Honestly, since I started playing with gas blowback, I've had precisely zero interest in AEGs. My first was a GHK G5, then a G&G SMC9, and now the MWS. The other two are fun and I suspect the GHK would run even coated in mud, but the MWS is a dramatically finer piece of equipment than either of the other two. The only place where the "performance" lags an AEG in my opinion, is in the ability to just pull the trigger hundreds of times without swapping mags. All that results in is wasting bbs, really. The overall feel and experience of playing GBB makes the AEG pale in comparison and the MWS is about as good as it gets in GBBs. Had I known then what I know now, I would have just gotten the MWS in the first place and save myself quite a lot of money. I don't know about truly cold weather but I've played in temps down to about 45F (not cold, I know) with no issues at all. Frankly as a Californian I'm spoiled to warmer weather and really wouldn't want to play in freezing temps anyway, as I haven't found a good way to keep my goggles from fogging at those lower temps.

Oh yes! When it worked it was such a ferocious beast. Lots of metal on metal. Good clunky AR trigger, bolt dragging over the hammer and it’s metal nozzle coming down on the chamber like a hammer on an anvil. I think that was one of the keys to its roar, the metal nozzle. The Marui M4 has too many plastic components that act like dampeners and those roller bearings don’t help.

As some of you asked for fotos of my collection, I took a few pics ? We restored a house a few years ago and I got the rare opportunity to turn a room into my personal little "museum". The only downside: The showcases are full already... ? As mentioned in the new members thread, I'm a collector for quite some time now and I'm interested in anything that's odd / old / rare / shellejecting / japanese / gasdriven in general and recently got a knack for a bit more steel here and there. Unfortunately, the showcases in the middle still lack lighting ? Disclaimer: Everything in that room is legal and according to german laws, the guns themselves aswell as the showcases, which are locked, when I'm not there. The guns outside the showcases are 0.5 joules, so they don't fall under german gun laws, but are categorized as toys.

Over five years of airsoft and the forum bloody hell.

Do you mean these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/ASG-Unisexs-Wesson-Speed-Loader/dp/B006FHMEH4 If so, I can say that the dan wesson shells are compatible with the Rhino, so I can't see any reason why you couldn't use the speedloader. IIRC they come with the normal shells, which are too hot for UK games sites (Unless you want to run it as a DMR lol).

The legends are true, Eldorado exists.

same, i mean when you're selling secondhand stuff you're gonna be taking such a loss anyway from depreciation. same with paypal fees, end of the day it's the price you pay for convenience of being able to safely accept money and not worth arguing over. skipping a days shooting is going to save you more money than you're gonna lose in postage+fee's most of the time.

woah woah woah hold up there, a stock TM MWS with green gas will struggle at 0°C and it's unavoidable. This kind of freezing weather is simply out of the effective operating temperature range of green gas. The chart below says that Green gas/Nuprol 2.0 at 10°C will have a pressure of 5.6 bar/81 PSI which is really weak already, even Nuprol 1.0 says that it operates at 8 bar/115PSI, at it's optimal temperature. I get around 1 magazine of "full power" shots out my a single mag fully gassed up with green gas at a temperature of 9°C. My first shot clocks in at 89m/s (281fps) and my last few end up around 79m/s (256fps) and there is a very significant difference in feel and sound between those first and last shots too. The first 10-15 shots are very consistent, but then the magazine starts to get cold as shit and the fps dips by 1m/s every other shot. Also bear in mind my magazines are the newer versions which supposedly don't require the green gas mod. The saving grace here is that you can simply run higher pressure gas such as red (nuprol 3.0) at these kinds of temperatures. Red/Nuprol 3.0 at 10 degrees will have a pressure of 7.7 bar which is perfectly acceptable for an MWS, and if you're at sub 0 temperatures, black gas is likely your only option or HPA tapped magazines, but lets be honest we're using GBBRs so we DONT have to carry around a damn air tank so that's not an option ? Also, you can simply get a light weight/aluminium bolt to improve your gas efficiency in cold weather. There are quite a few options out there too.
