Tested by Ed

I'd go with the Tokyo Marui Hard Kick - I prefer its cleaner, pure-breed look and the easily accessible hop-up dial, and it's put together very well and feels solid. The WE Tech gold is full metal but a little shaky and rattly, and at $250 I don't think I'd be inclined to buy it when you could get a pretty solid AEG for that money. The TM runs at 265 fps, which I find more valuable than the WE's 368 because I prefer having no minimum engagement distance. I wouldn't actually run either as a secondary - they're huge, holsters are impossible to find, and I gave up instantly when I tried. They're showpieces, and I think you'd be happy with either one.

TM and WE magazines are not cross-compatible either direction · 14:29

Out of the box

265FPS

179Price quoted

Stock TM quoted at 265 fps, WE at 368 fps. TM black $179, chrome $199; WE black $175, gold $250. TM has tool-less hop-up dial; WE needs hex key. Mags not cross-compatible. TM polymer orange tip very hard to remove.

Caveats

Transcript never explicitly says which FPS belongs to which pistol; 265 (TM) and 368 (WE) inferred from context
Price line garbled in transcript ('$775' likely '$175'); TM quoted at $179
Ed fired the WE only once; performance comments are expectation, not tested
No BB weight, joules, FPS spread, or accuracy testing provided
Scores inferred from qualitative statements; Ed gave no numeric ratings
