Last shot at getting an airsoft gun

So my dad wants me to give him the link of the airsoft in looking to buy, however it comes with certain limitations. If it's too expensive it will put him off but if I get a cheap one and it breaks then bye bye airsoft. So, 3 years of narrowing it down has come to the following. I tried more respectable sites but I struggled to find one under £40 (£40 is still most likely too much) So the links:

That's all of them. Please state which one you think is best and what you've heard on them or if you have any better suggestions. This is my last shot at it and Ineed to get this right.

3 years could all be for nothing if I don't lol.

Thanks again,

James

 
I know you said pick from the list but the Bison pump-action shotgun range is fantastic in my experience. Accurate, reliable, durable, and just generally fun.

I don't have experience with many of the others but they don't look like they're the best quality, apart from the G36C springer, I've tried that at a friend's house, albeit for a short time, but I liked it.

 
what are you planning on doing with it?

(and I doubt anyone would recommend any of those guns.... and def not those retailers!)

 
Three years does seem like a long time to choose a gun, and unfortunately, there really isn't a lot of guarantee that guns at a low price point won't break. It really depends on how well you treat them, if you invest in quality BBs, and how often, if at all, you skirmish with them.

 
None.

If your budget is honestly that tight airsoft isn't the game for you. A skirmish day will cost you £30 with ammo.

Have you ever thought its best to leave it until you are older and have your own income. Sorry if that comes across harsh but airsoft is an expensive game to play and the kit while not hugely expensive is still not cheap because once you own it then you have to maintain it. I have spent 10× your budget on spares and repairs alone in the last couple of months.

 
TriggerHappy is spot on. The cheapest I've played for a skirmish day is £25, and that was a fun fairly unorganised woodland game. You'll just have to wait until your older. Sorry, but if spending £40 is such a big deal to you that you wait three years before purchasing an airsoft gun, you genuinely cannot play airsoft, it simply is not possible for you.

This is just so they get an idea of what it is, if I can be trusted etc. Will be used for plinking etc.

I have enough to get a better one but this is just so they know what an airsoft time is, if I can be trusted etc.

 
None of those can be trusted though :S

Get a springer shotty - still plenty of fun for plinking. If you can stretch the budget then a cheapo cheapo sniper rifle is a lot of fun for a back garden too, but obviously not a good demonstration of what airsoft is really about because at that point you're basically just shooting cans with a super budget air rifle.

Could you not take them to a game and rent?

You need to somehow convince them that it's a fun hobby you want to pursue. A £40 will not show them the way that actual skirmishable guns work and perform. I think you should wait and save for a few years and get a CM16 raider, or at the very least, use that £40 for a full-day skirmish and show them how much fun you're having with more expensive gear.

ONLYBBGUNS are perhaps the better of the 3 " BB Places" imho


AEG - hmmm can't recommend one 101% I'm afraid real cheap in UK
well I can but not with a glowing backing and anything really cheap is often a gamble not worth taking tbh....

So I won't advise a really cheap n nasty aeg if budget is around £50 to £80 - you gotta go at least £90 - £100 for a decent s/hand raider starter kit somebody might be selling

OnlyBBGuns still sell some crap but some really cheap stuff like I listed ain't bad - well not ultra $hit

Plus the 10% discount code RC10 still works so you could get a gas non blowback HG-105 for £27
(add on gas n bb's etc... )

yes some stuff is a bit lame but maybe better lame stuff at a better lame price is all I'm saying
not the best stuff but certainly better than some of the crap I bought from JBBG & BBGuns4Less
(actually BBGuns4Less are still better than that chubby liar bastid @ JBBG - don't give him any more money ffs please)

sorry now the 3rd time I posted but with regards to that fat lying JambWow it has to be said:

get em to watch some of the airsoft videos online perhaps scoutthedoggies ones so they can see what its like how your getting exercise etc put everything in a good light not the "oh I might get shot in the teeth and fall over a log and break my leg in 40 places" :D save those for later

 
Thanks siting duck I'll take a look at those. Looking at the springer shottys as they were suggested when I first joined here. Going to a game day with friends at Spartan 21st August (my first game) and renting. Parents can't come to any game days.

 
I can't remember the name of a spring shotgun, been suggested loads. Around £40, spring, pump action it sounds like shotty I think.

For the m92 pistol what has do you recommend?
 
Thinking about it I want to spend as little as possible and will most likely get s cheap Spring one that a friend has (the g21). Tried it and it felt quite good he's had it for 3 years and it still works. I really don't want to spend too much to I have money left over for the cm16 starter kit when/if I do get fully into this sport.

 
Jebus, a quad post? Use edit and multiquote.

The shotty you're thinking of is any of the tri-shot clones. ASG does one and so do Double Eagle and a bunch of others. The 'Franchi' is what ASG call it, I believe. They're really all the same though in terms of build quality split across two groups: some fire single and have an adjustable hop and some are tri-shot and have no hop.
