The KP45 is supposed to be excellent, especially since they put the NS2 gas system in the new USP's.Gonzo wrote:Im looking to spend no more than $150 and i loooked at the KWA Kp45

Cyma g18c with a 50rnd mag will be perect. You don't have to deal with the gas system and all the problems that can cause. Mine shoots 250fps and has full auto/semi auto Rof's. I have envested $60 in it. Because it is a tm clone there are a lot of upgrades for it.

Yeah an AEP might be the best choice for a "practical" sidearm, especially if you want to go cheap.ATLAS wrote:Cyma g18c with a 50rnd mag will be perect.

But they definitely aren't as "cool" as GBB's.

Haha no doubt, AEPs are going to provide more effective fire than your standard GBB, unless you go for higher end models, but they aren't as cool .

Unless you consider effectiveness to be cool.

Yeah, you'd need a KWA Mac-11, glock 18, M93r, TM Hicapa Extreme, etc if you to be able to effective with it.Aggressor Dog wrote:Haha no doubt, AEPs are going to provide more effective fire than your standard GBB, unless you go for higher end models, but they aren't as cool .

I'm not a big fan of C02 pistols. It's a lot more expensive to fill them up, and it's less reliable. Plus, the mags are weird.

Co2 pistols are banned at a lot of fields, due to the large changes of FPS with every shot. I've owned one, and they aren't reliable. That's why you won't see major retailers selling them
But I do recommend the KJW M9. Very good gun for the money

Re: Recommened sidearm
I have to agree Co2 guns are not a good choice.KJW make fine gas pistols for the money and the aep's now or a whole lot better than in the past.Cyma does make a very good one for the money.Just depends on how much up keep you want to do regular go gas none go aep.

Re: Recommened sidearm
I'd say:
KJW M9=$110 from AirsoftAtlanta
Propane Adapter=16 from airdog
4 Things of propane from BJ's=$17

The KWA KP45 new version (NS2) rocks!
I just picked up a new OD green version to replace my tan one, which was sold.
We chrono'd the KWA NS2 version at the shop with green gas and it clocked at 365 FPS (0.2g BBs).
It's also has good gas efficiency allowing two+ mag reloads on a single gas fill.
The gun comes with mag, lube, BBs, hop up tool and features a ring on the lower part of the handle to receive a pistol lanyard.
I would highly recommend the KWA KP45 NS2 version!
