yeah the GSG’s i have are great for teaching / running malfunction drills if you dont run them real wet. and then theres the chance that its too dirty cause you were running them wet and they got gummed up from all that shooting… lol. so its a fine line i think with any .22 really unless its a revolver as to how well it’ll run over the long end of things at each outing. That doesnt mean i dont want the 502 still, even with that price tag. lol
