    is this all down to personal choice im looking at
    http://www.guay2.com/web/our_product/RK47%20blow%20back.php?lang=en
    the blowback does have slightly longer inner barrel of 23mm and gun is slightly shorter but innner barrel is most important for accuracy ?
    VS
    http://www.guay2.com/web/our_product/rk47.php?lang=en
    second one is more appealing with the real wood
    correct me if im wrong but does the blowback just add a bit of a more realistic feel to the gun when firing
    Also doe sthe blowback use up battery more in any way no matter how little it be?
    in your opinion blow back or no blowback and why?
    cheers

    Blowback option on those rifles simply shoves the "bolt" back and forth and changes the sound a tiny amount. It serves no purpose beyond pure cosmetics.
    Personally, I'd stick with the non blowback option. In your case, the real wood is a big positive, but I've also always seen electric blow back systems as just one more complication on a gearbox that isn't necessary. I've rarely see one go wrong, but I also just don't see the point of further complicating a system like that for virtually no gain.

    On systems like the Raider, I'm more accepting of it, simply because the Raider stands out on it's own in that price range.

    i have the RK47 blowback and its a brilliant gun. it uses the same blowback system as the raider. Its a heavy piece but is pure quality. ROF is superb as well as range and accuracy

    any idea on the weight ?
    real wood i think is going to be decider for me
    since blowback offers no real extra performance id prefer feel over blowback
    cheers for all the info guys much appricated

    sorry ill add there what about magazines for the ak are they steel or plastic and i assume i can possibly buy more of either ?
