went to buy an EAP for winter use but was very disappointed with the performance, could have spat the BBs further and harder, so by accident I ended up with a GBB TM GLOCK 18c with a few spare mags ;-)
I'd not played with a pistol with full auto before, absolutely bonkers, was giggling like a school boy in the range at my local retailer!

My main AEG.
Yes,you know, the transition sight is useless for airsoft.

no it isn't - just move your head, not tip the gun to an angle - there's no reason anybody can't aim over sights that aren't vertical

That's how a Bren Gun sights worked, the vertical magazine on a Bren means the sights have to be off to the side.

Doesn't matter, you cab still use these holding the gun normally so shouldn't have any adverse effect- though assuming the user is right handed, they would be better off on the other side of the rilfeThey weren't at such a crazy angle though

See in this picture they are off to the left of the gun

I would think though on an M4 with the sights off at an angle it would be best to tilt the gun so the sights are vertical, you will get a better sight picture and the fall of shot will be in line with the sight.

indeed, on a REAL M4 canted ironsights are a great idea as a backup if you have a magnified sight on top since rifling doesn't care about alignment of the gun... on an airsoft gun though hop-up with f**k you in the ass.

Not at all. If you tilt the gun so the sight is vertical, yes, obviously; but if you simply aim over the angled iron sights, you're totally in business. We're not talking about trying to get good groupings, we're talking about hitting man sized targets at ranges where a magnified sight is a hindrance, ie right in front of you, ffs!

Hop doesn't kick in immediately with a titled gun (at least when I've experimented) and if you're using canted irons/an RDS you'll only be aiming with that backup because somebody's too close for your other optic.
There'll probably be a bit of 'dead ground' in between the maximum straight flight distance of your BBs with the gun canted and the minimum useful range of the primary optic, but that's not too big of an issue IMHO.
