Hello guys,I want to buy my first wepon,I did a bit of research before about manufacturer ,theyr pros and cons,but I am still not decided,I just want a second opinion,I`ve put an eye on VFC VR16 MK12 Sopmod SPR but hopefully you will give me more option.

Range price 300 pounds

What I want at my wepon is to be  AEG,I want to use it outside,medium range,I want to be strong wepon,like more metal then placstic or at least to be resistant

 
I little over your budget but have a look at Krytac crb, they have great range and well built.

 
If it's your first airsoft gun you may be better off prioritising function (read internals) over form and externals. VFC guns have a reputation for being not up to scratch in peer price comparison when it comes to internals.

Take that £300 and wait until you have at least another £100 to £150 and buy a gun solidly in the 320-380 range - 2x battery+charger and magazines and red dot/sling will set you back around £70-£100 - and if you buy an expensive gun you wouldn't then skimp on the semi-mandatory accessories?

I'm out of the loop myself - so if I'm a bit of a cliche when I say which guns are best, but it's definitely worth having a (first) gun which works!

Get a gun with a reputation for good internals and reliability.

Take a look at scorpion evos, amazing guns And similar price range.

arent full mental but the real gun isn’t either, still extremely strong 

 
Have a look at the M4s by G&P. Still more-or-less in your price range, depending on the product. 

If you could wait a bit and buy a TM you'd be set. They're in the £400s though. 

Krytac is a good brand. 

As mentioned you'll need to consider all the extras - mags, batteries, chargers, etc.. Which can really add up. No point buying something if you can't shoot it! 

Nothing wrong with buying cheaper guns. The CM16 series by G&G aren't to be scoffed at. 

Just because a gun is made out of metal doesn't necessarily mean it's any good by the way. A good quality polymer is always better over cheap metal. 

How much experience do you have with airsofting by the way?

The thought of financing what is, in the final analysis, a toy gun for playing pretend soldiers with, just fills me with "WTF?"  And with a minimum purchase price of £300 from JD Airsoft.

If you mean that you've yet to play airsoft at all, I'd strongly advocate that you get out there with some rental or borrowed guns and see what it's all about.  You'll find out if you really enjoy it enough to get into debt over it, and you'll have the opportunity to talk to other players about their guns and try them out.

For one thing, you may find that prefer something other than an M4 variant when you actually get to pew it in real life.  Personally I think the G36 is an ergonomically superior platform.

Honestly if you're looking at "finance" buy a polymer G&G combat machine M4 on a £200 outright budget (including battery/charger/sling).

If you've not played much airsoft, buy gloves.

And now we can get narrow G36 mags too - i've been considering it myself since discovering that.

Mine's feeding fine from M4/STANAG mags using magwell converter, after just a little bit of filing and tidying.  That said, the G36 clippy-together mags are pretty tacticool.

Tbh i'd rather take a cyma ak or cm16 over having to get finance for an airsoft gun, its a hobby ffs and you shouldnt be putting yourself into debt for it (only bankrupting yourself after every pay cheque)

As others have said you'd be better off going a few times, get the feel of airsoft in general, chat to the regulars (nobody likes showing off their kit like airsofters). Also getting your ukara sorted before buying your first gun means avoiding the scourge of the 2 tone paint job.

As already said. Just rent or borrow until you have a UKARA and save cash until then. You'll be happier for it. 

Although something tells me you won't take the sound advice from this forum. 

Inb4any1else I'll buy your vfc off you for a score when you realise its not paintball bruh. 

 
oke guys thanks for help,I will take your advice and go have a few games first,now can you tell me how to close this topic?
