Need advice

[TheAmerican]

First off I didn't become interested in Airsoft because of Call of Duty or whatever other shooting games there are. Airsoft has always been something I wanted to try and I have the chance to buy an airsoft gun. I am not going for springs or gas. As a beginner I think electric will be a good start, but if I am wrong please tell me. I really do not know which gun to get, and when I say which I do not mean type of gun what i'm talking about is "quality" I have found this and i do not know if it is worth the buy because I do not want to buy it and then it breaks.

Any advice will be much appreciated.

Welcome to the forums

You're generally best of avoiding that website and you would be best off if you spent £100+ on something to ensure it is of reasonable quality.

Firstly welcome to the forums mate.

Now onto your question in short no its gunna be pants ask your self 3 things

1. Will I give up airsoft after a few games?

2. Will I get ukara registered?

3.will I want to preform upgrades to my aeg in the future?

If u answer no, yes, yes then hold out and use a hire gun untill u get your defence sorted then buy an rif from ics, gng etc you may even find a good second hand rif on the sales section on the forums but as with anything u get what u pay for and expect to spend around 130 upwards for a good entry level aeg that you can upgrade

Hope this helps as its the advice I got from the guys when I asked a similar question.

Welcome to the forum.

If your going for that style of gun then I cannot recommend this one enough. (dont buy from justbb )

after some playing about mine now looks like this

Ok thanks guys for your input really helped out a lot. It seems ideal to just hire guns till I get my UKARA or go for that g36. Quick question tho if I bought a two tone gun that is decent and I received my UKARA would i be able to paint it?

 

[kungfumonkey]

Yes as soon as u have your defence sorted u can paint it

I found this and i think it is pretty good i think it is pretty good the battery and charger is sold separately and i would have to tick the two tone option if i decide to get it befor the UKARA thing

Nice choice. Range is slightly limiting in Woodland or other large outdoor scenarios, but anything up to 40m and you're good.

I have a review in the AEG review section if you want to take a look.

Bear in mind I have the more expensive metal version - but the internals and therefore also the performance, will be the same.

Thanks Ed I read your review and it helped out quite a bit. I have decided to get it its just a matter of time and saving money although it will be awhile because I have already booked flights to Washington D.C for a month, but I know of a site to skirmish at there

You mentioned for skirmishes that you'd recommend fitting in a tighter barrel if I'm right does that increase the range on the weapon?

Depending what you go for you would be expecting an increase in power, range & accuracy...MP5 is quite a short barrel so I dont think youll add too much range but some power and accuracy will be your mains.

 

[Airsoft-Ed]

The difference won't be a huge one but you will notice it. Tight barrel, use .25s and maybe upgrade the hop up as well.

I wouldn't touch anything else as the gun is absolutely flawless.
