Marushin 5-7 recommended? (CO2 version)

[geoffreym]

I'm looking at getting a new pistol as my 4.3 is getting a bit old (has to be at least 7 years old as I bought it second hand well used 5 years ago) and is starting to develop a couple of niggles. so I was looking at a new pistol for general skirmishing.

Initially I was looking at a WE G17 because people have been praiseful of it, but I was offered a Marushin 5-7 for £100 and it felt quite nice, and the reviews I've seen haven't been bad.

 

so I was wondering whether I should go for it, or just stick with the G17?

 

By the by, I'm only asking for the working/reliablity, it seems many people don't like the looks, but I kinda like the sci-fyey look.

I'm sorry mate I don't have a clue Wat I'm talking about but that g17 looks nice!I prefer a nice thick barrel on a pistol my self, normally a nicely fitting laser sight doe the trick or a pistol similar to the p15b crosman air pistol. Wish I could give some real help sorry.
