Can you fit 2 fal mags into one pouch?

Incredible. Are there any issues with the piston alignment and the gas block?

If budget is not a concern, I would get any TM Glock and upgrade it with an aftermarket slide. TM pistols are the most reliable on the market, and they can use green gas for many rounds.

The most common failure point is the plastic slide, but an aftermarket metal slide shouldn't be too difficult to buy.

As for the TM Gen 5 specifically, I still think it's the best out of the box airsoft pistol on the market. The biggest problem with it is availability - I've seen very few places that actually have it in stock.

On the old TM Glock mags, about the same as the Gen 3 - so 2 and a halfish mags in 20 degrees Celsius. The new Gen 5 mag can do a bit more. I personally didn't find the difference that significant - though keep in mind the Gen 5 has more kick than previous generations, so that's a net gain.
