nono, you were right at the start. it's garbage try it next to a stock marui hicapa and you'll see what i mean. feels nice till you shoot it. heavy recoil but slow as a tortoise, also i'm mentioning nothing about the flaccidass recoil spring (dont change it because it's meant to be that way) and the mag that leaks and runs out of gas after 20 shots (31bb capacity).

The information will be consolidated into something useful.

i don't know where your getting this but my WE shoot just a fast as my friends TM and i get 2 mags of BB's off before i need to re-fill

Okay cool. Thanks for straightening me out pufnstuf.

The irony...

Renegade has 'volunteered' to compile the information because in the next several weeks my life will be hell.

I dont think there will ever be a complete consensus, but it should give a list of reasonably decent guns/buys when it's done.

Even that is far better than the guessing game.

evilmonkey which WE do you have? I recently compared my old WE High Cap 5.1 to manchovie's TM and it totally blows the WE away, so much so that I just sold it and will pick up a TM soon!

In terms of value, the WE is way up there but it can't really compare to the TM (from my limited experience anyway) is just so much chrisper and not as sluggish even with the metal slide installed. Ya it's more expensive but airsoft is an expensive hobby, we should be use to it by now.

I've got the 5.1 AB type Dragon...the one with only half a slide, and it keeps up with my friends TM 5.1 high cap just fine

I am currently working on a summary of all the GBB's mentioned, most popular > least, ect, dont expect it to soon, I still have work, more work and then some sleep in between to get done . When it is done, thanks to Meat it will be done in a new thread, stickied and probably locked at the top of this section.

Any feedback on the layout, format, ect of it pm me ideas.

Thanks.

I have a HiCapa 3.8.
Works fine- and the recoil isn't sluggish at all. Also, gas efficiency is pretty good.
I guess that's just your gun, then.

That'd be nice. Something to pass all my time on ( since I love pistols so much )

You have all my support

Ive only ever owned a KJW beretta m9a1 elite. Loved it, but i think cause of the Houge grips. Anyone love their full metal USP (mk23 or .45) or 1911? Im looking at getting into GBB exclusivly and i want the shit of GBB's. Looking to get two amazing guns. I guess my first will be the TM sig p226 by what ive seen. But its plastic! What about the KJW or KSC ones? Full metal all the way. Im also thinking about getting GBB's that will run well on propane, i dont want to order green gas every two weeks. Ill check the FAQs about that stuff.

[Renegade)]

My first and only GBB so far is the TM p226, and I thought the same thing, plastic? ugh. but I will tell you man, I love this gun, and it has amazing performance, light weight, runs great on propane. You wont really notice anything bad about it being plastic, but I agree again, nothing beats the overall look, feel, and feel of a full metal gun, but for a great sidearm, the 226 even plastic, is a top choice.

[Amazing KG3]

yeah but this isnt a sidearm, i want a gbb that I can become framiliar with in the most realistic ways possible. Im a huge handgun fanatic, and as im going to be going for mountie training soon, i want to have my prized GBBs while i dump all mt other stuff. What about the maruzen p99?

[longshot]

I tested my TM P-226 at it stock gun form for over 500 rds before it got up graded.
The test was done using 134A (duster gas) and it can penetrate card board box for within 20 ft. The handling of this gun is excellent, just the right size for any field situations. The blow back is smooth; I found more accuracy with .20bb than using the .25bb for this gun.
ROF is something I don’t like to judge for a GBB…as if I am asking myself as to how fast I can squeeze the trigger most of the time. But this is all a matter of opinion.
I’ve been the owner for the following GBB in the past – TM Tactical Master, TM Desert Eagle, WA SV Infinity Tactical Carry and a KJW Glock 23. After careful considerations, I must say my TM P-226 is the best above all the others I had handled so far.

[Amazing KG3]

so no go on the usps?
