Finally I got some time to write these reviews. I didnt think my 1911-M1 needed a review because in the words of Ed "It shoots." Thats all I can say. But as for the rest of my little stock pile heres the deal:
1. TM XM177-E2 Upgraded 350 FPS- WOW! I LOVE this gun. Nice and compact, feather lite (mostly plastic so I have to be careful), and really accurate! The EG 700 Motor reduces it's ROF a bit but what it lakes in ROF it makes up with power. My friend HiGhGrOuNd#1 felt a burst from the XM from about 15-20 yards away and he he had a sweater on with a few shirts on underneath and he still let out a yelp, so I'm very happy with its performance. Pretty much the only downers are the ROF and the plastic. The ROF I can deal with but I have to baby the gun and make sure I dont hit it on anything, so I may be buying some metal components for it in the future. The Mil-Tech Tactical 3 point sling is great. It adjusts to you as you put it on and feels like its not there. It keeps the stock of the gun snug to my shoulder so I can snap it up in an instant. The magazine thigh pouch (the one from airsoftshop it didnt come in a branded box) is great! You can even adjust it to hold about 4 MP5 mags, with the help of cross over velcro straps to change formation of the pouch and keep everything snug inside.
2. AE MP5-A5 V1... Well it isnt as good as a CA or TM MP5 but it's ok. The highcap mag wouldnt feed so I had to buy some standard TM mags. Now the gun works fine and why I dont see why everyone badmouths AE guns I think it's handy in CQB because of the ROF but it's not good for outdoors because of its lack of range. I shot my sisters friend (it was a guy) in the leg because he wanted to know what it felt like. I was about 5 yards away and he was hurting even with baggy pants on, so I think I'll hold on to it for CQB, but it will never surpass a nice CA or TM gun. I taped the two mags together (one upsidedown) and that works fine for me. Nice fast reload and you dont have to pay for those dual magazine clamps. I dont really go prone but if you do I dont recomend tapeing your mags because the dirt will get in your mag and all over the bbs. The CA Tactical 3 Point Sling I got was confuseing at first but works like a charm once you hook it up. The day my new stuff came for the A5 me and some friends had a few small games and it was easy to drop the A5 and wip out my 226 or slide the A5 on my back to hop over my brick wall by the garage. Doesnt get in the way at all, so its a good buy for the MP5 user.
3. KWC SIG P-226 GBB, This gun has its difficulties. It's a nice gun and looks and feels great but the gas valve is on such an angle that you dont know if your getting the gas in or not so when it comes to game time and you need your sidearm, you may or may not be screwed. So if you were willing to go through a lot of gas cans its worth the money. The range is great and I'm not sure what the FPS but it hurts (hehe Tommy dont shoot my screen porch again!). I kinda wish this gun had a slidelock for when the mag is out, just for looks but I can deal with it.
If there are any questions about these guns (the reviews are kinda sketchy I've never done this before) please ask me and I'll do the best I can to answer them.
