That's a rather sweeping statement.. which itself is not entirely correct nor accurate. 95% of us over here have HL tanks with their original stock AS guns.. and we're not excatly experiencing the same problems as being posted here. Whether that's because we're getting better QA, or maybe the guys here have much higher expectations.. I don't know. The power indeed leaves a lot to be desired, my Marui and Acdemy tank guns outshoot them.. but I still wouldn't say our HL guns are all that ****ty.

As for barrel suck. It's a fact. It happens.. though quite dependent on certain circumstances. Why else do you think there's that much discussion in matching cylinder volumes with barrel length when tuning airsoft guns for optimum performance.
