When I was looking at getting a new airsoft rifle I wanted one that would last a few years so it needed to be well built. I ended up with two choices, the Krytac and TM Recoil.
I ended up buying a Krytac Warsport LVOA so thought I'd run through why I got it and not the TM.
My decision was based on a number of things.
Both are great out of the box. (I have fired both but not gamed with a TM.) They are accurate out to game ranges and both feel rugged and like they will last along while. The TMs fire at below 300 with the UK Krytacs firing around 310. Both have superb hop units.
However, the Krytac has a mosfet installed and I found the trigger quick and responsive. Yeah, I know you can fit a Spectre to the TM but its an additional expense (see my thoughts below) and they are difficult to get hold of.
The Krytac comes Lipo ready. The TM needed a wiring conversion. Another additional expense.
The TM has recoil and empty mag cutout. The Krytac doesn't.
The Krytac didn't need any specific mags. I have a ton of M4 mags and my daughter and gaming buddies all run standard M4 mags so I didn't need to buy anymore. The TM needed me to buy specific mags. I run with a minimum of 6 spare mags so that was an additional cost. I thought about buying a mag adapter for the TM but then the cut out doesn't work.
The Krytac is upgradeable with minimal fuss or cost. I'm looking at upgrading the spring to a M100 or M110. Its just the cost of a spring. The TM is a bit more indepth and you are likely to need new gears etc if you upgrade the spring. The Krytacs just had the spring and motor downgraded for the European market.
Lookwise the Krytac won purely on the fact I have always wanted a Warsport LVOA. It is an aquired taste. If you want a block I or II M4 look then the Krytac will cost additional expense.
In the end it came down to two guns with similar performance but one with recoil and empty mag cutout. But at a cost.
A basic loadout for me was
KRYTAC LVOA £350 odd pound. I already had batteries, mags and charger.
TM Recoil £440 odd pounds. Mags £120. Battery conversion. £20. Total £580.
The above doesn't take into account upgrades to bring the weapons up to 330-350 FPS. Krytac would be £10 for a spring. TM would be substantially more as I didn't feel comfortable stripping it down and replacing spring and gears and would have to send it to a tech.
So it boiled down to cost for me. Recoil and the mag cut out wasn't worth £230.
Like I said, they are both fantastic performers but I have no regrets buying the Krytac.
