to choose between functions.
• Removable sights: Sights are included and can be removed if you want to mount a red dot sight or other optic directly on the rail without obstructing the sight line.
• High-capacity shells: The system uses shells that hold 30 BBs and deliver 10 shots per shell, meaning fewer reloads and a smoother game experience than shotguns with single-shot shells.

Maintenance and safety
As a gas-powered replica, the STF12 should be stored upright or lying flat at a stable room temperature, so the gas system is not exposed to unnecessary pressure changes. Avoid storing the replica with pressurised shells for long periods, as this can wear valves and O-rings. Always treat the replica as a real firearm, keep it on SAFE outside of play, and wear eye protection whenever it is used.
