You WILL need to change things on it. The number of upgrades and the longevity of present parts will depends on the quality of the rifle.

YES, a low-powered rifle can out-shoot a high-powered rifle. It all comes down to a few things. The most obvious ones are the air seal, the barrel and the hop-up. A poor air seal will lead to inconsistent shot-to-shot capabilities, limiting your capacity to land successful shots. The barrel is important, not by it's length but by it's "straightness". A distorted barrel will deviate the BB and cause erratic shots. The longer the barrel, the better the FPS and a precision gain, but after a certain length it doesn't matter. The most important part is the hop-up. That's the part that will counter the effects of the gravity by "pulling up" the BB. You can have the best rifle in the world, add 4.000$ of upgrades, but with a poor hop-up, it'll shoot like crap.

That is why brands like Tokyo Marui are praised. Because their hop-up system are working well. That's why a high powered, cheap rifle will shoot like ass.

And for the love of god, please don't buy the C-TAC one, or anything Buy... a certain retailer sells.

I might edit that post later if I forgot something.

Thank you for the info. I have tried to find a local shop that can get the maruzen type 96. But I have not been able to. All info I have found is from around '05-'08.

If anyone knows where I can get this rifle I'd appreciate it. I prefer local pickup if possible.

Also I'm not quite sure what u meant in the last statement u made that is bolded.

Edit: never mind I just figured out what You were trying to say. LoL
