GBB and its gas

Goodriddance · August 10th, 2005, 12:46

Heya
Im thinking of buying a GBB, either a TM Desert Eagle or a TM Glock 26.
I've never owned a GBB gun and I'd like to know how long a little canister of gas lasts. I know you can get about 100 shots off before refilling, but Id like to know about how many times you can refill.

Also, in your guys' opinions, which of the stated guns would you go for?

Thanks for the help.

I've got a KJ G23 and I get about 1000-1500 shots on a cylinder of propane, about 30-40 shots per fill, never gotten even close to 100

30/40 or 100, makes no difference. I just read that on a review. Good to know that you get at least a thousand shots from a cylinder of gas. Thanks.

Anyone have any recommendations as to which gun I should buy?

Both are good guns. Depending on the mag/gun, you can get anywhere between 20 and 100 rounds off of a full fill. The G26 is around 30 I believe and the DE is higher at around 45. How many times you can fill a mag up on a bottle of propane depends on the capacity of the mag and the size of the bottle. I mean, it's pretty simple math, find out how voluminous your mags are and divide the quantity of the gas by it.

Are you talking about the desert eagle hardkick? From what iv'e been reading, the gun has a nice feel, a nice kick, a nice sound but the weight and size aren't exactly ideal for playing at games, but you said it's not for gaming so i'd go with the eagle, and replace the slide with a metal one

I have a Glock 26 on the way from Tru..

I went by this article:

Arnies Review 1

And this one:

Arnies Review 2

I am using as a secondary only, so with two extra mags it shold be good if my primary AEG jams of dies in the feild.
