Yes, I agree. VFC isn't a shit brand in general though doesn't matter what people claim here. Every gun breaks eventually TM obviously has a proper QC and they make quality guns because of these reasons less likely you are gonna have bad experiences with the brand. I only bought my VFC Glock few months ago so I'm not gonna say it's never gonna break (it's gonna just matter of time) but I'm not biased. I buy and use everything doesn't matter what people say or claim anywhere on the internet especially when they are full of hatred. Ehobbyasia has literally everything. WGCShop used to be good before brexit but delivery became too expensive. MLEmart has a lot of VFC parts as well. These are just top of my head probably a lot more companies are involved. You can order almost anything from Hong Kong as standard delivery and roughly after waiting a week it should be in your letter box. Only saying because I do it regurarly.

I'm a foreigner I can't be racist. 🤨

Yes, TM is a good brand and everyone copies/copied them which tells a lot about their reputation in the airsoft world. But it doesn't mean they don't break or you can't better equipped gun for cheaper esp. if it's an aeg. On the internet you can't have your own thoughts because hive minded people are gonna tell you otherwise and mock you like you're some kind of imbecile. Some people live their life on this forum and act like they know everything and what they say is eternal truth. 😕

Source: trust me bro. No one questioned TM reliability I said they are overpriced regarding what they offer in 2022. Some of them were designed 20-30 years ago and haven't changed since then. No innovation and yet hefty price tags.

Skirmish CQB is an amazing site both players and marshalls are fantastic. I don't mind to drive 45-50 minutes to get there. Hell's Airsoft was extremely dusty last time I played so I wouldn't pay for that experience again.

Hell's Airsoft is the only indoor site in Derby to my knowledge. Skirmish CQB in Kirkby-in-Ashfield shouldn't be that far from Nottingham.

Tokyo Marui AEG's are overpriced in my opinion, so? You can buy better stock guns for less money. What overpriced is totally subjective to the person isn't it?. WE has a terrible reputation regarding reliability so doesn't matter if it's cheaper. Compare it to Tokyo Marui because they are in the same price range. If someone tells me a TM GBB pistol is more reliable than a VFC well yes I can accept that assuming you don't use propane on a stock TM.

It's a glock 19 slide on a glock 17 frame. A bit more comfortable to draw even with tracer because of the shorter slide length. I don't know what you expect from the gun because internally nothing special but you can say the same about every stock glock in this price range.

Anyone tried Gorilla Strike Airsoft in Earl Shilton and if so any good experience? Cheers

Hm. I don't think you need any kind of real world training to get "better". Youtube has quite a lof of videos about this topic and the rest is up to you. Changing shoulders when you peak from your left side (if you are right handed) and trying to stay in cover/concealment whenever possible. Changing stances can help a lot you don't see to many people to crouch, sidestep or lying on their back/stomach (all of them situtional but always do what's unexpected to confuse your opponent). Speed and aggression are important and knowing the layout of your site helps a lot. Knowing cheeky angles always score some kills. Slicing the pie and aggressively peeking hard angles. I only play indoor nowadays and all of this comes naturally. Having a proper cardio can make a huge difference, too.

"Dude", after 350 pounds mark you are not gonna getting any better performance or internals if we strictly talk about stock AEG's. People shouldn't be this thick in the age of internet but I don't care it"s not my money. I just tried to help. 😕

I sold one few weeks ago and I bought it from a guy irl when last time I played on a site. They pop up as second hand guns quite often. It's not a bad thing to check major used airsoft websites like prefired or airsofthub, too. Altough if you get scammed it's a long process to get back your money from paypal. GBB MP9's have a lot of issues I think you have to do your research before you invest into one. Internals should be changed to Wii-Tech and you have to buy a lot of nozzle springs because it chews them away. But it's a very fun gun to use especially for CQB.

If you play indoor and outdoor variable fps definitely could help you out in the long term. Some aeg is capable of that like some KWA models for example. NPAS does the same in gas powered guns if I'm not mistaken. Spending 600 pounds on a gun is totally pointless in my opinion because you can buy a budget but well built stock gun and change internals for your taste or give it to someone to tune it. You said ar15 or ak that's very vague because there are a few thousand different M4's and AK's on the market and most of them do the same job but look different. Out of box gun would be a Double Eagle M904 if you like honey badger style or some kind if Arcturus if you're into AK's. ASG Scorpion Evo is a very decent gun, too. So many good guns are out there it's impossible to list all of them. If you're into GBBR/HPA 600 pounds is like pocket change especially if you buy everything brand new.

I'd would never spend that amount of money on anything especially not on an AEG. Just imagine you buy a freaking expensive rif and let's say you get bored after 3 months. Amount of money you are gonna lose due selling it's gonna be hundreds of pounds, probably. Expensive guns can be still crap or pretty general internally. What do I mean? You spend 350-400 pound on brand new Krytac/VFC for example and you get a 18:1 gear set and an utter garbage motor which doesn't have either speed nor torque. I'm not saying these expensive brands are necessarily bad (I've got an Avalon Calibur and I love it to bits) but sometimes I feel these manufacturers spend more on marketing than manufacturing a good value gun and trying to get away with the shittiest/cheapest internals/externals if possible. "If you were spending £600 tomorrow what would you be buying and where would you be buying it from?" I'd think what kind of platform I fancy first check classifieds here for a good deal and if no luck then do a bit more research into the guns I prefer. CQB vs. outdoor the other very important thing. You don't need extreme amount of FPS or range if you shoot people within 15-20m distance. Outdoor on the other hand...

GBBR will shake the shit out of any cheap optics, I'd assume. But if you don't want to invest a lot of money I'd buy a Feyachi whatever from amazon or an Aim-O T1. But in long term you should invest into something more durable. But you have to open your wallet, though.

Has anyone noticed that selling rif's getting more difficult recently? It almost feels like everyone is skint which is understandable right now obviously prices are skyrocketing but airsoft has never been the poor man's sport to start with. I have got dreamers usually not people who has money.

Double Eagle M904 series? I had the "G" version and I quite liked it. It has a proper weight but not too heavy at the same time it's size makes it totally suitable for CQB, battery space is okayish good externals and very very good internals at that price point. G&G CM16 Raider is praised everywhere so it could be a good one I don't know. Cyma is known to make good AK's I'm not sure about M4's. Tokyo Marui is way too expensive for your budget and you don't need any kind of gimmick recoil anyway because that "feature" just puts more strain on everything for no reason.

As a fellow glasses enjoyer (:DDD) I'd recommend to get a Bolle Pilot Safety Googles because it's extremely cheap to compared to everything else and you can fully adjust it around your head. You have to get a lower face mask though otherwise you are gonna have a less than desirable smile after a few skirmishes. How about full face mask? Like Valken/Dye i4/i5 etc.?
