i think i'm ready to buy my gun and it's accessories but i need someone to check them over

[derpderp]

Thanks for the help. Im going to go with the 8.4nimh because i need too make sure the insides dont melt as my method of playing will be spraying until something yells hit. Im going to go with my current charger but will do the swap once i save up more money. Im going to go with the raider l and not mod it but i did a bit more research on a hop up and its suppossed to be the thing to channge the backspin on the bbs. Would i have to adjust it ?

pull down dust cover - it don't drop down on budget end G&G's and turn wheel a touch

test fire and hopefully the bb's will travel straight rather than curve down/up

adjust or zero you sights - rear sight mainly to now fire where your aiming etc....

that is really it - happy shooting

hop-up upgrade maybe if you find your gun is not performing too well in a few months

should be ok if new, give it barrel a clean at halftime - jeez have a look at some guides

coz ian & others have put some work in these and are a goldmine of info for all of us

i have been doing lot's of my own research into bbs and have come down to 2 brands:

http://www.zerooneairsoft.com/product_info.php?cPath=264_311&products_id=8675 which are g&g pellets

http://www.zerooneairsoft.com/product_reviews.php?cPath=264_311&products_id=4861 which are excel pellets

i'm thinking of going with the g&g pellets as you get more, what does everyone else think?

don't buy .20s. you will get 1000 with the gun, but you will only need them if you want to chrono in the back garden. get .25s (or if you can stretch .28s)

.28s http://www.zerooneairsoft.com/product_info.php?cPath=264&products_id=8682

.25s http://www.zerooneairsoft.com/product_info.php?cPath=264_312&products_id=2356

.25s are much more accurate than .20s because they are heavier so the wind cannot pull them as far and they will travel in a straighter line, and also further. FPS doesn't matter if its shooting 280 - 300 don't worry, it will be worth it...

aren't those a bit too heavy?

also i did more research about the raider and found out g&g recommends a 9.6v nimh battery instead of an 8.4v or lipo

two things, read my edited post.

1. nope, .25s are the lightest you want to use...

2. thats because they are mainstream and it means they are telling noobs to use something that doesn't need a lot of brains = less problems. If you know how to charge a LiPo then you will be fine (its so easy, just braindead people will probably charge with balancer out and star a fire which means they will try to sue or whatever)
