Admittedly, I have 2 Crosman Pulse M70's and a Pulse 50 which are great for safe, low velocity, short ranged plinking. They were a great little toy to get introduced to the sport but are severely lacking against any "real" airsoft guns.
The M70's are full auto, easily modifiable mini-AEG's "meaning you can re-wire them for other batteries". They have a capacity of 80+ rounds, which are gravity fed "what a joke". They’re a cheaper and better alternative to the faulty R32 and R34, and being full-auto, they give you a chance in close quarters battles. If you get a chance, take apart your little handgun and look at the advertised "hop-up". A rubber seal is not hop-up. This means that you are spending $59.99 U.S. for the R34, or in Canada, a 200% markup at $120. The R34 will be very inaccurate at anything past 20 feet with a non-existent hop-up.
You can get a TM MP5K for ~$330, plus stick battery, charger, discharger for ~$130. Add a few bags of ammo and you are looking at around ~$520+ dollars with s/h. This may seem like a lot but it is an investment that will last for years, compared to the months that a springer will last you in combat conditions. Plus a TM gun actually has a real hop-up greatly increasing your guns usability. AND double plus, TM guns may be plastic parted but they are made from much higher quality impact resilient plastic then the toy plastic that is found in the R34.
What I personally feel about Crosman products is that they do show use for gaming. If the friends that you are playing against are only using Crosman products too, then the gamers will be fun and equally balanced, if not only a little underpowered. Walk up against a full-auto AEG in a game of range and accuracy, kiss you arse good-bye.
-Daes-
-I registered just to answer this post... Good ol' Crosman and their misleading "hop-up".
