Which GBB Pistol?

Re: Which GBB Pistol?

Yay, another convert to the joys of TM's amazing plastic pistols

Seriously, really glad you're happy with your purchase. Try & track down the HK 45 & the HK USP 9mm Compact you'll be just as pleased.

It's a shame that "plastic" AEGs are not viewed in the same light. Just because it has a plastic receiver it doesn't make it a "toy" That's another common misconception for another day.

"low power"

Ahhhhh the old "FPS is everything!" common misconception.

A TM pistol firing at 280fps will outrange a shoddy cheaper gun firing at 350 fps. Because theyre just BETTER and made with Japanese voodoo magic.

Some say that the traditional act of seppuku is still used in the Tokyo Mauri quality control team... a single gun failing to be anything other than perfect brings dishonour upon the worker and his entire family and generations to come, the only way to redeem their lost honour is to throw themselves upon their sword.

They come from the land of the rising sun which doesnt have the words "thatll do, close enough" in their vocabulary. Glorious Nippon plastic cut through filthy Gaijin hoards like mighty Samurai.

So this comment sold me on TM. I initially ordered a HK45, however I had an email the following morning stating that someone had ordered before me but their system hadn't updated. Bummer

Ended up getting a Glock 17 instead and god you were all right. The thing is a laser. Its more accurate than my r-hopped P* at 20m (my p* will get slightly more left right deviation)

Depends on who you ask.

The manufacturer or retailer will say OMG NO U MUST USE 144a GAS ONLY OR ELSE THEY WILL EXPLODE AND KILL YOU, YOUR FAMILY, YOUR PETS AND EVERYONE YOUVE EVER LOVED.

Anyone else will say "yeah its fine" because the UK is so bloody cold and miserable for most of the year it never gets hot enough to worry about using "too powerful" gas.

Hahaha.

This is literally the hardest decision i've made in a while. I've decided to go TM, as the main reason for wanting the pistol is for Pistol only games, and it makes sense to have the best performing pistol. As for which one, i'm completely stuck. I love HK stuff, but Glocks are "The Pistol" and the 18c has the fun switch. due to TM popularity I can only locate them at these prices, which also makes a difference, because I don't want to over pay.

HK45 - £139.99
Magazine - £26.99

Glock 17 - £115.00
Magazine std - £25.00

Glock 18c - £150.00!
Magazine std - £25.00
Magazine long - £45.00

Glock spare and accessories are everywhere. The HK45 is less common and therefore more unique.

Re: Which GBB Pistol?

So if I got either the glock or the HK45 from TM, would they both be able to run green gas/propane without an issue?

I haven't found TM Glocks to be the most solid pistols ever, certainly not bad but I think an HK45 would last longer using Green Gas. I used Guarder Power up in mine and it didn't tear itself apart.

Stupid mobile browser...

The KWA HK45 is not a clone of the Marui as it came out years before the Marui version. At the end of the day, they're all much the same. You just need a sidearm for when the enemy are right on top of you so it's really just down to aesthetics.

Re: Which GBB Pistol?

If you like HK go for either the TM USP 9mm Compact or the HK 45. Both have full trades & the new larger BBU giving a more "felt" recoil.

Buy the original, the others are clones.

Re: Which GBB Pistol?

They all sound pretty much the same, they go CLACK CLACK CLACK CLACK CLACK PFFFFFFFFFT. Only exception being the Mk23 which just whispers silent death. Youre not going to get an airsoft gun that goes BANG BANG BANG POW like the movies.

Sure some guns might sound a little bit louder but thats just the sound of the slide smashing against the recoil plate.

Re: Which GBB Pistol?

How does the gas system sound when it fires?

Re: Which GBB Pistol?

I should point out that mine has a Shooter's Design metal slide and barrel fitted and I'm not sure how that compares to the stock slide/barrel combo but it is fairly loud.

TM GLOCKS ARE THE BEST. BLASPHEMY! HERESY!

I have a KWA HK45 and it is my favourite sidearm to date. It might not have the range of a TM Glerk but it gets hits, feels comfortable and sounds lovely.

The HK45 was my initial fav, which is why I'm quite keen on the VP9
Is the Hk45 loud? It sounded weak in videos

Re: Which GBB Pistol?

If you like glocks, personally I've found the KJW 19s to be better performers than the TM 17. You can get them in both plastic and metal, and whilst they have no trades in most places you can buy them from, i got 2 slides marked for £30.
