Remember, the barrel in your pistol is waaaaay shorter then a barrel in any AEG, and it's not a tight bore. Plus, a pistol really isn't made for accuracy (besides the TM MK23). It's for those "Oh S#!t, my primary is down and some one is charging at me! Better transition to my secondary and get some rounds down range!" situations.

Ok good, i just want to make sure im not getting a crap gun for a 300$ price tag. The two primary reasons i want a pistol are just for the situatuions u pointed out and when u need to clear a room or building/youre charging someone. So far the usp does both and being nice and small its great for charging and fits perfectly in my hands. Just if i need to take someone at range, itd probably be better just to get primary back up instead of uaing my pistol i guess.

Exactly. If you're going to be trying to take someone down 50+ feet away from you, you're better off solving and fixing the issue with your primary (considering it's just something small like a dry mag or jam) then wasting BBs and trying to get them with a GBB pistol.

Sorry to reopen this topic, but recently ive been using my pistol and seem to have a consistent problem with shooting and having noo bb come out and once i point at the ground have all the bbs come out. Is it just because of the weather, or is it something else? I tried heating up the mags before firing but that didnt really help. Any ideas?

It's your hopup rubber. Either you have it turned up to high or it's torn.

Ok pistol is almost new so i hope its not torn, but that would also explain the insane amount of curve on the shots i take. How can i check and how do i fix it?

EDIT: looked at the manual for hopup and turns out what i thought was down was up and up was down which explains a lot. Ill shoot it tomorrow and see if that solved my problem. If not ill head back to milsig and see if i can get it fixed. Thanks so much ur a lifesaver!
