In close range combat, an unsuspecting melon will get the back of its melon blown off.
springers are acually really effective in CQB. The Yuba CQB site is really decent for springers, GBBs are best I think.. better than AEGs.
joe, swatmonkey (aka HaloGod), the answer to your question is....yes.
I've been wanting to take my Walther MPL springer out, but it's so nice and I don't have the heart to bring it out into the field.
I put a higher tension spring in my spring MP5 more then a year ago and have been using it semi religusly for backyard plinking and backwood skirmishes. I have no idea of how much of a power increase I got, but it's enought to be felt and it's still working smooth (with occational maintenence of cource).
Operational is when you get reports of gunfire in the area.
