ok, so I'm not new to replica guns, bu not extremly familiar with Airsoft

i mostly use Airguns and pellet guns, for targe practice and small game hunting, cept indoors, yah, using a 600fps+ weapon indoors with .22 cal bullets, rifled barrel and needle nose bullets. yah,well it leaves a nice hole in pretty much anything.

I usually order my guns from aigther Crosman, Beeman and Walther.

now all 3 makes kickass airgun and pellet guns, but the airsoft of crosman is greatly disapointing. cheap flimsy plastic. I did try a few out, there actually not half ass bad, but brake if not handled with care. something I dun have.

So what I'm looking for is a indoor/outdoor GBB airsoft pistol.

now for all my airguns, I used CO2, so I buy my boxes in packs of 50 cartriges at a shot, going at .25 cents a cartrige. (and I have also acumulated alot of canadian tire cash at the same time XD)

I was reading a bunch or reviews for the KWC Sigma 40 and KWC Desert Eagle CO2 version. they both seem like nice picks, but upon rreading you get 40-50 shots per CO2 cartrige taht seems kinda low, like 1 clip a catrige O.o. seems a bit excesive, mind you my Pellet guns arn't blow back, (cept for the PPK) but they can last 200+ shots per catrige at 500fps-600fps (the ppk gives out about 90 shots sicne it's a GBB BB gun) I would liek to keep the ability to stick to CO2 catriges to preventbuying a hole bunch of diferent types of gas. since the more i buy the cheaoper they get, for aexample a pack of 100 co2 powerlets comes to 9 cents a powerlet.

now, I also read about the fact you can use propane tanks to fill up your gun, whcih seems like a nice alternative to the hard to get green gas. but can you use propane with HFC134a build gun. some places said yes, some others say no, some others say your own risk.

has any one tried it and saw it work with succes?

now, gun seletion wise, I wnjoy the ones that come with th accessories, so I ofthen shop at the ones who come with a rail moun on top and buttom. I used to scopes on pistols, so I would enjoy a pistol which could mount a stock and scope. but the stock really isn't all that important.

For a pistol, I mostly look at high customization levels, as it can take a scope, mount, laser and such, but mostly a scope/dot sight.

im also a Walther Lover, duno if it's a james bond thing, (I never really watched them), but I just love the walter guns, especally the grip on the P99, I also like the Colt 1911, Colt Anaconda, as for rifles, my hearth is for the MP7 and G36C.

now thsi is one taht has cought my eye
http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/?filn...ac3_review.htm

the review states it uses HFC134a gas, so could I grab a propane adapter and easily make it work with this? and has anyone trie it and can you tell me how solid is this weapon?

next is the KWC sigma

http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/?filn...gma_review.htm

as I mentoned the 40-50 shot per powerlet is a real turn off, and it doesn't metion is you can adjust it so it doesn't blow back to save gas. and at 450fps will it be as destructive as my pellet pistol which is a similar power of 490fps. cause thi gun can blow a hoel trough the dry wall, into a room, across the room, and lodg itself in the drywal in teh next room. in other words, wha ever I shoot at, it's gona have a nice hole or chip, causeI was easily able to chip the bricks on the house at 20 feet. so is it just the fact is uses plastic BB's make i all taht much safer and less lethal?

also I knwo you can order from Airsoft Canada, and about how long is the wait time, to orde and the wait time to ship? and how big is the price inflation when importing precentage wise?

and I guess taht's about it, I don't really plan to go to meetings or airsoft recration events, bu just for back yard indoor use to keep up pracicing.
