bruceball1 Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 Right so I wana get myself an smg for cqb environments but don't want an mp5 as my brother in law has one and would like to mix it up a bit. Thinking maybe a vector?
AK47frizzle Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 Vectors are a little chunky and the only one right now is the KWA GBB version and it's expensive as fuk. You could go for a TM mp7 AEP or GBB. The KWA MP9 is also viable. If you do have the money, the ASG skorpion evo would be pretty cool. There's also the new M4 spectre by AY. And also the Uzi AEP by TM. And various other P90 brands. You're spoilt for choices really.
Supporters Esoterick Posted May 25, 2015 Supporters Posted May 25, 2015 Vectors are hard to get hold of as they are no longer in production as far as I am aware. There's a few good choices off the top of my head: G&G UMP, TM or KWA MP7 and there's also a fair few AK 74SU variants about which is more or less the same size as a submachine gun.
Colonel Kurtz Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 P90 is prob as close to rifle performance you'll get from something that size(ish), have TM HC one and it's awesome. Slightly too big to use 1 handed comfortably so if you've very long arms it might be a pain to hold into your shoulder. I just got a TM MP7 electric and it's perfect CQB weapon. ROF is bit low but intending on using it for single-shot games only. I would have got gas but i don't like it in general. Small electric guns are thought to generally be outperformed by gas equivs as shrinking the gearbox from rifle size to smg size often looses fair bit of power/rof
bruceball1 Posted May 27, 2015 Author Posted May 27, 2015 An MP7 has always been something I've looked at but wasn't sure between gas and electric. I've got a GBB pistol and AEG M4 so I've used both. But I think I'll definitely look into getting a TM MP7
MZKaleem Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 TM make electric and gas MP7s, so it gives you good choice. As far as I know, both are pretty upgradable too.
bruceball1 Posted May 27, 2015 Author Posted May 27, 2015 I'll have a look on some sites to get some ideas of prices. Anyone recommend anywhere particularly good? Only bought from airsoft armoury and zero one
Sacarathe Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 I was looking at these over the last few days, Wolf Armouries seem to be one of the cheapest in stock for the GBB, but on the other hand if you're buying more than 1 spare mag, the asian sites (even with prices converted from USD and multiplied by 1.25(inc postage) came too a £100 saving when buying 5 spare mags. (over buying 5 spare in the uk at £40 each).
Colonel Kurtz Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Dunno about the gas TM MP7, the electric does have few upgrade options available but it is a bit tricky. Laylax (Nineball) have made aftermarket/upgrade bits for a majority of the gearbox and a couple tightbore barrels, but these aren't easily found from UK retailers, didn't find one that had them all anyways, Eagle6 has most of them. The exception is the gears and motor, no-one seems to have made replacement gears with a dif ratio for increased ROF, and no-one seems to have made a replacement motor at all, can't even find an original one so if that breaks then your fuked. Converting to lipo is a popular one as the standard MP7 battery doesn't last too long, can either rewire to a PEQ, or chop the connector off a standard MP7 battery and attach it to a lipo small enough. I didn't have a stock battery so bought a Laylax MP7 lipo adapter as that'd done half the job for me and same price as a stock battery anyways. Also it's a tricky little bitch of a gearbox to tinker in, took me several attempts to get it perfect, end result is about 310FPS and about 17-19RPS compared to stock of 250FPS and about 15RPS
Russe11 Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 What about an MP40? ASG do MP40's, they're cheap and pretty good quality.
Chopper92 Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 Considered a UMP? pretty versatile and very light due to the polymer construction! also come with a folding stock as standard, i love mine haha. Always loved the look of a scorpion evo as well tho, especially with an upgraded motor they are formidable little buggers!
dEFCONairsoft Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 KWA MP9's are awesome, kick like a mule and sound great - I was running with mine last night at Squad Assault in stoke, it's my favourite gun right now
Cold3lit3 Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 Scorpion Evo, it's amazing. OK it looks like a fish with no goodies attached hahaGot an AFG on the way for the front end and thumb stops (essential) to stop me shooting myself in the finger<iframe src="https://onedrive.live.com/embed?cid=2795B79063FA0F8C&resid=2795b79063fa0f8c%213601&authkey=ANywTj4hgDHogRo" width="320" height="180" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>
