Best CQB gun, a pistol?

[Arwen]

For me, I like lightness. It's one reason why I love my G&G Wasp. In total is a grand 63cm long and only 2kg, so even I can run around with it all day. For CQB I've not found it a problem at all, although I am finding I am enjoying CQB more when running around with just my pistols. I take both, with 2 mags each and that normally does me for a decent length game.

The Wasp and the MK23 have similar ranges I have found, but in CQB I don't normally come close to the maximum range they can shoot. I think I enjoy running with the two pistols more because I am more conscious of my limited ammo, it brings another challenge to the game for me.

I've tried M4 (and tried shortening it down), I've tried AEP, I've tried pump shotgun, but the best tool that I've found for the job is an MP5K.

I wouldn't necessarily recommend the cheap Galaxy model that I've got simply because of the lonnnnnng trigger pull, but other than that it functions splendidly.  90 round magazines, 315fps, easy to hold in your sight line, very nearly as handy as a pistol for corners or staying tight behind cover, and accurate out to longer ranges than I'd expected. The iron sights work fine, or slap a rail adapter and a reflex sight on it.  Heck, I've run it in woodland with a zoom sight on a peek-through rail riser and not been too badly outranged by full length AEGs, to my surprise and theirs.

You could try the CYMA version if you want to spend a little more, but as a general platform I think it's ideal for CQB.

From my experience both are relatively equal.

Pistol:

Far easier to move around vertically - running around corners and watching people shoot over your head is fun

Can peek faster - less weight makes it easier to randomly pop out then back in again

More intuitive than a rifle - grab it stand right against a corner and look round, wont have perfect technique but it'll be far better than some rifle players I've seen

Rifle:

Volume of fire

Volume of fire

Did I say it? Volume of fire - can suppress better than a pistol due to the sheer amount of bbs you can afford to waste 300rnd hicap vs 50rn extendo

Far easier to win a corner and catch your opponent with constant fire or move up

Range is a moot point if you have a decent pistol

Cost - a competitive aeg setup costs nothing compared to a competitive pistol setup due to mags, gas, lube , gear to carry said mags, random shiny bits you'll want to buy for it.

Reread that and it made hardly any sense but oh well

Best CQB gun I’ve ever used is the TM mp7 gbb, for multiple reasons. It has all of the advantages of a pistol and a rifle. It’s the size of a large pistol, but you can shoulder it. That technically makes it smaller because to use a pistol with a degree of accuracy  you need your arms outstretched. The barrel of a shouldered mp7 is much closer to your body than a pistol. It’s more repeatable and accurate and it has 40rd mags instead of the usual 25ish from a pistol. Easy to mount optics or tracers too.

As much as I love my pistols and use them as primaries often enough, I dont think they are THE best CQB choice. Something like a sub machine gun size or AEP  but like people have said its relative.

A lot also depends on play style, seen plenty of people at The Mall kick ass with pistols and know plenty who wouldnt be able to hit the wall with a pistol as a hammer.
