Well the ammo is in a different locked container, so the damage would only come from my ramming speed.
Heh. We've got our Recon at the office firing at 90+ fps when clip-loaded, up to 120 when manually loaded. If you're just buying for the shiny parts, I'd say go with a Recon. And if you really want that drum magazine, you can buy the Raider and just stick the magazine in the Recon.
Yeah, I always heard a lot of good things about them as well until lately. As LANIMIRC pointed out, there are complaints about reliability issues these days, so I'm still researching and pondering. What I liked about it over any of the Glocks was that it fit my hand nicely.
