Supporters Liam Porter Posted June 26, 2011 Supporters Share Posted June 26, 2011 Okay, so I decided I can spend a little more money than an AEP on a sidearm (well, I won't be paying anymore ). Anyway, what's a suitable pistol side arm for me to use with my sniper. I'm looking for something reliable, that will perform relatively well no matter what the weather conditions, one that is not too expensive as my dad has offered to pay for it. Would preferably like one that comes with a speed loader, and it can't exceed 345 fps. One's I really like are M9s and M1911s, kinda like the Glocks, but not the small stubby ones. I was also wondering how a gas pistol works.. I mean I know literally nothing. Could you please answer these? Thanks. What's the best pistol for me to get, not too much over £100 please? How do you put the gas in? I seen someone putting gas in the magazine? What gas would I need to buy that's reliable? Link to it would be very helpful so I know what I'm after Any other advice that would help me out? Thanks a lot, I really hope this makes enough sense for you to read it, I'm so tired..

Supporters M_P Posted June 26, 2011 Supporters Share Posted June 26, 2011 get a marui, its worth it. As a sniper I'd get a tm mk23 socom, quieter than silence- and im not joking Failing that a marui hicapa or 1911 is a good choice- sadly their m9 has a fixed hop they are made to be ran on 134a gas, but in british wheather, green gas or propane seems to work ok. just google green gas Yeah gas goe in the magazines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Liam Porter Posted June 26, 2011 Author Supporters Share Posted June 26, 2011 Thanks, quite like the look of the hi-capas actually, much difference in the 4.3 and 5.1, or just looks? And how do the pistols actually for if the gas goes in the mag? So confused :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters M_P Posted June 26, 2011 Supporters Share Posted June 26, 2011 more or less just appearance. there is basically a small 'hole' on the bottom of the mag, just press the nozel of the gas can into it till its full- simples Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Liam Porter Posted June 26, 2011 Author Supporters Share Posted June 26, 2011 Oh, that's nothing too difficult for me to manage How's maintenance on them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters M_P Posted June 26, 2011 Supporters Share Posted June 26, 2011 keep it lubed etc including mags- oh and keep the mags with a little gas in them whilst not in use when storing etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Liam Porter Posted June 26, 2011 Author Supporters Share Posted June 26, 2011 What lube? 100% silicon, yeah? EDIT: Also, I heard that plastic TM pistols are better/more reliable than the full metal ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Rock-climby-Dave Posted June 27, 2011 Supporters Share Posted June 27, 2011 yup, 100% silicone TM pistols are more reliable than SOME other full metal ones. an airsoft surgeon hi-capa is going to be more reliable than a Marui, but you spend £1000 on it. If in doubt, go marui Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Liam Porter Posted June 27, 2011 Author Supporters Share Posted June 27, 2011 Am I better off getting a TM plastic or aTM metal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters M_P Posted June 27, 2011 Supporters Share Posted June 27, 2011 Plastic anyday, ones with metal slides are less gas efficient, but do have more kick, the tm plastic is brilliant anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one What gas is best to use for it, seeing it's plastic? I heard that the plastic cracks if you use certain gases? And do you have to use green gas on first use or something? Thanks.

Supporters M_P Posted June 27, 2011 Supporters Share Posted June 27, 2011 its a good choice use 134a to be safe, its what tm pistols are originally designed for, though they tend to be ok on stronger if u use a too powerful gas then it could, in the uk i doubt itd happen unless it was a really hot day not as far as I know..... id just use abbey ultra or 134a if I were u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tungsten Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Tokyo Marui Tokyo Marui Tokyo Marui Tokyo Marui Tokyo Marui Tokyo Marui. I own a Tokyo Marui Foliage Warrior, when I say its accurate, its god damn accurate, lol. I can't wait to get Tritium night sights for it! The marui plastics are very rigid, which won't put you off full plastic. If you ever want a full metal parts though you can look on www.eliteshootingcentre.co.uk.
