    price per shot with CO2 vs GG on a WE pistol is near identical, and actually works out cheaper if you buy the bulbs in packs of 40 or more. Only way to make gas cheaper is to be buying plumbers gas and using an adapter.

    Issue with CO2 is once you put the bulb in you have to use it or you are wasting a what ever is left in the bulb.

    Also I really don't understand why some one buys something and then say what other manufacturers mags fit. Stick with like for like. You got a WE gun get WE mags you are not going to run into fitment/seal issues.

    It's pretty near impossible for something imported to be more expensive unless you're buying extremely rare items or buying from stores that hyperinflate prices off the get go (RWA or WGC). 

     

    Also strength of USD to GBP is fairly irrelevant, if the store is using HKD or NTD as its primary currency.

    I have no finance knowledge I have just found that when the dollar is weak against the pound other currencies ie Hong Kong dollar is weak (there maybe no colloration what so ever but it's just what I observed) and untill relatively recently once you added on postage and import taxes you weren't saving (or the savings was negligible).

    In the last year i've imported a bunch of guns and consistently saved 30-40% all said and done.

     

    One package was stuck in customs for weeks, but it eventually cleared and all was well.

    Sorry miss type meant to write "this time last year"

    How is it plebeian to use the more expensive option? 

     

    If you have UKARA then importing is literally a piece of piss.

    Untill it's not. I personally have had to wait almost two months for a gun to clear customs, going back and forth with the carrier. There are also lots of people who have had guns dead on arrival with no come back. We also have to remember the Dollar is doing shite at the moment (not up to when it was $2 to £ like it was in the early  2000s) but this last year you didn't save money importing. A few times I payed more than I would in the UK but no one in the UK had them in stock.

    the Maruzen NBB P99 is as quiet as the Mk23 and actually a nicer pistol to use too. However they are only made in small ish batches so you might have a little while before one comes up 

    Seconded they are very good guns, but it is next to impossible to get replacement parts for maruzen guns.

    What is the quietest standard AEG?

    You are not going to get a good answer, no one has done any sort of noise comparison of a wide range of stock AEGs (or any that I can find). Even a custom build gun is going to make a minimum of difference to that actually decibel level from a gun. Mods will change things like pitch a frequency so the sound may not travel as far.

    £600 is an awful asking price.

    They are literally £700 new and i can only find one shop in the UK that's got them in stock. I am not saying they are going to get that but you always price higher than what you actually want for the gun.

     It could be the valves then selves need rebuilt or if the guns been run on green gas they may be damaged and needs to be replaced.

    If the original poster is still active that's a valid question to ask. people are bad at follow up. If the OP hasn't been on line since the day the question was asked yeah dead end!

    Cheating unless allowed by the rules, but even then a dick move. You are just going to have people spend all the game frequency hopping and you are going to piss away the game trying to listen rather than play.
