: from my experience with the Mp5,  it lobbed the bbs about 40 feet,  and you : could tell the velocity fell as soon as it left the muzzle :                                      ~^v{Jeff}v^~             I assume the mp5 in question was either a 1:3 scale toy version or was otherwise defective.  I have an airsoft electric Colt XM177E2 (M16 variant) manufactured by Tokyo Marui that shoots 5 groups at 75 feet, and it chronos at 280 fps.  It runs on an 8.4V rechargeable nicad.  I've also got a toy 1:3 scale MP5 that runs on 4 AA batteries which performs nowhere near as well but is still fun to shoot. Airsoft performance varies greatly depending on power source (electric, gas, or single-shot spring), barrel length, hop-up (backspin mechanism), and cost.  Expect a full-auto electric airsoft replica from Tokyo Marui to cost at least $300, plus battery and charger ($75). ...

500 can......hmm...ive gotta be looking in the wrong place.....does that come with the charger and battery?

more than that....the steyr aug i was looking at was around 500$.... Dang!  Where are you looking?  I can pick up a Tokyo Marui electro Steyr Aug for $500 *Canadian*. Take care of yourself... Alan. Piranha Owner's Group #80 OSOK #191

500 can......hmm...ive gotta be looking in the wrong place.....does that come with the charger and battery? I don't know, I didn't check... but the charger and battery couldn't possibly run $250 alone, could they? Take care of yourself... Alan. Piranha Owner's Group #80 OSOK #191
