About/Contact Me
Hello.
I’d like to take the time to welcome you to ColinSun.com and if you haven’t guessed my name is Colin Sun. This site is dedicated to the life of a 30 year old married geek and I’ll be mainly talking about people and events that surround my life.
Yours truly and Maggie…
Um let’s see what’s interesting about me… Well aside from my love affair airsoft, I also enjoy cars and auto racing (especially F1) and of course videogames! :D As the days go by, I’m also becoming more of an environmental extremest; down with SUVs!!! I also like to rant about everything but I’m sure you’ll read enough about that if you check out the main page.
In general I will post whatever is on my mind and if you’ve got a rant or rave about what I’ve said, feel free to contact me via email at colin @ colinsun.com (remove the spaces in between), MSN at Colin_Sun @ Hotmail.com (again remove the spaces) or comment directly on the blog.
ColinSun.com is a work in progress so check back regularly… Or not, whatever floats your boat.
nice guns C man ;) long time… Hehe Just stopping by to say hi ;)
Heya Przemek! I hope things are well with you, please don’t let my complaining scare ya away lol.
hey my name is tim and im from the GTA its impossible to get age verified in canada and the retailer selling me guns is way overpriced i was wondering if you can help me get into the sport of airsoft thanks!
Hi Tim.
If you’re in the GTA region your best bet is go to either a Defcon or TTAC3 game, both usually have age verifiers attending (games will be listed in the Ontario section on ASC). As for prices, unfortunately that’s how much we have to pay, there’s a small monopoly on airsoft retailers and they can charge whatever they want because we as individuals cannot import our own weapons.
Hi Colin,
Realize i have another evil twin on the other side of the world. *From Singapore* with the same name.
I also share similar interests (Scary yea) however u are probably 3 years older.
Take Care and keep the “Name Sake” Moving

Hi Colin nice to meet you and thanks for leaving me a message. :) Long live the name! ;-)
I am looking for a really good GBB sidearm for my M4 carbine. I noticed that you own both the TM MEU and the KWA M9. I have searched many forums, but very few have members that possess both. Which one do you prefer and why?
Hey.
It really depends, are you looking for a high performance pistol and will you have more than one? The KWA M9 PTP is a great workhorse, my wife likes it because it has a lot of power but heh I like the finesse of TM GBBs. My TM MEU has been upgraded and has similar range to that of upgraded AEGs, though the single stack magazine holds less gas so I can only get about 20-24 shots.
A good GBB that has power and the TM’s legendary accuracy are the Hi Capa series, my old Hi Capa 5.1 upgraded shot over 400 fps with 0.2g BBs. :D
Hope that helps.
I’m sorry, this might seem like a whole bunch of annoying questions, but how many shots can the KWA M9 PTP get out of one fill of gas in a mag? And how does the “accuracy” compare? How about weight and blowback/recoil?
What have you upgraded?
I am looking for a high performance pistol, and will not have more than one.
Which one is more “accurate”? How about blowback and total weight? How many shots can they get out of one mag fill of propane?
Sorry about these annoying questions, but I hope you answer them.

Hmm the KWA M9 PTP can easily get 2-3 mags worth of BBs per gas charge, the reservoir is much larger. Accuracy is subjective but from my use anyway I have a lot more difficult time running the KWA M9 PTP as my primary anywhere other than CQB settings. I don’t have that issue with my TM GBBs, I’ve gotten kills past 125′ (though I usually close the distances, I hate campers and to camp with a pistol guarantees you’re dead lol). The weight is about the same as a real M9 and blowback is crisp for a GBB. There are no upgrade parts for the KWA M9 PTP, it’s a high performance piece already but yeah there’s not much you can do to it.
My TM MEU has a PDI 6.01mm tightbore (this is more for power than accuracy, for the latter something in the 6.03 range is better), Firefly soft hopup rubber, nineball piston head and a few other parts (can’t remember and I don’t want to pull apart the gun). It’s very consistent in its action which is most important, I can make up for the other deficiencies if the gun fires the same every time. ;-)
