Thanks for all your input, it is helpful. I’m going to read old posts to try and learn as much as I can.

Hi Shamal, Appreciate the response and advice. I’ll check out the Gamble videos. I can see how expensive this hobby is already and I’ve not bought anything 😁. That’s the experience I’ve had when researching, different people have different experiences with the kit. I guess I’ll try and go with a decent make and hope I’m one of the lucky ones. I’ve played there and it’s amazing! Carlos is such a nice guy and always there to help you. I saw on FB there’s a new site, very much looking forward to playing there. With a CQB site do you have to have a CQB gun, or can you have a longer barrel gun (it prob. has a technical name 😂) but obviously it may be a little more awkward to navigate in an enclosed area? Hi, Thanks for the advice. I can definitely see the benefit of having multiple weapons. Never mind two jobs, I think a third job is going to be needed! I’ve noticed there’s more video reviews than non-video reviews, but I guess that makes sense and is helpful. I agree, I’m looking to have fun rather than win - bad news for some as I know it can get competitive with people yelling stuff I’ve never heard of before - sorry you want me to what, move where, why didn’t you just say that 😂 Some of the G&G’s look nice and do get good reviews. I’ll definitely consider. That’s a good point about looking at other players guns.

Hi Everyone, I’m new to Airsoft and have only played 4 games (rented equipment). I’m in my 40’s so not a young speedy player. I now have a UKARA and I’m looking to buy an M4 type gun. I have a budget of up to £400 for the gun and an additional £150 for the batteries, mags, protection etc.. I have been playing in woodlands, but would also like to play indoors. I would rather have a gun that’s good out of the box and not have to initially upgrade, although in time I’d like to upgrade it, but happy for that to be a different gun to this recommendation. I’d rather have a gun that performs rather than looks good, obviously both would be great. I’m after some advice regarding: 1. What websites and social media channels would you recommend to learn more about the hobby and interact with like minded players 2. What M4 brands and guns would you recommend. I seem to come across a lot of conflicting information, for example I’ve heard G&G used to be good, but not so much now and VFC and Krytac are good out of the box but the UK version of Krytac comes with a 20k motor instead of a 30k, as sold abroad, which stops it being as good. 3. Any site recommendations that’s within 30 miles of Northampton. I’ve heard there is a site in Leicester called The Department and one in Nottingham which I need to research. 4. Now you’ve been playing for many months/years, what advice would you give a newbie? Appreciate you taking the time to read and respond, so thanks! Tony
