I and sure many others on here will say G&G Carbine or Raider is a great start
yup it is a M4 but a very well built one for the money, plastic but not ya usual cheap
HongKong rubbish - no sir
This is quality Taiwanese Enginnering as Del Boy Trotter would say.....
Seriously - M4 with 300 to 450 or so magazines on a well built gun with decent gearbox
You may like MP5's but has smaller capacity mags of say 200
or AK47 with bigger 500 or 600 mags
or G36 with say 350 - 450-ish mags
They are your main choices - a few others like SCAR - ohh I'm not gonna list all types
them 4 are the main types people may choose as their primary
there are others but once you deviate from the bulk selling lines the price goes up
(supply n demand I guess)
me I think Raider for about £125 ish is great coz has rails already to mount stuff on
be careful not get gas blowback - just a normal £125 G&G CM Raider will do
now you gotta buy charger battery mask - probably mesh type, extra mags bb's etc...
will probably take you up to £175 aprox
your pistol could be used as a last ditch resort but normally pistols need to fire at 200fps
rifles at 300fps to 350 - might be only 328fps or 100m/sec at your site
it is not a £350 gun with £100 upgrades but will hopefully allow some chance and allow
you to have a go and enjoy your day
JBBG stuff at a proper site will not allow you to get near somebody picking you off before
you can get near enough to shoot them and you will get the hump
Airsoft relies on a just a few things:
safety - common sense so listen n respect marshals n other players - yup even the bell ends
fair play - if you get hit once you are dead - not COD even in the foot you are HIT
if in doubt then call it - it ain't a prize competition if we don't try to play fair then may as just
stay at home and target shoot in garden so to speak
enjoy yourself - don't worry if you K/D is negative, mine still is but often I can get 1 good kill
or funny moment that outweighs any bad unfair judgement etc...
you will play against regulars, good skilled people who know the layout so you can't expect
to dominate on your first outing and it ain't COD - they know you are attacking and they will
be expecting you or hunting you so it won't be a breeze
soz about the long bit but many are suprised when their first day they are knackered and shot to $hit
G&G I have learnt are the best starting guns - even mid range guns I think
so it will be a wise decision you won't regret later like crap I have bought in past
there are loads of places to buy from but unsure about Irish shipping etc....

The * ones deffo sell G&G but atm a lot are out of stock due to summer and a big Airsoft Even over weekend
but will give you an idea to look at G&G range - zero one probably and LWA have a massive choice of stuff
on their sites so you may look n decide you are more a G36 or AK kind of person
do a bit of research looking around and ask if unsure - maybe create a new thread though as this is getting way off topic
now so soz to mods if they wanna clean up thread a bit or move stuff
other makes are out there like models but G&G M4's are good and parts are easy n cheap to get hold of as they so popular
soz for going on - there are numerous other threads and some new to airsoft guides written by much more wiser members
have a browse n think about it
