so a few days ago I made a post about a tracer unit and which should I get, well I was looking around and had some spare cash so I have two choices I either build out my ar with holo sight new stock ect ect, vs buying a sidearm which would be a 5.1 TM hi capa, I'm unsure of which I should go for since a lot of people I've found say sidearms aren't very useful in most situations 

what do you think?

 
Depends on the site imo, and it also depends on how you play. I think ultimately it depends on preference. If youre playing indoors,  you cant go wrong with a hi capa though

 
Do you already own a pistol ?, If the answers no then get one, definitely worth having & as has been pointed out,you won't go far wrong with a Hi-Capa.

If you already have a pistol, & your rifle is doing what it's supposed to, but you only have one rifle ?, I'd say spend this bit of spare cash on a second rifle, ideally something with the same mag type, then your covered for all eventualities....... except a tri-shot shotgun, you want one of those too, it's like the backups backup lol ?

 
? @Tackle Backups... Me CQB

G36>MWS>MP5>MK23>CZ Shadow>PPQ>M870>Grenade>Knife

@LiamT get a pistol ?

Great fun, and very handy if playing gun hit rules!

yeah I only have 1 rifle and the only attachments i have for it is a small red dot that I want to replace and some epm mags, I don't have enough for a second rifle but I have enough to either build my rifle or buy a tm 5.1 hi capa

 
I'd rather have one good gun than 2 mediocre ones.

I understand that a backup (like a pistol or a compact SMG) can be handy, but honestly in the 11+ years I've been playing I can count the times I actually needed a sidearm on one hand (except when I'm sniping).

this is what I was thinking because I was told that they weren't used much, I wanted to get some attachments that would go well for anything crane stock for battery, peq box/light and a good foregrip as well

I'd fix any internal issue first, make it as reliable as possible. A mosfet would be a good call if you don't have one, a reshim if needed and most importantly, fix any potential air leaks. New hop rubber too if you haven't done that already (a hair more range and a good improvement in consistency).

Then you may look at attachments.

If you only play in woodland sites, forget about lights/peq boxes. Yes they look good, but at the end of the day it's just unnecessary weight and stuff that can break.

I have no experience in internal upgrades and have no idea of places around me where I can get internal stuff done so I have really kept myself away from them as I don't want to break anything, but the gun works fine out the box in the few games ive played, I also play CQB quite a bit

To be fair, most attachments are unnecessary, they do nothing to improve gameplay or performance, they just look pretty.

If your budgeting for a new pistol & couple of mags, then you've got enough for another rifle, for example the one somebody reviewed on here recently, AR variant from one of the polish shops for £105ish, can't go wrong with that.

I've just picked up a fal with half a dozen mags for £140, lots of bargains out there.

As for all the non essential "accessories" you want, just wait for them to pop up in the classifieds for half the RRP, win win ?

If your rifle dies mid game, & it will lol, then your days play is screwed, plus green fees & associated travel costs up the shitter, which will obviously suck.

If you've got a mag compatible backup your back in the game in 5 minutes, even if it's a cheap gat it gets you out of trouble.

well I was intending on getting a crane stock so I could have a larger battery and also bring spares, would that be a good idea? or just another ar

Not talking about batteries, think gearbox issues, some of which such as piston teeth breaking is fairly common,  & not immediately fixable, so yeah I'd pick up a backup AR, or any other platform that takes AR mags, maybe a bullpup, such as a PDR-C/FN2000/UAR/SA80, as an alternative type of backup, but that has its strengths as maybe a cqb primary ?

ah I see good point 

 
The chances of fixing a broken AEG in a safe zone ,  between games is pretty slim?
