Ajax Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 Hi all. I am thinking of buying g18c style pistol. Which manufacturer would you recommend? WE? TM? KJW....etc.... Thank you.
Supporters Prisce Posted March 10, 2019 Supporters Posted March 10, 2019 Tm out of those, but the best would be an upgraded WE tapped for HPA. My team mates one is vicious.
Asomodai Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 I'd argue there is no perfect G18c. The TM has the best performance but suffers from light striking on full auto. The WE doesn't have the TM performance but could be bullied with some upgrade parts.
Ajax Posted March 10, 2019 Author Posted March 10, 2019 Great thank you for your help. Quick question how TM mags get on Green Gas? Will they have same issues as TM mk23? Also any views on KJW KP18? Any good?
Wo1f Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 My Tm G18c mags have no issues with propane unlike mk23 mags.
Burny Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 I might be way off here, but I seem to remember the AEP version of TM's G18c getting good reviews.
Dentonboy Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 Tokyo Marui is the way to go here, and I too believe that the AEP is alright too.
adox Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 I heard that the TM G18C is great too. However, I also heard that spare mags for it are extremely hard to come by.

BigStew Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 The WE mags are clones of the TMs 1 hour ago, adox said: I heard that the TM G18C is great too.

Nick G Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 My WE G18c with Maple Leaf hop and crazy jet is an awesome performer. I run it on red gas all year round and have had no issues with it.
Wo1f Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 Army, WE and obviously TM mags all work in my TM G18c
Ajax Posted March 10, 2019 Author Posted March 10, 2019 Ok so TM is the best. But is it c.£40 better then WE? Comparing prices WE is c.£100 and TW c.£140. Also what upgrades would you recommend to WE? Thank you all for your replies.
Wo1f Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 I owned a WE G18c before I owned a TM one. It became the joke gun me and my brother would use as challenges for CQB because it couldn’t hit the size of a barn door at 10 meters. To make it shoot well you’ll need to change the hop bucking at the very least. Even then, it won’t be as snappy or efficient as a plastic slide TM. My WE is in a box in bits now. Died on me and I’ve no desire to fix it
E21A Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 But the WE, fit £40 maple leaf hop/barrel set and laugh at crying TM owners. ?

I am in no way a TM fan boy but TM pistols are way better than anything else. WE glocks are definitely one of the better WE pistols but if you just want to buy something that works with no need to mess get a TM.

Ajax Posted March 10, 2019 Author Posted March 10, 2019 One last question. Will use of green gas like Nuprol 2.0 increase wear and tear in TM. Do you change to Duster gas on summer or is it not really important? Thank you.
Wo1f Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 I run mine on propane all year round. It’s not recommended but I’ve never had any issues on any of my TM’s.

They like the cold just fine, it’s green gas that doesn’t. Bonus that it’s not made of cheap, shiny, hard plastic. 25 minutes ago, ImTriggerHappy said: Crying with laughter? Bore off

Never mind the fact the internals are no where near as good and neither is the gas efficiency. As for bore off if you make daft comments expect daft comments back. 12 minutes ago, Wo1f said: I run mine on propane all year round.

Clearly never compared the 2! Sure the WE isnt the best plastic (vfc one is) but it’s miles better that the hard scratchy shit TM use. Its a perfectly valid comment based on my actual comparaison of the 2 pistols I own, and the TM owners I’ve outraged with the WE on several occasions.

Nope have compared the 2 and neither company uses great quality materials, always stated that TM uses crap materials in all their guns. Only one that is half decent for material quality is the MWS range. Difference is TM know how to put average stuff together really well. WE stuff just breaks all the time. The glock is one of their better ones but they still break a lot. I would never recommend any gun that is known to have reliability issues.
