I think you've made three very good choices there. I'm a fan of TM for their gbb pistols, and despite the problems I've had with my G&P (fussy with ammo and locking up with the low torque/high speed motor) I think it's great.
I'm keen to hear about your KP8 - haven't had any experience with KWA gbb's although I hear they're pretty good.
What I reeeeaally want to have a go on at the moment is a GBBR, like the WE open-bolt series.

yh, i can see why u would like to have a go with the we gbbr its awsome...
about the kp8... well lets say it wasnt as good as i expected... it will be going back to the retailer because of jams and misfiring like f*&%...
but i must admit the externals were fantastic. great feel and awsome slide. very crisp...
cheers for posting on this thread...

Tm's are amazing BUT ONLY if u keep them stock - as there low on power due to Japanese law - when u upgrade the parts ur removing most of the tm parts so in someways there an expensive base platform

G&G are great - pneumatic blowback is good as it doesn't have any mechanical Impact on the guns main parts

G&P are also very good

Echo1 are good - their xcr is amazing - just hard to get echo1 guns over here

Magpul pts are by far my favourite - and I'm not a typical magpul fan boy but their Acr/akm is amazingly ergonomic and the quick change barrel change & spring change is awesome - only real downside is the price but considering how well built they are and the quality of the internals - its easy to understand the average £400-450 price tag....

There are a few others that are good like my SRC gen 3 g36 and kwa...

So yea all in all ill be buying a Masada soon - should be awesome

Dont belive all you read in the mags gents, as i have never seen any review give a gun a slagging.i would always like to see and have a go on a gun before i buy if i can. if olny there was a airsoft shop in cornwall. road trip up country i feel soon
i have been playing for 15 years plus i have seen many sites come and go many manufactors come and go.
i would always say mauri reason being
sig 551
mp5k
ak spetsnaz
m4a1
psg1 (500 fps+) fully upgraded
m16
g36c
g36 with sl9 kit
plus others. never really had any problems with them. up graded spring a bushes on some the odd gear and motor go. but why do you really need to over power anythin? too many people want the gun running at 350 fps or what ever the limit is for that site. is does't mean you will play any better. if you shite you still will be. mauri have been around for a long time if they made crap people would go else where.
there new stuff is nice my mates have the new scar's and ak's recoil. have had a go on them i would say mint even if the price is steep.
other manufactors i have had are sun project m4a1 old bolt action rife is still going strong after many year it must be 12 years old top gun!!!
star. a lot of people slag them off but i had a g36k and a m249 minimi the g36 never played up at all. the minimi had mag problems but after a rebuild was ok.
i had a few of the chinese copyies when they first came over xm8 m16 but they were shite!!!! but now they seam some good guns are coming over from them.
the new stuff. i must admit i am with liam with the massada, they look mint but are they? some of my old mate had them and got rid of them because they were shite. hop up problems and othe issues so they went for the scars and never looked back. having said that one has still his and spent a far few quid on it and its running sweet as a nut.but lots of bucks been spent putting it right. hopefully it will be down in my hand in the next few weeks

I agree with disco.

To be fair, TM have rested on their laurels - mainly with good reason. But just because a brand isn't known, or is one the "scene" don't like doesn't meant the gun will be useless... and of course, even TM have made some shit in the past so it works both ways.

Anyway, they're airsoft guns. They go wrong, it's part of the game... right?
