Cleaning the gun every "battle" seems realistic to me as well. Just make the system very persise for the M4s, and loose and reliable for the AK

I wish there was a way to store a small ammount of propane and an expansion chamber in say... the stock of a TM-AK-47, following the Tippman C3 propane powered paintball gun princible, except gasblowback fullauto. Infact, one could use the entire stock for gas storage, and the mechbox area for the bolt and expansion chamber.

I wish the classics would come back (gas blowback, external air) in a more convenient way (internal gas storage, etc)

Either way, the more realistic the better, including sound, recoil, and blowback.

Cheers!

Propane performs poorly in full auto because of cooling effects. I'm not a very big fan of AEG's because of the whine and trigger delay. At the moment, I am aiming for an HPA-powered gun with the tank in the magazine. Might be unfeasible due to the cost of individual tanks + regulators. My calculations indicate that output pressure only needs to be about 150PSI for 450fps (with a 0.4m barrel, a 0.2g BB, no hopup, and an estimated 50% efficiency for imparting pressure onto the BB)
