I have a GHK G5, which has performed flawlessly over about 7500 rounds fired and despite having been dropped in the mud, bled upon, playing in the cold rain and blazing heat, and being fed only Coleman propane (I do clean and maintain it - but it has never failed me in adverse game conditions)  Highly recommend.  I recently acquired a TM MWS, which is much "nicer" in pretty much every way.  If you don't want to spend a ton, though, the G5 is a great option and very fun to play with.  It is also extremely light, which is nice over the course of a long day at the field!

I agree with @OrangeTJ G5 (as long as it’s a gen2) is superb starter gbb, reliable, light, fun

I'm leaning over to the TM MP7, with the cost-benefic relationship for now.

Can the MP7 run a drum mag? I'm only finding for HPA tapped guns.

Also, what gas do you recomend runnig on it? And same gas all year round or different gases according to temperature?

I managed to bag a MWS from the classified section here. It’s my first GBBR and I wanted something which I could use out of the box and with no headaches. As many people already know I’m a Marui recoil fan boy but I have to admit there is something about the MWS that’s making me grin like the Cheshire Cat. It just feels quality when you hold it. From the cerakote finish to the clang of the bolt. It’s immersive. It’s light to carry too less than 3kg. Only drawback is the mags. They are at the moment rare as rocking horse poop and sell out fast. Probably due to Covid supply chain issues. They cost £50 a pop and hold 35 rounds. I managed to buy a few and goodness they have cost me the same amount as the rifle! 
 

I’ll be running Abbey Ultra through them for the time being until I get more confidence to switch over to propane. 
 

Bada Bing Pictures was the chap whose youtube reviews made me want to buy one. I’ll see how I get on this weekend when I take her out for a spin.

dont buy anything KWA in general. 

Unless it’s a Kriss Vector. That is still probably the best Gbbr.

Errr, define best? Most iconic? Maybe. Best performing? Absolutely not, I’m a massive fan but it’s not a patch on the MWS

Absolutely, positively DO NOT buy one until you've held one.

It's not a 1:1 replica and, for me at least as a result, the ergonomics are shite.

I bought one without getting hold of one first. 

Took it out of the box when it arrived. Put it back in the box in utter disappointment and sent it straight back...

I swapped a magnesium bodied, systema internalled PSG-1 for a KWA vector listening to people go on about how amazing they are. It is utterly shite and one of the worst decisions I’ve ever made. Wouldn’t have one given to me.

Im assuming your Vector isnt standard.

 

Ive owned around 20 KWA’s now, and none have come anywhere near the MWS platform in standard trim

True, but none of my stuff remains stock the next day I buy it - that does not prove anything. There’s a lot of platforms where you can put any amount of money into and still shoots like shit, Kriss isn’t one of them.

Since it’s interesting to me, can you describe your experience with KV? What was wrong with it etc?

Care to share why you’ve done, either here or the FB page, keen to improve the efficiency of mine ??
