AEP Primary Practicality

[Chippy]

I had a spring taurus pt24 7 springer that was more accurate than my friends CA...

Barrel length can have a minor affect on accuracy, but it is usually pretty negligible. The quality of the barrel is more important than the length; and the bucking, nub, BBs, and chamber are far more important than the barrel. As for your example, my old P90 was more accurate than either the AGM or the CA M14s that I have owned.

Did it have better range?

I think having an AEP as your primary would be a huge mistake. While I love my TM Glock and it has nice range I would never consider using it as a primary field gun.

I have to disagree with Smitty about the battery upgrade though. SteevoLS, Diesel, and myself all have lipo's for our AEP's and the things kick ass. The trigger is much more responsive than the regular aep batteries, and the rof can't even compare.

There are plenty of guns out there that are small that you can be mobile with, but will still work great as a primary. I haev 2 KWA SR5's. I origionally bought onefor CQB, but loved the way the thing shot, so I bought another and upgraded the spring to up the FSP and replaced the bucking and the gun shoots as fat as any of my other longer rifles.

If and when the FPS was comparable, yes.

My battery difficulties must be MP7-specific, then.

If I try to bypass the weird TM connector for the battery w/o actually soldering something to it, then I am also apparently bypassing the trigger and I get constant cycling. Since I cannot take that part of the MP7 body apart, the only option is to try and get a soldering iron down there and ghetto rig minideans or something. It's not going to be fun, since I can't see what's going on down there, so I've been putting it off.

Smitty, get with me and Geno at the SC vs GA game and we'l show yu the new batteries we got and from where and maybe you can get in touch with them and they can hook you up.

They are.
