Help me spend my money wisely...... On a gas rifle (Maybe!)

For reference, the Tippmann's hop is not so good.

Correct, the Tippman standard hop is diabolical, every owner will tell you to just buy and install the TTRtec TDC mod straight away to fix the issue. 

Its a little over £10 and will transform the gun.

So I've been looking at stuff that might be okay out of the box

Whilst the Tippmann's hop can definitely be upgraded, it would unfortunately require messing around internally to do that which is why I didn't recommend it given the above quote from the OP. But yes, once that hop is changed, the Tippmann is definitely a competitor :)

I still wouldn't recommend it though as I am not a fan of HPA. I like 'realism' (to an extent) and having a tank/hose strapped to the gun defeats that for me  :lol:

 
Before I start preaching about the almighty MWS...

the tipman man is a very reliable platform and I love the idea of the 80rd mags, although I imagine they are run with that evil HPA line. In terms of performance (range/accuracy) they’re not the best, but like everything can be made to shoot as well as most. 

Ive had 3 GHK’s.. I no longer have any GHk’s.. take from that what you will. There’s nothing inherently wrong with them and they’re built well, but their performance isn’t as good as I’d like. 

The MWS out of the box was more accurate and shot further than any airsoft gun I’ve ever owned. I’ve got 2. One a 10.5” CASV and a DMR. They do everything I’ve asked them to do, whether it be fast pace CQB or taking someone out over 70m away at Anzio. Since then I’ve bought an asg skorpion I shot once and don’t want, a secutor shotgun I shot once and don’t want, kwa vector I’ve shot once and don’t want... nothing measures up to them for me personally. 

If you can get on it, here’s my write up on it.

to add, I’m taking my rangefinder out with me this weekend and getting some accurate readings of what my guns are shooting. I’ll report back with my findings.

Worrying about the range of a TM MWS is wasted time. 

They fly out... Far out... 

Never doubt the Marui Pixie Dust. 

 
You don’t seem to know what you want (which is fair enough as the choice is staggering). If you want the least amount of fuss, decide on the style of gun you want and buy an AEG version. For the most part they all shoot pretty comparatively. 

If you want the realism with the performance than any of the GBBR’s I’ve mentioned.

You're right. I don't know 100% what I want.

And being stuck in a room with nothing but the internet for company is driving me a little mental.
I read and research, then think I've got it nailed. Then read something else and change my mind.
Maybe I should just buy lots of different pistols. lol
I think the MWS seems to tick the boxes, especially if the out of the box range is good.
I suppose I'm just balking at the magazine price (and scarcity), having just shelled out £118 for two g5 mags. Shame I can't use them.
I appreciate all the advice from everyone, it's much appreciated! :D

 
I am sure eBay would generate a return on your mags. Gas mags do not usually hang around as most GBBR users just want "one more..." 

 
Mws mags are much cheaper than GHK mags. I think I paid £35 for mine. I bought 3 and I got a mag with each of the two guns obviously 

 
£42 is the lowest I've found now. Beats £57 for the G5 for sure!
And at the moment, I have a TM MWS and MK23 in my basket at Camoraids.
Am just waiting on my site confirming defence so I can grab em....
Although, knowing me, I'll have changed my mind again by the time they do......

Best decision you’ll ever make. Was camp raids cheapest for mags?

Lol - thank you :D Just hope they still have them when the email confirming my site membership goes through.
They've not got any mags in for either, but was cheapest for the pair of guns.
Not sure where to get the mags.

 
They’ve gone up in price. I got mine from surplus store for £430 and £35 for mags. Me and Dave need to stop going on about them in the hopes they drop in price lol. 

Fire-support have mags for about £44 I believe 

 
So whilst sat here, I've been trying to sort out ordering from somewhere and finally have managed it.
One MWS ordered from CAMO and two mags ordered from Zero One.
I've had to forgo the Mk23 for the moment - I figure I'll ask for that from the kids for my b'day :D

Hopefully we should be out of here in time for me to skirmish with it next Sunday........

 
Epic!

If you break that I think you just should get a Mac D straw!

 
Hope you got your money back on your previous GBBR. 

Good call... 

... Just taken you four pages to get there.
