These are semi automatic weapons. Although they are not seen frequently, they do see use as sidearms. The general rumour is that the speed and power of these weapons slightly exceeds those of their Blow back counterparts as minimal gas is used to cycle to the next round. These will not allow most players to compete effectively in a skirmish.

I would prefer a GBB for the realism.
The new AEPs seem like a great alternative, but no Colts are out yet.

Try harder. Try harder next time, try harder the time after that.
