[Ricochet]

I had two of these guns. I really liked them both, but it suffered from a few issues that I didn't have with my other TMs. Firstly they'd become sluggish in hot weather, and often wouldn't cycle at all. Secondly was that they didn't like propane/green gas. Early life they were snappy, but it take long for them to get really weak. I had never heard of this happening in a TM pistol. Later I found out that these guns were made strictly for HFC gas, and couldn't handle propane/green gas. I have been tale now by several sources to never run a TM pistol on propane/green gas unless it specifically says green gas ready on the box, or if it's an older style TM GBBP. I since traded up to a TM PX4 Storm and love it. The TM ABS plastic is a bummer, but I have had several and none have broken. TM performance in an out-of-the-box gun is fantastic, even at lower FPS. There are a few companies like Creation and RA-Tech that do make metal and/or reinforced parts for certain TM pistols. And of course PDI, Nine-Ball, and many others make many internal upgrade parts for their pistols.

The thing I miss most about the FN 5/7 is the magazine's reservoir capacity.
