    What version of the KJW M9 are you getting? There are 3 different types:
    - ABS (Green Gas only)
    - Full Metal standard nozzle (Green Gas only)
    - Full Metal blue reinforced nozzle (Co2 & Green Gas)

    As to the whole "Green Gas V Co2" debate...that's really down to personal preference. Personally I take both as they come. When I want metal guns with greater recoil, Co2 is realistically the only viable option. But that comes with a higher degree of maintenance - yes its part and parcel with the territory, but some people are just not up to the rigors of that maintenance (stripping both magazine and gun apart to lube it up regularly, and replacing parts that have worn).

    However if I am not in the mood of recoil, I reach for my plastic Marui's which are all run off of green gas. Yes you have to watch your shots, fill carefully, warm the mags and carry out maintenance to ensure no leaks, but you have the benefits of laser-beam pistols :D Recoil is disappointing though.

    What are you looking for out of the pistol?

    PS: Absolutely no idea how many fills per can of gas. I've never counted it, and to be honest I never will. My answer would have to be 'enough'

    Ill probably just stick with green gas considering that I dont really want too much recoil and that I dont want to be buying co2 cartridges every so often. Thanks anyway for all the help.
