Backup pistol or extra mag for normal pistol

[nj76291]

So I have a WE G17 pistol.

 

Should I get a extra mag for it, or a mid range backup gbb pistol to go along with the WE pistol.

 

(I only have 1 magazine for the WE pistol.)

do you currently use the pistol in game and run out of ammo?

Yes I do, and I have to either find a safe place to reload with a speedloader, or just go back to respawn to fill up gas again.

then buy a couple of spare mags. A second pistol is not "needed". Do you only use a pistol or do you have an AEG too?

Just the pistol at the moment, I hope to get a AEG in the future.

then def don't waste money on a second pistol. maybe instead of a standard mag by a 50 round extended mag?

I don't have much tactical clothing, so the extended mag might stick out of my camo jacket? I find that the standard mag fits just alright in my pocket. Does it have much of a difference in weight than a standard mag?

or a couple of mags - only £18 each

I suppose I could get a few, they are quite cheap. (compared to the backup pistol)

That would be the one I would get most likely. I like to keep the same branding if it came to purchasing one. I think TM mags are compatible. But I will just stay with WE for this purchase.

You aren't Reaper (in overwatch) I think its fair to say its cheaper and just easier to carry spare mags rather than a whole other pistol. My experience of dual wielding was it was pointless as I can't focus on both and keep them inline and accuracy without two hands is substantially worse so the only benefit is a slightly faster reload, at the cost of a lot of weight. Just get the spare mags.

I suppose added the added weight could slow me down. I am just going to get some mags now :-)

Another pistol... It's all about eggs in the basket, and after all, it's Airsoft. Something will stop working eventually.
