Id say for reliability they are about equal depending of course on the brand. But comparably a TM AEG would be just as reliable as a TM GBB. But if they were to break down it would be easier to get parts for a aeg.

Propane all the way. Dont waste your time and money on cans of green gas. Its just propane disguised as green gas with a bit of oil pre mixed in it.

lol taking all of these things into consideration, its a very hard choice to make, maybe i shouldnt play until ive got the money to get a main and side-arm, and know more about the proper maintenance of the guns and the rules of the game

Pistols are very fun to shoot, but are not even near the top of the list of things to buy first.

yea, true, i just went looking on 007 airsoft for AEGs by tokyo marui, and i found what i want as my main weapon.

but i also saw a TM G18c for 150 bucks... im hesitant to get that, because alot of people say "you get what you pay for" the capacity was also only 15 shots, anybody know if this is a good deal? or is there a better model?

There are two types of electric pistols. The AEPs are reliable pistols that shoot at CBQ speeds (250ish fps with 0.20) and the EBBs which are horrible pieces of shit (a straw and a pair of lungs out perform these).

The gun you found is the latter type. Avoid like the plague!

Rule of thumb, if it costs under 300$, in most cases run away!

lol thanks, another helpful tip ill remember to look for AEP and not EBB

yea, true though, cuz i cant play at most evens until im 18... ive read some event notices and it seems that only sometimes they let 16 yr olds play... seeing as im turning 17 in sept.. i think it wont be so hard to wait, in the mean time, i can get my drivers license and practice with the guns in my back yard until im old enough, and maybe buy a couple of those clearsoft ones to practice with my friends

propane is NOT green gas, Yes the main components are the same but that is it. The additives are made for different uses ex. propane has things in it that help it burn better, this can eat away at plastic. the pressure is WAY different ex. propane stoves need a high pressure source to run so when you put that in your gun it will make your gun shoot faster but if your parts are not strong enough they will eventually break. So most guns with a metal slide can take propane, however apparently some of the newer tm gbbs can take propane stock such as the p226. Im about to get a NIB tm p226 and im going to run prop. on it from the start and see how it goes. RUN IT TILL YA BREAK IT BOYS

Don't try to explain things that you don't understand.
