any input pros and cons would bbe appreciated!

 

Well surely, your first question should be "do your local sites have an irrational fear of HPA/CO2?"

And the new laws are not clear about HPA.

But the bottom line is: you have to decide yourself. Both have strong and weak points. Neither will you make a better sniper. If you want easy bolt pull but more preparation and stuff needed then mancraft it. If you want just grab the gun and go but stiffer bolt pull then spring ftw. Both will shoot the BBs the same distance and accuracy.

my mate has the Wolverine VSR version and it is a beast, way out ranges my spring VSR. Both on similar fps and with the same hop set up.

It's just air, nothing magical happens there. If you push the same amount of air out of the nozzle, it will have the same effect.

I can only comment on experience, mine runs out of go at 90m, his has carried on to over 120m (not with accuracy but he has 30m extra range than I do and we have the same hop unit.

some sites don't allow HPA/CO2 guns as they are worried folk will run hot guns

 

Actually I was referring to those which believe that an AEG spring has more consistent compression than a regulator. :P

 

It's irrational because you chrono 350 over and over, it won't change, but some site organisers think it will (fire support for one).
