Germany would still be split . <| sep |> The headline is that it is a very good gun and underappreciated by most of rairsoft . It ' s ' Recoil Shock inspired ', which means you get all the features that Recoil Shocks have and a redesign to suit those features . That sounds obvious but apart from the KSCKWA ERGs and the TM Recoil Shocks and their ARMY clones , most ' recoil ' guns are actually adapted basic AEGs that don ' t have most features and aren ' t modified nearly enough to survive the features they do have . The ERGs whether you buy the M 4 or the AK 74 are rugged , reliable and wellmade . However , they are much less popular than TM ' s Recoil Shocks . This means they are sold at a lower price point , but it also means they have much , much less extensive aftermarket support . You can buy the vast majority of an ARpattern Recoil Shock with ever buying a Tokyo Marui part , whereas support for the ERGs is comparatively very limited . The Recoil Shocks are much , much more common in the UK , chiefly because the advantages of the ERG built to a higher power level are actually a disadvantage in the UK , which imposes the same 1 J muzzle energy limit as the JDM . I would advise you to try to get handson on both an ERG and a SOPMOD or CQBR before making a decision .
