Opinion? TM EBB Glock 18C

zeroscore · January 2nd, 2008, 13:15

Hi guys. New to the forums.

Interested in the TM EBB Glock 18C (found here; bottom of page). Any opinions on said weapon? Good/bad/neutral? (As a backup weapon that isn't completely terrible; not interested in spending several hundred on a handgun. Also interested to use it for some fun target practice outside the games.)

Thanks.

Used to own one, it's not really an appropriate backup weapon for 99% of situations. The effective range is really, really short and the round takes forever to reach a target. For target practice, it generally won't even punch through paper targets at anything more than 15'.

What do you suggest?

Go for a Canadian Tire Mini, a TM mini, or save up for an AEP. I dunno how much the USP or Glock AEP is, but the EBBs are already at 150, plus the fortune you'd spend on batteries.

Get a GBB and if it's your first one best to stick with a TM model. They are affordable, run propane without any problems, and have much better perforamce than a EBB.

Plus GBB's are allot more fun to use than a EBB pistol.

The difference between an EEB and an AEP is huge. EBB is next to completely useless, whereas an AEP is great.
But the GBB is really the king of backup guns.

What is your current budget? And are you over 18?

ProbeJax · January 2nd, 2008, 13:55

The difference in price between an AEP and EBB is only about 100 bucks, right?

A guy that I game with has a TM18C EBB and other than something to have in your holster as a fashion accessory it is totally useless.

Good know. Thank you all. (There is ton of stuff to learn about Airsoft weapons... crazy.)

Found this little guy: Tokyo Marui SIG Sauer P226 (pic). Any thoughts? (GBB. Gas Gun.) With GBB-based handguns, what accessories do I otherwise need? (Can of gas, etc. Anything that isn't included.)

Probably one of the best gas guns you can buy. Get that, a propane adaptor (www.airsoft-innovations.com) and a tank of propane.

zeroscore · January 2nd, 2008, 14:58

Cool, thanks. Where exactly does the propane sit in the gun?

Crunchmeister · January 2nd, 2008, 15:20

You charge the magazine up with propane / whatever gas. That's what you need the AI propane adapter for.

Inside the magazine.

Fill out your profile, get age-verified, and check the deals in the Classifieds section.

For the original question, EBB are crap. AEP seem to be a far different idea but I dont own one.
