grandwitch Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 Hello, I have been playing a lot of CQB recently (TheMall) and was thinking of getting a weapon for this specific purpose. I have been using my LonexM4 but it is a bit clumsy in confined spaces. Budget is not a massive issue Something light For CQB only Short So far I have narrowed it down to the following AEG's TM MP7A1 TM P90 TM MP5 TM G3 SAS At the moment i am leaning towards the MP7 or the P90, a lot of people seem to have a MP5. Was wondering what peoples thoughts were? If I got a MP7 I would probably get a blank firing grenade as well as it is a lot cheaper than the others. Thanks Daniel
Sam_G Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 TM MP7......but GAS! SeniorSpaz87, Esoterick and ImTriggerHappy 3
grandwitch Posted December 16, 2015 Author Posted December 16, 2015 Why Gas I though Gas was not great in the cold weather in the UK?

majormanni Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 g&g firehawk? Stubby, Cheap, reliable and fun
grandwitch Posted December 16, 2015 Author Posted December 16, 2015 I am looking for something less M4ish
Baz JJ Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 You've narrowed it down to four TM AEGs. Surely its down to external cosmetics now, so your personal choice ? What sort of feedback are you looking for ?
iBrowniee x Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 If you were going to get a mp5 I would recommend the: TM high cycle mp5 http://www.wolfarmouries.co.uk/airsoft/bb/product.asp?page=product&id=MP5HCYCLETM Or ICS mp5 MX5 pro http://www.wolfarmouries.co.uk/airsoft/bb/product.asp?page=product&id=ICS19
grandwitch Posted December 16, 2015 Author Posted December 16, 2015 I like MP5's but half the people seem to have them.
Supporters TheFull9 Posted December 16, 2015 Supporters Posted December 16, 2015 I'd start looking outside Wolf for starters (if you haven't already). Look at the stuff Land Warrior, Airsoft Zone and Pro Airsoft Supplies have in. The MP5 and P90 you've picked out are, it must be said, seriously dated guns. Well over a decade old designs, maybe pushing towards 20 years in some cases. If you want short, light and ideal for CQB start looking at the ASG Scorpion EVO. The old style basic TM AEGs are still decent and skirmishable for sure, but in terms of external resilience and internal quality and technology the Scorpion is miiiiiles ahead.
Head Moderator Jedi_Master Posted December 16, 2015 Head Moderator Posted December 16, 2015 If you are in the Reading area and can travel down to Portsmouth, then I would highly recommend going to the Combat South shop, http://www.combatsouth.co.uk They specialise in TM and ICS guns. There is an extensive choice (drop them an email or phone them to see what is in stock) and more than is posted on their website. You can get hands on and try many different models, and test fire on their small indoor range. I am also looking to get a small CQB back-up gun in the New Year, either MP5 or G3/HK53 model as I am old school and prefer the looks over newer guns.
grandwitch Posted December 16, 2015 Author Posted December 16, 2015 now the Scorpion EVO does look interesting
Supporters ImTriggerHappy Posted December 16, 2015 Supporters Posted December 16, 2015 FPS is way too high for my siteChange the spring then.
Supporters TheFull9 Posted December 16, 2015 Supporters Posted December 16, 2015 Pro Airsoft Supplies (for example) will change the spring to give a sub-350 muzzle energy at the point of sale if the gun is shooting hot; not a problem. Any other decent retailer should do just the same, I only mention PAS as they've done just that for me with a recent purchase so I can confirm it for a fact. Even if they didn't, changing the Scorpion spring is insanely easy, literally no experience or special skills required. Perun 1
Perun Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 g&g firehawk? Stubby, Cheap, reliable and fun But also as realistic as a paintball marker. Don't get me wrong, I respect that there is a million and one ways to play airsoft, speedsoft being one of them, but there are more than few airsofters who moved away from THE OTHER force-on-force sport to airsoft lured by the so called "realism". My point is - all those UIFs (Unrealistic Imitation Firearms - usually in the shape of barrels the size of cat's genitals attached to AR15 receivers) are not to everyone's taste. Eh, I am just a grumpy old git, I should just shut up Lozart 1
Iceni Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 Might be well off the ball here but what about the L85 AFV http://www.zerooneairsoft.com/product_info.php?products_id=6878It's never going to be a high cycle gun because of the blowback, but it will clack rather nicely. It's mostly metal including the body unlike most bullpups. And it has a far better inner barrel length than most of the CQB guns. It also uses M4 mags. And comes with a red dot sight that is shaped like a SUSAT.The big problem with them is to change the battery you need to unscrew someparts and it only has a small battery compartment. But you could just use a battery enclosure on the side.
Root Admin proffrink Posted December 17, 2015 Root Admin Posted December 17, 2015 Hmm, for that money I'd just grab a decent brand's GBB SMG - instant trigger response does help a bit plus they can be a lot smaller given that they don't have the limitations that come with AEG gearboxes. Perun 1
Supporters Sitting Duck Posted December 17, 2015 Supporters Posted December 17, 2015 G36c TM or ICS if you like folding stock, large mag, non-M4, ambi selector mp5 or mp5k but not a fan of the little stick mags (my aim is crap so need all the bb's I can get in a mag) just my thoughts - by now you got loads of options so go with whatever floats ya boat the most
i3666 Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 I have a Krytac Trident PDW and it is wicked for CQB. I only play CQB and it rocks!! Are you at The Mall on 10th Jan? I will be there, so you can have a look then.
Mr Monkey Nuts Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 it's a bit unfair to blame the gun for being clumsy. Lozart 1
Supporters Lozart Posted December 17, 2015 Supporters Posted December 17, 2015 it's a bit unfair to blame the gun for being clumsy. My thoughts exactly. I use a SCAR at the malls and it's fine. I've also used a full length m4, an m249 para and an m14 ebr... Jedi_Master 1
grandwitch Posted December 17, 2015 Author Posted December 17, 2015 OK I have decided to go with the Scorpion Evo. It means I can then upgrade my M4 and not worry about the FPS. Thanks for the advice.
Sacarathe Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 OK I have decided to go with the Scorpion Evo. It means I can then upgrade my M4 and not worry about the FPS. Thanks for the advice. But hopefully for more reasons than just because one person suggested it?
