Alright, looking into the age verification now, I actually bought some bbs from the guy that does our verification.
I've actually looked at some WE m9's before, the sword cutlass specials from black lagoon, I really want a set of those but they are the ones which are too slow to be imported to Canada, at least from the sites that buy them, so I'd need to find someone from the states to buy them and send them over, or something else which would be a hassle, but someday. Especially when the dollar isn't piss poor.
I've seen some $70-$80 red dot sights for handguns, do you think ones of that price range would be more fashion than function? I figure for that price you should be able to get one that actually does work fairly well, however you would go about adjusting the aim (or just get used to your shot hitting 1 inch below your aim).
I also likely won't be airsofting (if that is the term), I don't think it's all that popular here, so these guns are mostly just toys to mess around with at home from time to time, maybe doing some short range target practice indoors.
As for the suppressor, that's also just for looks, it would be purely a vanity item in my case, but honestly it's such an awesome vanity item that I just can't resist. Didn't know that they might affect the cycling, but I suppose with a higher end airsoft gun it might not be as much of an issue.
I'll look into the mount-frame compatability stuff some more, I've seen some picatinny RDS's, but I think those are more for assault rifles/smg's.
I'll also keep the tips about WE in mind, from when I did research before it seemed like they were widely recommended, I suppose the worse reviews/opinions were just a bit harder to find.
Side note, if anyone knows of a way that I could get the sword cutlass guns in above board, if there's someone that has some sort of replica importing license, I would love to know, as a pair of the sword cutlass M9's would be even better. (then I'd just need to find a brunette witha black top, jean shorts and anger issues to go with them lol)
