first off, its nice, and heavy, and i clocked it at 265fps. i also bought a pistol case that has a target built into the top part of it, and managed to hit the bullseye at 30m. btw total cost: $31.28, thats with the hard pistol case that comes with a built in target (sticky, but u can put a paper one on top and know what you shot) and 200 .12 high grade pistol bbs.
---------------------------------------------------------------
well, i can see shrapnl's point on that. its a differnt style, ill agree, i just think the style itself is harder, but thats my opinion.
and yes you do have to cock it everytime, but i have used one that cocks once and shoots the entire 25bbs in the mag. it used som sort of multiple spring system....wierd.
i did say in my post id be playing springer only matches, and no i will not get raped by an aeg, it isnt the first time ive used a springer, and considering i even clocked it today at 265fps, (what the stock TM HK sg1 claims,) thatll match an aeg in power. as for aiming, i can cheaply extend the barrel to about a foot long with nor problem, but i hit bullseye at 30m w/ it, so im fairly comfortable i can do well with it.
-----------------
edit: let me throw in why i left aegs, well the point is, to much modding, and playing with people, like me, who had ungodly weapons. i modded tm mp5 a4 and pdw to stage IV, as well as made a m9 ebb shoot a nice 350fps (all custom work however, pretty much a new body was involved for the m9) and i wasnt the only one with this stuff either, ive seen overmodded g3's sg1's aks, even p90s. i realized after selling my stuff how that was becoming well, to much. ever wonder what a .3g bb feels like at 450fps?
now before you say anything, i know several places will not allow people to play with that much power, but i played mostly in unoffical scrimmages. now i just want to be able to play more of a single shot game. Infact i know play a game in which using an entire mag is equivalent to being shot in the head.
