The reason the mags are expensive is because its a gas gun the mags have alot of parts and have to be sturdy meatal to hold up under pressure.
The aeg version is expensive because all the parts are inside the gun.
A good gas gun tends to be about the same price or cheaper then a good electric gun but the mags are expensive. Gas guns are seccond to none for realisim but electric is reliable and more consistant. The mp7 is great for indoors but youll want a rifle for outdoors.
