In my opinion...STAY AS FAR AWAY FROM A MARUSHIN as you can...seriously. I own one, and I hate the thing with a passion. It is a bundle of trouble and if you are not a veteran Airsofter, blessed with mechanical ability, then you are SOL. I can make it work, and I have killed quite a number of guys with it, but it is not worth the trouble.
Drop the extra money into a Tanaka Kar98 and you will NEVER be disapointed. I would prefer the all metal and wood gun over Marushin's light wood, plastic, and cheap metal any day of the week.
You mentioned realism...for 750 bucks I cannot see how you would get a realistic looking set of gear, so this tells me that you are not as commited to realism as you suggest. If that is the case...then why would you want the Marushin?
If you want to talk to me on MSN, I'm on constantly and can help you out with any area of German WW2 gear.
Take care man, good luck.
