First off, I'd just like to say that while this is my first post on this forum-I have been reading threads on this fine website for quite a while and I have seen a lot of very intelligent, and experienced airsofters in discussion, and I hope you'll let me pick your brains.

I know that Desert Eagle .50 is a Monster, and I have taken into account the need for an extra large holster, the weight, bulkiness, delayed draw time, ect. So there is no need to bring this up.

I just want to know why you would select one over the other(The Tokyo Marui Desert Eagle HK .50AE, or KWC's Co2 Desert Eagle .50AE).
Factors on my mind:
I know that most people prefer the use of propane as a bbg gas, and I know the reasons why-I also know that the KWC can be fitted with a propane clip. I know that the TM has a plastic slide, where as the KWC has a metal slide. I know that the KWC Has the ability to go full auto-and also that its is not all that useful. I know that the KWC has a higher velocity due to the fact that its co2.
I have read glowing reviews on both guns, and while there is an abundance of video clips of the TM version available on youtube, I was only able to find a couple of the KWC.
I am currently leaning towards the KWC mostly due to the metal slide, which is somewhere in the range of a 100-200 dollar upgrade for the TM.
Is there really any reason that the TM is better than the KWC-after searching the net for days, reading reviews and threads and watching videos, I haven't found any.

To people that have actually used both, Which kicks harder? Does one slide have a longer travel than the other?

Thanks in advance for any info or advice!
