Cr0-Magnon Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I hesitate to use the term "best" when asking about airsoft guns as I know it's almost completely subjective. However... from people's experiences, which Marui GBB pistol performs the most reliably in cooler weather? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heroshark Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 USP compact in my experience. Haven't tried it but I imagine the G19 would be much the same. Combination of the shorter/lighter slide, 15mm bbu, and not the biggest but a reasonable size gas reservoir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cr0-Magnon Posted November 12, 2019 Author Share Posted November 12, 2019 In terms of looks and size I had narrowed it down to G19, Hi-Capa 4.3 or PX4. As you mention though, the G19 is both the most recent design and I should imagine has the lightest slide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heroshark Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I actually left the 4.3 for the hk45. Then got the usp compact, which is even better. I imagine the G19 will definitely do the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bada Bing Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I’ve done brief tests with the G19, HK45 and USP9 full size in the snow and they all completed a magazine and lock on empty. Here’s a little video I put together from last winter. Ultimately if you keep your magazines warm, they should be alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heroshark Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 I use nuprol black or guarder black gas in close to/minus temp. As seen they do operate on green but it brings the performance up to like it was running on normal day. I also find the 9ball routes and lees precision engineering route shims a good efficiency/consistency boost. Nice barrel in there possibly hop if you are that way inclined and you are laughing.

Cr0-Magnon Posted November 14, 2019 Author Share Posted November 14, 2019 Appreciate the tips, I will likely leave it stock though. Being Marui I'm sure the range is ample as is and I have several pistols. This ones job will just to be light, compact and dependable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heroshark Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 It will perform admirably with out. These upgrades are not essential but do give a good boost without effecting the tm cold weather efficiency like many other after market upgrades do if you fancy it. And when running in the cold you'll notice the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get ready to boo but I have a Novritsch SSX23, people have shot at me with an AEG and fallen about 15 metres short, I've then returned fire with it and hit them square in the chest.

heroshark Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Mk23 is another kettle of fish when it comes to range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigStew Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Mk23 is the best as already said. Generaly the bigger the gas reservoir and new the model the better. I have had good use out of the hk45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunter511 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 TM 'Double stack' style mags IMO perform better than TM 1911 mags. At a certain point anything not nbb is going to start suffering to be fair. I'll be using my FNX rather than my 1911 til spring I suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steveocee Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Used my GM yesterday, it was milder than it has been but still about 6-7 degrees in the woods. Managed to get about 15-16 shots off from a fully gassed up mag before they started dropping off, you could hear from the start that it was a bit bogged down and not as snappy as normal. Weirdly my 5.1 mag didn't hold up as well as my two 4.3 mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red would be fine in the colder months as its pressure will fall to the level of what Green Gas is at a normal temperature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I concure. Just chrono it and if it's over 300 use a lower power gas. TMs are built for 300 FPS pretty much so as long as they don't shoot over they are using the correct pressure for the temperature. This is assuming stock TM parts etc. My TM hi-capa is running abbey vertex gas currently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
