I have to agree with PestoBanana. In airsoft guns, the "kick" is gimmicky. And they aren't all equal. Some push forward instead of back, which is odd, and some vary in kick strength. I have yet to feel one that impressed me. If all around performance, accuracy and reliability is your thing, get a high end AEG and upgrade it accordingly. You can get a Polar-Star engine for it if you like, though they are becoming unpopular at some fields. GBBRs are near, but gas leaking, unreliability in hot or cold and the fact they can jump up ten, twenty, thirty plus FPS makes them suspect.

If you're dead set on a recoil type, well, you know what your choices are and you know what the ups and downs are. I personally haven't used the Tippman, but I'm hearing far more negatives than positives since its release. Personally I'd never run a gun that has me hauling around CO2 cartridges or a tank and line as that is counterintuitive to airsoft. To each their own.

Buy the one that has the best longevity versus parts support/upgrades.
