I suddenly feel the urge to take up wood carving.

What do you guys say? An AEP for 35 dollars... Seems fishy
It's in asia.

I don't recommend it, unless you're pretty much hosing people down within 20' and have enough magazines to make it worthwhile.
[QUOTE=DarkSamus;22230173]It's in asia.[/QUOTE]
They ship anywhere.

That's pretty much exactly the same as my P226. Now do as I say and not as I did, find something else.
Asia shops like RSOV tend to cost 50$+ in shipping to u.s
Hence why they can charge 32$ for the gun.

Why? Is it that low quality? For me, it is an AEP, those are needed. (No way to get gas here)
Bleh, that takes all the fun out of using a pistol. Get a WE 1911, they're all in the $100-$115 range, if you want a sidearm. That's about as cheap as you should go.
Then there's gas prices and maintenance, which suck, but AEPs suck more.
But as I said, there is no way I could get gas, apart from that website. I am gonna get one, to test it, etc. If i am lucky, it will fit into the FPG
Wait you bought an FPG for an AEP? Why?!

Wait...no. What are you on about? The FPG is it's own gun, just needs a glock slide and magazines. It's a GBB.

You could just buy propane and an adapter.

Don't do it. Let me save you the time and tell you why.
Glock AEP's have the majority of their gearbox components inside the grip of the gun. They're not even remotely similar to KWA/KSC Glocks. Not only that, but the FPG's grip folds, thus splitting any sort of gearbox connections the AEP would have between the piston and gears, and probably wiring too. I'm 100% sure the AEP slide doesn't match that of a KWA/KSC either, meaning it won't slide onto the FPG. The trigger of the FPG also folds upwards as well, and I can guarantee you the AEP won't be able to do that.
Take the advice from someone who owns a FPG. You're wasting your time.

It's not that it's low quality, it's that it's electrically powered. It's pretty hefty, weak and inaccurate at range. Parts and spare magazines will be tough to find unless you order online. A side-arm isn't a necessity, save up for an AEG and/or upgrades and accessories.

No I didn't buy the FPG yet, now I know how it actually works. Does it use gas, Ender?

And my AK-74 is being shipped, and I wanted a sidearm which as said doesn't use gas. At least it is better than a springer.
I am getting a GBB. Yay.
Any know any good M9 or PPK GBBs?
I found this one [url]http://www.actionhobbies.co.uk/KWA-M9-PTP-Full-Metal_ARVOB~0.aspx[/url]
I'm in the UK btw.
Well the one you found is pretty good but I am unaware of any PPK's.

Unless you plan on using that side-arm regularly or as a primary in CQB skirmishes, it's not gonna find much use.

I plan to use it in CQB, mainly for the maneuvering advantage, and it doesn't have such a big silouette, so it can be used for sneaking around.
If that's the case than alright. Just remember to buy A LOT of spare mags.
How many woulf you recommend? It comes with a 30 round mag, but I can buy 50-round TM mags too.
Gas mags are so expensive :gonk:

Those are meant to be pretty good, but not the most accurate. If your site chronos pistols though you might be screwed as they can be a little hot.
As for PPK's - I know there's a chinese one floating around recently, I think it's a clone of the maruzen (which isn't all that good) and is meant to be pretty terrible.

Just get a pistol then.

TM Glock mags will not fit in KSC/KWA Glocks.
I have 14 mags - 9 short and 5 long. :3

It is not a KSC Glock, it is a CYMA, I read in a review that TM 50 round mags fit it, I just need a good number. And why get a pistol if I can't get gas. I know it could quickly turn into a spray and pray, but it is a backup weapon.
Cyma?
Aep?
Glock?
Noooooooo!
Never!
Ever!
Don't do it!

would anyone be so kind as to explain the difference between the type 551 and 552 holographic sights to me? it only seems that on the 551, the battery compartment is smaller.
One is 30$
the other is 160$
One says for AEG so I assume worse quality.

Don't get the KWA M9 PTP. It shoots 350 FPS, sometimes more, it's ridiculous. All KWA NS2 and PTP guns are like this. Sucks because at that speed not only will it sometimes chrono over, but you can't clear rooms with it.
