Airsoft_Mr B

I've just been using my pistol in CQB, saves having to take a rifle. I was going to recommend a pistol but if you want to play outdoors as well get something like this: What Monty said...G&G MP5 http://airsoftzone.co.uk/egm-mp5-a4-blowback-aeg-gng?filter_name=mp5 Should be able to afford a charger and battery with what's left out of the £150 budget (charger: http://www.patrolbase.co.uk/airsoft-battery-chargers/we-europe-weeu-l3-compact-balance-charger-lipo.htm#.VPzlHPmsWPt) If you did want to go for a pistol I'd say TM M&P9 + Fobus holster + extra mag and that would be around £160.

Magazine pouch like this? http://www.uktactical.com/p-5588-warrior-m60minimim249-saw-pouch-coyote-tan.aspx Maybe a triple magazine shingle on the rear of your PC so squadmates can grab ammo if they need it off you. A pack (e.g. Warrior Cargo Pack, Tactical Tailor Removable Operator Pack) for carrying more gear and BBs or something.

Hmm Arktis stuff looks really interesting. Ordered some Mil-Com boots and another Glock magazine from Patrol Base. Not had any time to go to the store so paying for next day delivery so it will turn up before members night on Tuesday. That means I should have 3 deliveries coming some time now.

ASG Blasters 0.20s or 0.25s in my opinion. You could buy a brand like Green Devils or BB Bastards but no point spending a lot on them to use in a normal AEG. By the way there's a quick questions and answer thread in the General Discussion section which is useful for these kind of questions.

Welcome mate

Can't think of any other places that will be better. I was gonna recommend Airsoft Zone, never used them myself but I've heard they're good. And yeah probably the best prices around. Check the 'Places to Buy' section - there might be some reviews of Airsoft Zone there.

Webpage not available? Think I really want one of these myself now...

I've heard the nozzle will break very easily. The full auto fire is a tempting feature but I bought a Glock 17 so I'm not tempted by it, and the pistol will probably last a lot longer as a result. I think mine's great, and lots of people are happy with the WE Glocks. I think WE made some improvements from the Gen 3 hence the positive reviews. It's a shame some of their even newer pistols seen to have problems when they did so well with these in comparison. I'd say buy either that (but shop around for the best deal) or look at Tokyo Marui pistols, which are superb. They'll be around £120+ and are all (good quality) polymer, but worth it. TM are widely considered the best you can get.

Not worth £80 at all for what you get. I'd either save up for a better rifle (e.g. the G&G) or as you say you really can't go above 80, second hand or a springer tri-shot shotgun (http://www.patrolbase.co.uk/airsoft-shotguns-and-grenade-launchers/asg-franchi-sas-12-short-version.htm#.VPuMlfmsWPs) Think they two-tone for a tenner. Got my first gun from them and the paint was good. I think they use Krylon which is quality stuff.

Yeah look at pre-owned guns!

I appreciate you have a small budget but I think it would be really worth saving up for that bit longer to afford something else. There will be big difference is quality from the Blackviper compared to something like a CYMA or G&G. Or hire first until you get a defence which is what I'd recommend. If you get a UKARA defence you could order from overseas (for example, Polish sites Gunfire and TaiwanGun -made my 2nd order with them a few days ago but no guns this time-) which is a lot cheaper. An argument against this is that it's not supporting UK stores, but you could obviously still buy other things from domestic retailers in the future. You could buy a JG G36 (Widely known as a reliable rifle - were used a lot as hire guns at skirmish sites) for ~ 100/110 euros if I remember correctly. Shipping is a £10 flat rate, which is good considering a lot of places here will charge £6+ It used to be if you spent ~£70 you'd get free shipping but now the threshold is around £250 instead.

Sorry I'm on phone was replying to the JPC post thought it was the latest one. Very nice rifle btw

"Affordable"

For my CQB loadout - Bulle MARPAT MCCUU Trousers Black T-Shirt and a sweat rag thing http://www.flecktarn.co.uk/dpcns5nx.html

What about a Tippman M4? They're pretty new so I'd wait on more reviews and things but they are really easy to adapt to a HPA set up from CO2 magazines. The accessibility to a HPA conversion is the defining feature but if you want it to be a proper project build I guess that isn't the same. In terms of GBBRs, GHK are really good. They do M4s for ~£450, WE GBBR M4s are around the £275-£320 range. KWA seem to be out of stock everywhere and judging by the number of retailers who had them...I'd say there was never many imported or much demand? Correct me if I'm wrong but basically good luck finding a new LM4 anyway. There's supposed to be a Tokyo Marui GBBR M4 coming out, the MWS. It was announced the same time as the M&P and 870 Breacher but haven't heard anything on it since.

Airsoft Innovations Propane Adaptor Kit G&G Kill Rag (cos it was a quid)

Oh right! That does sound good. Actually a very nice looking rifle too OP - I'd recommend a good pair of boots, unless you already got some from cadets? A chest rig would be a good idea though, like BigAl suggested. Something like one of these? http://flecktarn.co.uk/sdtmb6nx.html http://flecktarn.co.uk/sdtmb1nx.html I have the second one (in olive though) I think when I bought mine it was cheaper but still a good price though. Alternatively take a look at Condor gear (Military 1st is a good site) as another affordable option

Never really heard of BO Dynamics before...I think you'd be better off getting a well known brand like G&G or G&P instead for that kind of price.

Hmm well ICS L85s are probably the most popular of all manufacturers. I heard they're more reliable than the G&G and Ares ones. Wouldn't recommend GBBRs to beginners though, and then you're looking at another £200 at least if you want the Daniel Defense rail, extra mags (probably £50 each) and/or any internal upgrades.

Think I might get some myself when I buy a PC, shame they must be AR magazine compatible only with the Kydex inserts (cos I want an AUG)

I can't really answer your questions but if you do decide to get one of these they are a bit cheaper at Land Warrior (£57.20 I believe)
