£1200 in my pocket...now what!?!

[starscream]

TM recoil's are over-rated as heck, I see people saying "Once I used one I had to get it" and I think it's a load of pish pash that TM do to get more money out of you, get a GBBR if you want recoil.

This!

get a GBBR if you want recoil.

But I want an AEG and recoil together, what do I do then?

It's all subjective though isn't it. I prefer the reliability of an aeg. The first thing that attracted me to the tm recoil series was the hop ups. The recoil was a bonus.

If you were in the market for a GBBR, you could just about stretch to an Inokatsu... But you're not, so disregard my comment completely...

If you want recoil and have £1200 to blow , buy a lanner tactical .22lr and f**k airsoft off not helpful really but you will have a lot of fun with one

Gotta disagree there. Of course TM use it to get more money out of you, that's what profitable companies do, and rightly so, it's worth it. Normal AEGs are boring after you use a TM recoil for a while. No bolt movement or shaking, just not fun to use. At £200 like mine it was hardly overpriced compared to a normal AEG or GBBr. I have owned GBBrs, but I don't think the money you waste on gas and mags is worth the realism advantage, especially when there is no stock GBBR I know of that that will outperform a TM recoil out of the box. Plus, recoils are 100% reliable, something I can't say for any GBBR I have owned.

Re: £1200 in my pocket...now what!?!

Just get a TM recoil, (pref sopmod or either scar ) and 7 mids, and you've got the best, most reliable out of the box gun there is, then use the rest to lessen your student loan.

After that lot its not like he will have much left over.

Re: £1200 in my pocket...now what!?!

If it's a TM recoil you go for, then apart from a battery upgrade I'd maybe suggest leaving it alone. As BEN once said, when you open a TM all the magic dust falls out, and they never quite work the same again.

So as you'll have a fair chunk of budget left over, are after a complete setup (meaning you'll want a secondary), and have a hankering for a GBB, how about a KWA MP7 with NPAS and a few mags to use as secondary? Heck, if you get a fair few mags, you can even use it as your primary for CQB.

Yep, completely agreed. TM reputedly spent close to $1Million developing the shoot and recoil engine. Personally i feel that with that level of investment, research, and development; they created something meant to run to pretty exacting tolerances. I didnt tinker with any of my V2 recoil rifles (and technically didnt touch my V1 either, that was done by someone else). They ran amazingly well as they were.

Although it's now academic (sorry for the loss of your boiler, silasloki)...

Sorry, but no. Yes, the guns cost more, but they do a lot more than normal AEGs whilst still retaining the key features of AEGs (reliability and consistency). I own an Inokatsu - by price the highest-end GBBR there is - and yes, the recoil is much, much harder than the Marui's, and they cost about the same (having bought both second-hand). But the Inokatsu's magazines are £60 each and can only really fire about 30-40 shots before venting. The gun needs an NPAS in order to acclimatise to changes in temperature, and in anything less than midsummer will be spewing liquid propane if you attempt a full 50rd magazine dump. GBBRs are amazing, but they require a lot of maintenance and expense to do a lot less actual shooting than an AEG.

I agree up to a point, but many people (myself included) feel a bit shortchanged by the JDM power levels of all TMs; by proportion, it's like driving at 58mph when the limit's 70. Certainly for £1200 a Recoil Shock could be greatly improved. However, since silasloki doesn't have £1200 any more, I agree that a bone-stock secondhand AR-15 Recoil Shock is still the best thing you can buy. I got mine in literally mint condition with some spare mags, an Eotech and two batteries for £460 - once I'd sold the sight and the batteries (hateful things) it was £400 for a basically brand-new SOPMOD and three Recoil Shock midcaps.

Inokatsu would be fun, but I have two already

Oh, and I'm skint.

Re: £1200 in my pocket...now what!?!

GBBR's don't really take much maintenance though? And the WE G39 works in minus temperatures, as does my WE P226? The odd bit of silicone oil here and there, as well as a clean and re-grease every so often and you're golden.

Either way buddy, hope what ever you pick serves you well! :D
Or you can buy me an Echo 1 M240B if you're up for it? :P

Re: £1200 in my pocket...now what!?!

Considering that to clean/grease a GBBR properly you really need to disassemble it, that's quite involved maintenance to someone who might previously have only played with AEGs (maintenance requirements: charge batteries, take to tech if anything breaks). But point taken, it's not much more complicated to maintain something like a WA AR-15 than it is to maintain a RS AR-15.

Re: £1200 in my pocket...now what!?!

Going back to the Polarstar train of thought, you might want to have a look at Daytona Gun. It's a similar sort of idea, a drop-in kit (so you can choose a gun with nice externals) with a HPA or CO2 rig, but it does do recoil, apparently harder than any GBBR on the market. They have drop-in kits for AKs, M249s, M4s and FALS, but I've seen many other guns operating with them e.g MP5s and other such guns. Best thing is you can use AEG magazines. Also handy with the M249 drop-in kits is that, if you have any problems with the kit, you can just remove it and put the aeg gearbox back in until you've sorted out what's wrong.

Fully automatic fire with a box mag and recoil

Re: £1200 in my pocket...now what!?!

Problem is, didn't Daytona Gun go out of business some years ago?
