[Suitable Barrel Cleaning Solution]

The reason that silicon oil is recommended is that it leaves a very thin coating that reduces the BB residue buildup on the barrel. You should do a few clean passes with no silicon oil afterwards but its the current recommended way to clean your barrel by the expert techs out there, nothing else I knows of leaves a residue repelling residue.

 

To begin with just shoot the gun, after a thousand rounds or so it'll need a clean because the gearbox will almost certainly shoot a tonne of garbage down your barrel and you'll need to clean it thoroughly.

 

Thank you for your post. Would this be okay?

Alcohol wipes do the trick for me.

Thank you for your time. Shall I go ahead and order from the link below which also has a mixture of isopropyl? (I am not familiar with this term so do please pardon my illiteracy)

Thank You.

Thank you all for your kind replies. I have also heard that alcohol corrodes metal internals. What are your views on this?

 

In that case, should I purchase isopropyl/alcohol wipes as well as silicone lubricant? So clean the barrel with wipes and after a few minutes for letting it dry, then lightly run down the lubricant?

 

Also, do I have to buy the silicone lubricant especially made for airsoft guns or could I just buy any?

 

Thank You very much.

Hi guys. Hope you are all doing well.

First of all, I would like to shout out a massive thank you to all of you on this forum in helping me choose the right gun. I was going to place an order for a gun on justbbguns which I thought would be good until you guys came across and pointed me to the right directions. And thank you "Sitting Duck" for all your efforts. Much appreciated.

 

Aside from Sitting Duck's views, do you guys have any recommended oil, lubricant or any solution for cleaning the gun barrel.

I heard that 100% silicone oil works best. If you can also post some links for 'that' solution from eBay on here, I would really appreciate it.

 

Thank You and take care.

Do you have a UKARA number?

No. I am fine with two tone. I was just wondering if I could get a better gun for around the same price as that in the link.

 

Thanks.

[Quick Questions & Simple Answers.]

Thank you guys for your kind information. Is there a better gun on the website (airsoftworld) than http://www.airsoftworld.net/g-g-gc16-30th-anniversary-limited-edition-aeg-airsoft-rifle-black.html and would you buy this gun to which the link is posted?

 

My preference is M4/M16 AEG rifles, full metal, around 350FPS with 50 meter range around £200? G&G brands are said to be quite good but this is my first time buying an airsoft so I want to make sure of everything.

 

Thank You.

[Quick Questions & Simple Answers.]

Hi, I just wanted to ask a quick question. Here are two same rifles with barely any difference to which the links are as follows:

http://www.airsoftwo...ifle-black.html

and

http://www.airsoftwo...ml#product-tabs

Gun in the first link has 330+ FPS and 450 Magazine Capacity where as the second gun has 340+ FPS and 300 Magazine Capacity.
Why is it that two exact same guns have different FPS and Capacity?
And which one would you prefer?
I will also buy 9.6V battery. Is that safe and effective?

And are there any other aeg's you would recommend within £200?

Thank You for your time.

60mtr range usually takes some work to get. 40-50 mtr is the Norm. You'd have to do some serious work on the hop up to get more and use heavier bbs.

You are right. I am pushing it. I am happy with 50 meter range with great accuracy.

[Urgent advice needed]

agreed 2-tone G&G might be just a stepping stone if you get into it

 

but if a newcomer stays or quits after 6, 12, 18 months.....

 

Raider £123 plus battery charger etc.....

(now if the battery/charger sourced seperately and say bought 2 x batteries - 7.4v lipo's could save money)

 

But anyway - say for arguments sake £175 all in cost of gun n battery charger

 

OP quits or gets ukara and thinks flog Raider.....

 

£100 quick sale all in or maybe a bit more light skirmish use and hardly used ???

3 x hire guns would of cost him about £25 a pop = £75 to get ukara'd

 

now op would be f*cked with some "BB" guns - if they lasted that long

but a Raider should hold up well and hold its value a bit or be worth keeping as spare backup gun

so perhaps a 2-tone G&G is a worthy consideration even if user might get ukara'd and go for a RIF later on

(well I think it ain't unwise - but another crappy aeg gun from BB sites is deffo not a wise long term investment)

 

You are right. It is best for me to just get an expensive, proper AEG airsoft and then paint it to black or whatever colour SHOULD I choose to be ukara'd.

[Urgent advice needed]

G&G M4's are what you want

 

Zero One & a G&G Raider - tough decision the long or short barrel version ?

2-tone is free of charge - most places charge for 2-toning

 

or if you are one of those people that MUST have a metal M4

(even though the polymer abs G&G Combat Machines are the dogz nutz)

 

http://www.airsoftworld.net/g-g-gc16-30th-anniversary-limited-edition-aeg-airsoft-rifle-black.html

now you have to pay a bit for the two-tone but they do a nice snake-skin 2-tone on this full metal mofo

 

Those are my 2 top choices for buying a 2-tone starter M4

if you get ukara'd as we say - then you can go nutz on an all black or tan Realistic Imitation Firearm....

But be warned buying these rif toys can get very addictive but there is 2 great 2-tone starters for you

I am really impressed by your latter choice of full metal M4-like AEG. I am putting this on my consideration list.

Do you or anyone else has any more similar options like full metal body, 350+ FPS and 60m+ range?

 

And I have narrowed down my search results to airsoft world and zerooneairsoft. These websites are legitimate right? I can do a google search but as I said, I am solely relying on you guys for any decisions.

[Urgent advice needed]

Why not just get an air rifle?

Well, somebody could get hurt if misused. I know proper AEG airsofts can hurt but not to the extent at which air rifle does. I will be using it for fun anyways.

 

So airsoft rifles are not that accurate in general? Not speaking relatively.

[Urgent advice needed]

if you dont mind me asking, what do you plan on using the rifle for if youre not interested in getting a defence so you can buy a RIF ?

Yes sure. You can ask whatever you wish. I would like to buy just for the fun of it. And mostly target shooting. Three weeks ago, I went paintballing with my friends and I loved it very much but I initially had interest in airsoft and paintballing anyways. Proper skirmish battles interest me a lot but I do not have much time in my hands (I am applying for maths this yeat at universities so have to prepare for entry tests and revise further maths bla bla bla)

 

I am willing to spend around £220 give or take so that is why I want to make sure I get the best I can in this price range. Hence my effort in research and browsing the forums.

[Urgent advice needed]

Could somebody fill me on this as I am not sure what is going on here lol I am not getting the license for various reasons such as cost, time consuming hassle and location. So not bothered.

[Urgent advice needed]

 

*mashes face on keyboard repeatedly*

 

lol have I done something wrong? My apologies nonetheless haha

[Urgent advice needed]

for £190 you can buy a MUCH better gun then that,

for example I just bought a new Ak74 with full steel and wood furniture for £130 that will out perform that thing at everything.

If youre 20 I woudl advice gettign a UKARA by renting a gun then looking ot buy. dont buy ANYTHING from those type of websites, theyre con merchants

 

 

DON'T BUY THOSE!!!!!

 

Look for G&G Combat Machine guns on Zero One, Pro Airsoft or anywhere else that sell them. You will need to have it two toned but most places will do that for free or at worst a small charge.

 

DO NOT buy from websites with "BB Guns" in the name, they're all rubbish. Particularly that one.

 

 

This is advice any smart person on this forum will give you, you can take it or leave it, its up to you.

Stay away from Just BB Guns, BB Guns 4 Less and any other website that claim their bright orange guns under £100 are completely skirmishable.

 

 

For those prices you can get a nice G&G.

 

 

 

Thank you for your replies. I was just about to place an order but was was not able to decide which one to go for so I have stopped everything now.

I will solely rely on in this forum (specifically this thread) for any decisions as you are more expert and knowledgeable. I have checked the Zero one website and it is amazing so far.

 

And I am not intending on getting a UKARA licence at the moment. I was just interested in professional airsoft guns which I do not mind in two tone. I am spending a large amount (Aprox: £220 max) from my point of view so I want to make sure it has all the qualities.

 

Any links guys?

 

Thank You very much. Much appreciated.

[Urgent advice needed]

Hi. Hope you guys are all doing well.

 

I am about to purchase a new AEG for the first time but have little to no background experience.

I have my eyes on these guns to which the links are as follows:

http://www.justbbguns.co.uk/product/549/2-TONE-GUNS-PRO/466/2-TONE-AEG-PRO/1477/SR36C-G36-GEN3-AEG

 

http://www.justbbguns.co.uk/product/549/2-TONE-GUNS-PRO/466/2-TONE-AEG-PRO/1468/SRC-M4-RIS-AEG-OG

What are your views and is there a better AEG rifle on this website (or any other) around the same price?
You wouldn't exactly know my preferences but I specifically look for power and range with more FPS. To be able to hit a competitor or an object from a long distance without compromising speed and accuracy as well as in Close Quarter Combat (CQC).

 

Your views, guidance and any links to your preferred airsoft gun will be much appreciated.

 

Oh, and I will be nearly 20 years old this July so I am over 18

Thank You.
