I'd lean towards 8 bags as well. We use the durgun guns which are really good but its been rightly pointed out on this site that the barrrels on the guns supplied by easipoint are made from standard sized plastic tube which can be cheaply replaced if required

a company I recently rediscovered close to me (see here), have got some cracking prices on guns, i recently purchased one of the kits for £11.78, with the intention of using it for an epoxy mix which involve throwing when finished, but have yet to use it so can't offer any feed back.
