A second hand combat machine is about all that will fit that budget, and I wont sell mine that low delivered but maybe someone will.

Yeah see what you mean about the mount its nice.

Welcome to airsoft.
I will warn you if you get into it its as addictive as crack and just as expensive.
Cant comment on the RM4 I have never used one PT247 above is always raving about it and most importantly actually owns one so I would listen to his advice. Main thing is try it out with a rental for a few games then buy the one you want most, listen to advice but in the end its your money your choice. It isnt cheap especially when the wife starts threatening to leave because you spend all your time playing with your weapon not her.

Welcome to the forum!
 
You're right there aren't many electric guns with 'recoil' (really just a vibration, but a lot more fun to shoot)
There's the Tokyo Marui 'Recoil Shock' range, but they're ~ £450+
Bolt, but apparently they break quickly (ERG RM4 is nicer anyway)
Lastly will mention G&P. They tried it but doesn't seem to have been very popular at all (the recoil feature seems non-existent)
 
Downside with the PTS ERG is that I don't know anywhere which has them in stock anymore? Maybe Redwolf...LWA sold out ages ago then suddenly had 2 or 3 back in stock again - went quickly
Also if you wanted to swap out the handguard for a RIS there's no space for the battery so you'd have to use a battery box like an AN/PEQ-15 replica
KWA were supposed to release a new rear-wired version but never did
 
G&Gs are definitely a good choice as a starter gun, can't go wrong with them at all (I only know ONE exception which is the M416s -called the T418 I think- which come with sh*t MOSFETs)
Depends what your budget is really...
 
I'd like to say that parts were interchangeable as with real M4s but really aren't
Some guns will be very specific with which magazines they will take (as in how well they actually fit in the magwell and the feeding etc)
On my sh*tty CYMA M4 I have tried a PTS ACS stock but it wobbles a lot, yet would probably work fine on a G&G and others
You'll probably have most problems with cheaper guns as the better quality rifles are made to more accurately to exact dimensions and tighter tolerances closer to real firearms
 
Hope this helps and it's alright to repeat stuff, it happens all the time from beginners and experienced guys
It's a complicated hobby + people learn about guns themselves and all the different airsoft manufacturers and then there's regulations we have don't help - probably puts a lot of people off and especially with the amount of misinformation that goes around about it being a licence and so on

it's an added extra, cost me a leg.

Yeah I've played against him at Red1's the school. He successfully fills a double doorway and is a very imposing sight. But like many huge guys he's really chilled out and takes everything really well.

Yep. He's massive. Makes him an easy target mind you...
 
 
Lovely bloke though.

This has just turned up, for my M14 EBR
 

I've got the moab, great bit of kit

5.11 Range Master WP boots and Rush MOAB 10 backpack. Great service from Tactree.

It's brilliant, it fits like a dream and takes my M4 mags or HK417 mags no bother. I got a commanders panel, pistol holster, double pistol mag pouch and a larger dump/utility pouch for it aswell.
 
Here's the base rig

You do now Short inside the gearbox, Some laugh watching me trying to get it out of my stock before I lost it too.
 

Regatta soft shell jacket £20 TK Maxx bargain.
Warrior DAR rig
Emerson coyote pants
 
End result

 
Special forces eyes-priceless! 😆

Or invincible mate, SOME newbies think its bloody COD or something but then they probably do it so they can brag to there mates "I didn't get hit but i hit all the experienced guys"
 
Just reminded me (its not honourable but its still a bonehead thing)
 
Last game I played in woodland (with beast mode) this rental guy was taking pot shots so I fired & hit him in the head, I got hit almost immediately so stick my hand up to which the rental does the same but sticks the V sign up at me, I ask what's that about but he gives me a load a crap so I walk down & asks him the same question
 
He replys with "that was a great shot" so I say 'why the fingers ?? I'm not stupid, your telling me to fuck off' he had no answer but I still shook his hand for taking his hit and me being the better man
 
Sufficed to say he was shiting himself when I challenged him

ok first off the website is charging way too much for that CYMA look here http://www.taiwangun.com/en/cm-041k?from=listing&campaign-id=19
Secondly, the TM is obv better. the CYMA is just a clone of an older TM MP5.
if u can afford the TM get that if you cant get the cyma thats about it really
 
why you would want to upgrade a TM high cycle is beyond me.

I've just seen this up for sale on fb
 

 
Someone's put an MP5K RIS on a full size MP5

straw mod ? do tell ! As i don't know which mod to do, there's a few but the straw is a first on me mate

Eh, just some tritium sights and freedom art fibre optic front sights along with unnecessary CNC aluminium slides and outer barrels. Some replacement steel parts like slide catches etc. Nothing major (can be seen here http://shop.ehobbyasia.com/catalogsearch/result/index/?cat=&limit=80&q=HK45)
 
Tbh nothing there is necessary for the HK45. TM guns are made worse by adding things like metal slides, the whole point of TM's plastic slide is to increase gas efficiency. That's the entire reason why the TM M1911 performs far better than it's WE counterpart, as it is more gas efficient with the same amount of gas as the WE mags.
 
If you'd read any of the replies in this thread, a lot of them advise against any internal upgrades or metal slide kits. TM guns perform perfectly well, the company has a reputation for extremely good GBB pistols.
 
As for aftermarket support- the gun came out a year ago and what you see at retailers today are probably the only parts which will ever be available for it. The HK45 is quite a niche pistol compared to Glocks, P226/8s etc, hence why not a lot of customisation parts are around.
 
It's like comparing something like an AUG to an M4, there's loads of aftermarket parts for M4s as they are immensely popular both in the airsoft world and in shooting circles. Almost every manufacturer makes a line of M4 type AEGs/GBBRs. There's loads of bits and pieces for M4s and such because they are so popular, there's even a place in the US which makes custom CNC hand guards for M4s.
In comparison, AUGs have almost no aftermarket support (and any customisation parts are based off very old designs and almost never in stock) and this is because they aren't as popular, and only a few manufacturers make them.

New boots!

 
Look at those pins! Ha

An exception would be the 'Honey Badger'
... it looks sh*t too

Hi! Also new so thought I'd comment on this post rather than starting a fresh! Based in the north west, first game on Wednesday and can't wait

lent my BFG to another player. when he moments later walked back dead I asked him if he got a chance to use it. turns out he thought it was an impact grenade and had removed the sprint then held on it XD

Not sure whose fault it was as both of us made incorrect assumptions, but it seemed rather hilarious either way ^^

Was the kids mate an umpa loompa or did they just have a really dodgy spray tan?

Not saying they're bad just that being used by a military isn't enough to suggest they're great. Uktactical tend to sell decent stuff though so I'd be surprised if it's not decent.
