Maruzen airsoft CA870 CQB

Instantly recognizable by the short box magazine and obviously plastic finish, the inexpensive, mass-produced airsoft replica of the Remington 870 is often used as a background prop in low-budget movies. Even though this replica is clearly based on the Remington 870, some versions mysteriously have 'Mossberg M590' (see image) in white on the left side of the receiver, just above the magazine.
