Hint: Look up the effect of different voltages in airsoft guns

Proffrink, if you had read the earlier messages, I'm getting an adult/relative to get a ukara and then gift me the gun

And I don't really know why the 8.4 just got told by someone it's the best option

Wait, If a relative with a ukara bought a RIF for me, can I use it if I don't have a ukara?
I REALLY wouldn't do this.
Don't skip on the eye protection. if there's one thing you should REALLY put your money on is eye protection.
I've seen way too many pics of facemasks from ebays and even airsoft retailers break with a 320 ish FPS .2 BB.
Also, most of the glasses marked EN166 F do not offer enough protection for most woodland sites.
Don't just get "something". Get a proper mask, or a proper googles/eyeshields. Whichever fits you best and it's more comfortable and safe for you.
I've wasted way too much money buying crappy guns, ended up selling to fund for proper eyewear. Had a few close calls. One of the bolle glasses got hit in the lens and the lens popped out. I then tried googles, eyeshields and meshes to find which sits better.
Again, your skirmish site may have a selection for you to try and rent, or ask other players. I've been always very lucky with other players sharing/letting me try stuff and I've returned the favour as often as I could.
Seriously, if you are not sure which weapon to buy, this! ^^
My team has quite a selection of rifles now from JG to ICS, CA to TM to top G&G. We still bring 2 of these and they never skipped a beat!
Light, portable, they interface with a lot of other gear. You get a nice amount of mags for these, you can then still get any weapon that uses M4/M16 mags and not have to re-buy mags.
For the price, you can't go wrong. Best weapon you can get. If you decide to get something else in the future, keep it as a reserve, or for a mate that wants to join you for a weekend or something.
EDIT: Also, these variants has the most spare parts out there
EDIT2: http://www.zerooneairsoft.com/product_info.php?products_id=6076 this is the one we carry.

Yeh that's what I will get, is the 8.4 battery best for it? And can you buy any foregrip and slide it on?

Please can someone answer this... I'm stuck"Wait, If a relative with a ukara bought a RIF for me, can I use it if I don't have a ukara?"
h34r: You don't need UKARA for 2-tones, most people are happy with 2-tones, just take your parent to a shop, say "i want that one", job done.
Do not pass GO; Do not remove the 2-tone from the gun you have bought.
Though really, go play the game first, one of the purposes of UKARA is to ensure that only REAL airsoft players and a few select other groups can purchase/make Realistic Imitation Firearms (RIFs).
If you have a relative with UKARA, you should ask them first, anything someone on here might say is moot until you do that.
The answer to this question is in the 9th, 11th, 14th, 21st, 25th, and 43rd posts in this thread.

Good post. Luka, no one is trying to unfairly deny you the pleasures of going out and buying your own gun, but you must understand what a legal knifedge this hobby sits on, and how careful we must be to ensure its longevity for all.
Every time someone goes out and bends the rules we open ourselves up to losing a very enjoyable past-time, and we certainly wouldn't be the first country to have so. As I said before, most rental equipment is going to be as good - if not better- than anything you could afford to buy right now, so it's not too bad.
Get out and play first. The rest will fall into place.

Thanks, that's it, I'm going to go and play a few games! Then I will decide if I want to get a gun, if I do get a gun I will probably just get a 2 tone because it's the safest option?
