Definitely the right way to go. While it's more expensive it means you can get a better idea of what suits your playing style (eg a long rifle rather than a SMG/carbine) and if the site has different models for rentals you can try them to see what you prefer. Also you'll get a chance to see what others are using and talk to them about it, the hardest thing will be getting them to stop talking?. They might even let you fire off a few shots if you ask nicely. For your nearest site try here https://playairsoft.uk/ Out of the three you listed I'd go for either of the Specna arms. While the cyma 5xx range will perform well enough to be used in game the plastic body is far lower quality and breaks way easier. When mine went it was several parts and was cheaper replace the whole thing Unless you're playing cqb don't bother with .2g bbs. As others have posted .28g is the lightest you should consider. Just remember that your max fps will drop as the bb weight goes up. This is why sites should be talking in joules not fps for their limits but that's a whole different topic suitable for it's own thread. As for how much ammo to carry, that's down to personal preference as it depends how trigger happy you are and how much extra stuff you want to carry. I tend to start woodland games with 800 to 1000 rounds on me but I tend to only use roughly half per game, I figure it's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. I didn't see if it's already been asked and answered but have you also budgeted for the extra stuff like eye protection and spare batteries?

When comparing similarly priced models from the same brand then the differences are only really cosmetic. As for fps, while 310 may seem quite low it really isn't and besides that higher fps doesn't equal better performance. Ammo weight and a correctly set hop up have far more influence on performance. Just look at Tokyo Mauri guns, they come out of the box doing 280 fps but will happily out range many other brands with higher muzzle energy. Another reason not to chase fps limits is that if the site chrono puts you over then you won't be able to use it Evil are a US based shop. Any "review" by someone saying that they're admitting it's more of a paid advert rather than a review

I wouldn't trust the 99% ofairsoft youtubers to be able to tie their own shoelaces, let alone give an honest and unbiased review. Many of them are sponsored and it's not in their interests to give a bad review

I just received this email I can't really say I'm surprised. I stopped going there years ago as there seemed to be bugger all in terms of news etc

Welcome Lol. There's more chance of a politician keeping an election promise As others have posted, there's loads of options for an AR15 in your price range so rather than getting 20 different recommendations you're probably better off deciding what you like the look of and asking about those particular make and model

True but £80 is still double what it's worth

Guess who's back like a dose of herpes?

If reliability is your main concern then the best thing you can do is leave the internals alone. As others have posted use heavier bbs and set the hop up accordingly

For the GE clones of the 870 you only need to replace the fill valve with one of these https://highpressureairsoft.co.uk/collections/fittings/products/jag-arms-scatter-gun-secutor Would that work for the TM?

Surely the two tone being done with stickers adds to the value???

It would help if the muppet could spell Diemaco correctly. Not that they've been called that for 20 years

GE gas are usually listed for around £100 and up depending on what accessories are included

Probably Rift's Blackstone site in Huntington. As for my loadout, here's a picture as I'm feeling lazy and can't be bothered to list everything Photo by Brockys Images/kriosphotography.com

Wow. That's got to be the dumbest thing I've read all year and I've been on quora. That rule is ridiculously open to abuse and would ruin the game. I'm glad your picture included the site name as I know to avoid it

Maybe I can fix stuff, I just don't want the extra hassle of fixing faults on a supposedly working gun as I buy them to use not just hang on a wall or sell on. I've had this more than once (fortunately not here) so I suppose it's a case of once bitten twice shy

Nice. I wonder if they'll do a V3 version

I've got one of those and I can happily say he's talking bollocks about the magazines. Mine will fit any STANAG mag. Also good luck finding a battery that'll fit the peq box

I wouldn't buy a second hand gun without seeing it working first unless I know the seller, especially so if it's "FuLlY UgRaDeD" by an unnamed person.

Full disclosure: this isn't from personal experience, only what Google says but multiple sites say the same do I'm taking it as true. Vorsk glocks aren't magazine compatible with other brands standard size mags. The extended ones might fit with modifications to the gun

I use a gas shotgun as my main gun for cqb and have never heard of any site with a blanket ban on them. Rift's Blackstone site do have a rule that they're left on 3 rather than 6 rounds though Yes a pump action shotgun puts more rounds in the air with each trigger pull but making that follow up shot if you miss or there's another target can't be done as quickly. Imo wanker guns like hpa hi cappas with hair triggers are m4 mags are far more of an issue as they're more easily abused. Best to double check with the site but I can't see them having a problem with it

This

As others have posted a few mid caps and a spare high cap is a good choice unless you're the trigger happy type and often put down alot of suppressing fire then stick with hi caps. Also with mid caps you've got the option of trying film or milsim games where there's ammo limits etc

This. Unfortunately video games and YouTube give many newbies the impression that sniping is just putting the crosshairs on target and pulling the trigger when the reality is very different. Fieldcraft and knowing exactly where your shots will land are way more important as the lower rate of fire is a serious disadvantage when you're within range of those with full auto

Ignore these people, they're idiots. Unfortunately there seems to be a vocal minority of people, particularly on places like faceache and reddit, who think that you need to totally gut any airsoft gun to make it usable and this couldn't be further from the truth. The most I've done to my AEGs is changing the hop rubber. The specna arms guns are a great choice and even the most budget friendly Core range are solid guns which are better quality than some similarly priced guns, eg the cyma 5XX lines with their bodies made from recycled ready meal trays One the subject of PPE, get some gloves too especially for cqb as hits to the hand/knuckles bloody hurt

I'd forgotten about that guy. As his polished turd didn't sell for £70 then I can't help wondering why he thinks it will for more Shame he forgot to mention this second time around when the tech dismantled it to fit the micro switch, the bolt behind the magwell broke, theres enough of it for the ghn to work fine, but obviously needs mentioning, It makes me wonder what else is he hiding?
