[First gun help (pistol)]

if you get the HFC's from onlybbguns try RC10 and you might get 10% off

so the 2 HFC's will be £27 delivered

 

yes they are low end guns and in general not ultra wise to buy from these BB site's

 

But - ANY gas pistol "can" fail at some point lets be honest, the valves can leak etc...

so see if you can locate spare mags - handy if you actually want another mag or if

you can source parts for valve/mag - not always that straight forward.......

 

You could consider buying 2 cheapy gas pistols like I have done, any gas pistol can

break and YES they are not the top end ones but you ain't spending 3 or 4 times or

more money on a pistol - and if you did then you a fvcked or heavily committed getting

it fixed or you £100+ super duper blowback mofo pistol is just sitting there for display

 

I am not having a dig at the high end pistols - far from it guys but these cheap n cheerful

pistols at least kinda fire at some decent rate rather than crappy AEG's that offer only

pi$$ poor performance before they break next week - if they last that long......

 

So you "could" consider 2 x HFC's for say £54 - or a pistol with 2 mags + other pistol for

parts/painting - dodgy area - but you kinda get what I mean.....

 

The Crossman @ £40 is plus postage or add £20 for free shipping

can you buy a spare mag for it - if so then it might be worth it as £60 is free shipping

try "horse" for 5% discount but gotta spens £60 for free shipping at bbguns4less

 

onlybbguns do free shipping on all crap

 

up to you though in the end

Thank you, another top response!

 

The 2 x pistols and having one for spares etc sounds like a good idea aswell!

 

So its most likely when something does happen to break/fail it will most likely be the mag?

 

Thanks for the discount codes aswell, much appreciated!

 

You mentioned you recently purchased 2 cheap pistols. What did you go for? And would you recommend for garden shooting?

 

Many thanks

If it's just for back garden plinking then any co2 powered pistol is going to be about the same at that price, just don't be surprised if it breaks quickly.

 

As mentioned before, avoid sites with "bb" in their title - usually have sub par customer service and products (but not always). Additionally if you order from overseas without a UKARA then your gun will be seized and more than likely destroyed. Even with a valid UKARA defence there's a risk of this happening.

Thanks for the quick reply.

 

It doesn't have to be a gas/Co2 but if I want a decent power (320FPS+) I didn't see many electric or spring options, could you suggest any pistols around that price range or do I really need to look at spending more? As this is my first gun i was hoping £30-40 would cover a half decent gun with good power but what would also last.

 

Looking at the various reviews the Crosman C11 looks to be well built (2nd version of the gun).

 

And thanks for the info on importing!

Wouldn't recommend you buy anything from a bbguns website! It's literally like the first thing everyone will tell you. Most of the guns they sell are only good enough for a backyard battle or shooting targets and not a proper skirmish. I'd also recommend a rifle such as the G&G Combat Machine because they are very good value and you can upgrade them a lot.

 

A pistol on the other hand will not have the same performance, it won't be as accurate or have as much range. Unless you're playing at a close quarters site you will probably find you are at a big disadvantage without a rifle.

 

TaiwanGun and Gunfire (both Polish) are great but unfortunately no they won't two-tone your guns.

Thanks for the very quick reply!

 

I didn't word my original post very well but to start with, all I will be doing if back yard target practice and thought for my £30-40 budget that would only get me a pistol.

 

The distance would only be between 6-11 M but i would still like something powerful.

 

I did read about the bbgun website not being the best, that is why I thought I would speak with the the people who would be able to give me honest reviews.

 

Of the guns mentioned would any be good for what I need at the moment?

 

Thanks again

Hi Guys,

I’m new to the forum, and air soft so I’ll apologise about the amount of questions. I have had a look around the forum to answer most of my questions but I would still like some opinions.

I would like to purchase a pistol for back garden target practice, with a high FPS, ranging from 6-11 meters distance. I have noticed the gas/Co2 NBB guns appear to have the widest selection for this. I have a budget (as this will be my first gun) for around £30-40.

 

A few I have spotted for this price are listed below and I would appreciate if anyone could give feedback or good alternatives, within budget.

Gun: Crosman C11
Co2 powered
Shoots 6mm bbpellets (0.20g or 0.25g)
Magazine Capacity: 18 bb pellets
Weight: 515 g
Velocity: 400 fps Approx
Material: ABS
Semi Auto
Hop up
Price: £40 (bbguns4less)

 

Gun: SRC GGH0303B Heckler and Koch USP (Single fire)
Greem gas
Size - 225 mm long
Mag cap - 20 rounds
Hop up - yes
FPS 320
Single shot
Price: £30 (bbguns4less)

 

Gun: HFC GG-106 MK8
300 FPS
25 – 30 Meters
25 Round Magazine
Length of 19.5cm
Adjustable Hop-UP
Gas Pistol
Non-Blowback

Gun: HFC HG-104 M92
Weighs 400 Grams
Gas Pistol

310 FPS
23 Round Magazine
40 Meter Range
22.5 cm in Length
Non-Blow Back
Takes Green Gas
Fixed Hop-UP
Hand Fit Grip
Price: £30 (onlybbguns)

 

I also notice someone say if waiting time is not an issue (which it isn’t) then the best bet is to order from a site like gunfire.pl which they have the following before deliver and any charges;

 

SRC GG105 or GC105 for €19-26
Or Umarex Ruger P 345 for €41.

 

If I was to order from gunfire.pl will they supply to a non UKARA person as I can’t see a two tone option available on their guns.

 

Few other points, I’m not bothered if the gun is semi auto or single fire. I’m also not bothered about mag size. I can’t see many huge differences on the Co2 Vs Green Gas for back garden target shooting, please advise if there are any other points to consider.

 

I also see a few discount codes posted in a few topics for some of the above website, if you know of any please let me know.

 

Thank you in advance!
