Hi there

[Blackbeard]

My name is Ed, but you can call me Blackbeard. I have yet to buy an airsoft gun, and I need your help. I would appreciate it if you could reccomend me a good starter airsoft gun. These are the criteria.

No more than £140

Must be 2 tone

Must be an aeg

Must have an fps no higher than 350

Must be 6mm caliber

Preferably comes with a high cap mag

Preferably comes with battery and charger

Thanks

First of all, welcome to airsoft and the forums

Have a look at the G&G combat machine range. http://www.zerooneairsoft.com/index.php?cPath=268_318_403_494 Cheap, effective and very low maintenance. Just what an airsoft newb needs The site I linked offers free two-tone and a free voucher to certain airsoft sites across the UK. A battery and charger is needed though, but both of these can be bought on the site and still come up to roughly £140.

Happy shooting

Welcome to afuk

G&G CM16 /thread.

 

[Blackbeard]

Thanks for the reply, I just have a question about the combat machine. What caliber bbs does it shoot?

 

[M_P]

6mm, pretty much every common gun is 6mm. Use. 25g one for the best results.

 

[Blackbeard]

Thanks!

 

[Blackbeard]

Which battery and charger would you recommend?

 

[Mike636]

A 8.4V 1600 Mah NiMh should last you a full day on a trickle charge, at the moment I'm unsure what if any, mods you would need to run LiPo.

 

[Blackbeard]

Thank you, so it's an 8.4v 1600mah NiMh with a trickle charger?

 

[Mike636]

Yeah that should be sufficient !

 

[Blackbeard]

Thanks!

You can get a trickle charger that cuts off automatically once the battery is charged from Component Shop. Either this one 8.4V only, or this one 7.2 / 8.4 / 9.6V

For batteries you can't go wrong with VP Vapex: the red ones from this page - depending on which gun you get you'll need a particular shape of battery pack.

Zak may be right though, because once you consider P&P it might work out better to buy them from wherever you buy your AEG.

Ok, can you reccomend a specific battery? It's one that fits in this: G&G Combat Machine AEG CM16 Carbine - Zero One Airsoft

You'd best check this b/c I'm not very familiar with M4's, but I think that one is front wired so it will take one of these.

Yep, I can confirm it will indeed take one of them^

Ed!

Not to seem like I'm hating on everyone else, but seriously, we're like a master race -_-

Welcome to AF-UK!

Which connector should I get?

 

[iTTz n00b]

mini type connector and get a 9.6v battery for a higher rate of fire,8.4v in the cm16 carbine is a disappointing 600 rpm

 

[Kaza66]

Yes you will want a mini Tamiya connector, just wondering if you'll need a large- small adapter like I did =/ Should come with the gun though.

Can you give me a link to a good battery then?
