So I have read countless posts about the TM Hi-capa the WE, and all other brands. I however would like to collect all this info into one spot. I will start with what I have read and my few questions and I am hopefull AOE will lend his vast knowledge to this thread.

To start: TM has the 4.3 and 5.1 versions
They are made of ABS plastic and therefore are not ment to use co2 because it will wear down the slide catch.
The TM parts are interchangable with WE
WE guns are all metal and come in Baby, Dragon, and Regular versions
WE makes the co2 mags and regular mags
WE slides were to heavy for regular green gas because they were metal and needed co2 to cycle properly, now they make Dragon style slides lighter to cycle easyer.
WE has problems with its internals and needs to be repaired.

So my question is is co2 better than green gas or is it worth it, second which gun needs less matinance ie slipping disks or whatever it is, and third which one do you like better if any (I assume you like them or you wouldn't click on this thread)?

A thanks to all who post and sorry for any repetitiveness a-salute.gif
