Please don't refer to our new Korean fairy pixie friends in a negative light. If Trump can, you can. All the best.

Tokyo Marui every day and twice on Sundays. 

Ignore FPS. Put it aside, leave it in the safe one and forget it is there, a bit like what you'll be doing with any non-TM POS entry gun 6 months from now. 

Right, now you have ignored the FPS, focus on THE most important aspect of trying to hit someone out there and that is the HOP and the range, and that is what TM has over the rest. That is the difference and that is why you should look no further than a TM. 

It is a TM world and all the other brands are just living in it.

You feel that strongly about TM? Also you’re not working for TM right!?  

Have you owned other makes?

I really appreciate the input and it’s helping me come towards being able to make an informed decision. 

My TM MP5 is 15 years old and not been used for about 10 years, must have had half a million rounds through it, if not more and the rof was still half decent and the AEG itself worked fine despite it being in a damp garage all that time - so one thing I do know is that they are/were made well!

Yeah, I own Star, KJW, G&P, Maruzen, WE... 

TM is the best.

I can reflect on this, been in the game for 13 years now and spent the best part of £40k on guns and gear

i have owned well in excess of 200+ rifles myself and worked on almost double that if not triple in my time as a tech from all brands and most likely owned or had my hands on the majority of guns that have been made

TM will always be king, they were the first to design many things we see today and other companies jumped on the band wagon and brought out clones, i believe their tolerances to be much tighter than other competitors because well, Japan

I too have a few old TM MP5's, in fact my primary is a TM SD6 (just with everything replaced)

Thank you for the input guys - much appreciated! 

Got my hands on some different makes the other day but have to say my old TM MP5 still looked and felt good. 

Will have some thinking to do to do but I can now make a very informed decision. 

Regards and thanks

What are your opinions on the TM M4 Sopmod EBB?

Also do the EBBs cause more problems that what they’re worth? Can’t help but think it’s something extra to break

They're great (potentially a bit biased as I've got 4- that said if they weren't worth having I wouldn't lol), a lot of fun and a bit more realistic than a 'standard' AEG. They make a normal style AEG feel somewhat boring if used back to back with the recoil shocks.

As for problems, the main thing is that the stock battery system is crap so pretty much everyone mods the stocks to take normal style lipos and solves the issue. Other than that on AR-15 type rifles the castle nut on the stock can shake loose so an armourers wrench is worth keeping to hand to tighten it etc. Laylax do and uprated one too.

The system is actually 10 years old this year (man, time flies) and has proven to be pretty reliable and all issues are pretty easily sorted these days and parts are no longer hard to get.
