Full Metal GBB's

bullets

What other Full Metal GBB's are out there that
could be a good future buy?

I got a KJW P226 and an M9 already.
A lot of others I have seen seem to be ABS body with metal slide
which does not interest me too much.

Could probably get a full metal glock.

Point to note, some GBBs have metal slide, and frame but just plastic grips.

Thats because in reality there are not many all metal pistols.

Most modern handguns today are made with just a metal slide, barrel, trigger etc with the frame and sometimes even the mags out of polymer.

Get a WE 1911 from eiresoft, they are very good from what I've read.

there's no full metal glocks that im aware of, real ones are polymer frame with metal slide on some (all?) models, and hence airsoft replicate this, although the G19 with metal slide is very nice

I can't make claim about later Glocks but the first models were all Polymer for sure. They became famous as the pistol that didn't set off metal detecters.

Thing is, they will set off metal detectors though, even the real ones have metal components internally, not to mention the bullets themselves would set off the detectors too

then there's also the famous porcelain glock 7

"Plastic pistol" myths

Contrary to early reports, Glock pistols do set off metal detectors and can indeed be detected by X-ray machines, due to their metal barrels and slides. The claim that they could not was first made in an article published in The Washington Post on January 13, 1985, entitled, "Quaddafi Buying Austrian Plastic Pistol". In this article, vocal gun control advocate Jack Anderson made the allegations, which were then reported without fact-checking by the Associated Press and further reported by many United States television news stations and newspapers. It has since become an urban legend that to this day continues to appear in news reports and movies, and has even been a topic of debate in the United States Congress.

In fact, 83.7% (by weight) of the Glock pistol is normal ordnance steel and the "plastic" parts are a dense polymer known as "Polymer 2" which is radio-opaque and is therefore visible to X-ray security equipment. In addition, virtually all of these "plastic" parts contain embedded steel not to make the firearms "detectable", but to increase functionality and shooting accuracy. Contrary to popular movies like Die Hard 2: Die Harder, neither Glock nor any other gun maker has ever produced a "porcelain", "ceramic" or "plastic" firearm which is undetectable by ordinary security screening devices. Even if a pistol completely undetectable by either X-ray machines or metal detectors were to be developed, the ammunition inside would still be detectable.

In Die Hard 2, the character John McClane portrayed by Bruce Willis specifically referred to a non-existent "Glock 7" with many fictitious characteristics:

That punk pulled a Glock 7 on me! You know what that is? It's a porcelain gun made in Germany. It doesn't show up on your airport X-ray machines, and it costs more than you make here in a month!
