That's the main reasoning behind metal bodied guns.

Though, as soon as you start viewing your blasters as tools rather than showpieces, you'll fuck off the M700 pretty quickly

Both have the same metal parts, but the m700 stock is far thicker and substantial than that of the VSR, which is pretty small. Also, the realistic operation just feels like a dream to shoot. Been in the hobby for about 16 years now and I am definitely a bit of a collector. Once this m700 is done, I'm revisiting the Tanaka m700 to make it shoot just as well because it's my rarest and most eye-catching piece.

Though I'm under no impression it will ever shoot as well or consistently as the VSR (unless I HPA tap the magazines and that would defeat half the reason I like it...), I will do everything in my power to make it shoot as well as possible. Very impressed with the Action Army hop unit for it.

My comment was mostly a tongue in cheek to all the "if it doesn't weight 45 kilogrammes it's not realistic" people
