Yes, understood. I've widened my choice of style to the M4, G36 or maybe even the Scar, so if I were to say my limit for the gun was £350 with charger and essentials, what manufacturer and model would you folks suggest? Thanks, Cheers.

Thanks AF-UK. Yeah, I looked at the M4/M16's as there seem to be a huge amount of options, and I am by nature a tinkering spanner monkey. Obviously price is a governing factor, but as I've mentioned before the accuracy is the most important thing with some realism. Spending more money doesn't necessarily mean I'm going to get something more accurate, just more bells and fancy stuff, is there actually much difference in accuracy between something at £150 or something at £350? If there isn't then I can just concentrate on the other options. Cheers.

I think turning myself into a tank is a bloody great idea, I have to try this!! Now, having got the very basics out of the way, and visited a local shop, I think I want to go the M4 / M16 route. I shoot air rifles which give me range and this is meant to be a different discipline, something new to learn about. Ans if I'm shooting at home a shorter range isn't really a problem. So, could you kind folks please recommend a good M4 / M16 platform? I want to go electric, I'd like the mosfet thing, a metal gearbox is a must and I would really like a good mechanical kick back, not blow back. I have to budget the gun, chargers, batteries, etc. under £400 if possible. Thanks folks, I really do appreciate all your advice. Cheers.

Thanks folks, some good ideas. I do have an all terrain wheelchair which I could certainly get around on, but it is bulky and would make a large target. I do like the idea of the riot shield! There is a shop at Ingoldmels, which isn't far from where I am. I'm going to pop over and have a good chat with the folks there. Thanks for all your replies, very much appreciated. Cheers.

Thanks folks. I've looked into the back spin thing, it makes a lot of sense now I understand it. Although I don't understand why it's not just called back spin! A tin can at 40 yards sounds exactly the kind of accuracy I'm after. What's the range/accuracy like with an assault? Are there any laws against buying or supplying a realistic finish? Is this the reason for everything being a bright colour? This isn't the most important thing at all, but a bright orange rifle will look a bit odd in the rack next to my air rifles. Thanks again folks.

Thanks for the reply, this is sounding positive. Could you explain what a hopup is? I really need to do a lot more research!

Hi folks. I've been shooting air rifles in the field for years, but following a recent road accident I'm now in a wheelchair and can't get out anymore. I've taken up target shooting with air rifles and pistols and I'm thinking about getting into the Airsoft side of things. Obviously I'm not going to be running around shooting my friends, I'm more interested in accuracy in a different dicipline. I don't really like the bright orange stuff on the market, I prefer something authentic looking, but as I say accuracy is more important than anything else. So, could you kind folks please advise me on the best mid range kit to get started with? Should I go electric or gas? What range could I realisticly shoot targets at? (I do realise I'm looking at a far shorter distance than my 50yd air rifle range.) What ammo? Blah blah blah. I hope you get the idea. Thanks.
