Welcome to the forums!

Glock 23 - £40, slide will be hard to find. Mac 11 - £50

Why not save the money, play a few games first, then start shopping for a proper AEG? Instead of buying gas pistols?

Oh boy, where to start.. I'll make a list so it's easier to read: All G&G Combat Machines, pick the one you like the look of. The G&G MOD 0 is an excellent choice. Cyma AK's, M14's, Mp5's A&K/P&J M4's DBoys AK's Classic Army Sportline guns are ok, the plastics are fragile. ICS M4's JG AK's, Mp5s (if you can find one)

7.4v, it'll perform better than a NiMH and will last longer. Won't damage the trigger contacts either. You don't need to mess around with the gearbox, if it sounds 'springy' when you fire it, all King Arms M&P's are like that, I've had one. Something to consider changing is the bucking, inner barrel and nub to improve accuracy and range a little bit.

Lol, my Agila was in the city so the insurance quotes were f*cking absurd, Jazz is at my girlfriends house, so we're now sharing. Only paying around £500 now.

The location

Both G&G's are standard AEG's, the Bolt M4 has recoil. What specific advice are you after?

AGM HK416 upper receiver and a Prowin hop up unit.

Probably.

Some idiot is willing to pay almost £100 for a few used high caps..?? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Airsoft-M4-mags-/281960189007?hash=item41a6230c4f:g:PwEAAOSwxp9W2gbX

ASG box set of 10 mid-caps are excellent for the money.

Welcome back!

KJW P226 then. Purchase a Marui P226 magazine too as the KJ ones don't hold gas.

Tokyo Marui, or KJW and KWA for metal pistols. No one recommends WE 1911s or Hi-capa's because they're utter crap.

Did you leave the bag open for a while?

Priorities on POINT

Cheaper to get new, too.. :/

Welcome to the forums

The contacts are bigger, so you get slightly better performance with lipo's, not so much with NiMH batteries but it's noticeable. For the bucking, I'd get a G&G green, but for slightly more you can get a Firefly bucking from Eagle6. Also get one of these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/182013984538?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT, provides better performance with heavier BB's due to the larger surface area compared to a standard nub. Also consider a R-hop, Proffink on here can sort that out for you for a small price, completely worth it.

It doesn't need upgrading. Maybe change the bucking, nub, barrel and swap to deans but nothing else needs doing unless stuff starts breaking.

Have you played a game yet? If not, play a game and have a go of someones sniper rifle and see if you like it. Because you might not like the bolt-pull of a sub 500 fps rifle. Look here for more info: http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/30038-budget-of-ll-lll-what-gun-to-choose/ Why not? I keep seeing new players wanting to get into sniping thinking that they'll be like Bodgeups/Novritsch and the likes, even though they haven't even played a game yet. The 'spiel' that people give is critical information for you new folks, they're doing you a favour and saving your wallet. Back to what you are here for.. I've found that pre-upgraded sniper rifles are sold because the owners couldn't get them how they wanted them, so they might not perform that well compared to say a stock AEG. Ofcourse, that saves you money, and it might perform how you like it! If you don't like the heavy bolt pull, you can always get a Mancraft SDiK kit, which reduces the bolt pull distance, effort and is very consistent, you can run it via HPA or Co2. It's a good idea to use BB's that are heavier than .30g, so they are less likely to be affected by wind AND so you can make more use of harder buckings so they can apply the most backspin possible, which equals more range. Certain hop-up units for the VSR allow for the use of AEG barrels, buckings and nubs so you have more choice to get the most of your hop-up.
