(as if i'd really be worried about how many bb's i'm wasting using a pistol anyways...)

Nice I think many people probably feel the same way.

NBB's are quieter, too, right?

All three types are good, depending on the situation you want to use them.

Hats off to blowback of course! NBB's are great too if you want to convert all that blowback action to firepower instead.

I've seen some nasty shots made by NBB's to a group, taking them 1 by 1 within 20 feet from the shooter. The silent shots made by the NBB makes it a good sneak up pistol.

The springers are there to give you a fighting chance when you've already consumed your first two pistols.
