noob who needs help from a experienced member

[JackHG]

So I'm looking to buy my first (decent) airsoft gun, I'm looking for a AEG but I'm unsure of what to look in to. Please recommend a rifle suited for use in a woodland and keep in mind my distaste for ak's. All help is appreciated!

G&G combat machine for an M4, SRC G36 (as long as its the latest version)

Hire a few times and have a look at everyone else's guns, ask to try holding a few and see what suits you. Don't buy anything from a web site with bb guns in the name. Read all the guides people have made.

Thanks russe11 for the quick reply and great advice this has really helped out

Hi have a look at Ians Guide for noobs in the "new arrivals" section of this site, its full of useful info. As Russe11 says get out and try a few guns at your local site (or retailer if you have one close by) before deciding what suits you. Bear in mind a lot of cheap China clones will need downgrading so these are best avoided, especially for a first buy.

Welcome to the forums!

As the other guys said, G&G do their Combat Machine range of M4s which are great quality for a beginner gun.

Anybody tried the DyTac range ?

Seem a good price !

Anyone ever used or owned a G&G Combat Machine CM16 Raider, any opinions on it?

 

[Russe11]

Not owned one, but it comes highly recommended and most of our newbies seem to end up with one (the ones that pay attention to advice at least).

 

[JackHG]

Yeah it looks like one of the best I can find. Do you recommended any sites to use for buying? Not that I'm planning on buying at the moment

Lots of people recommend Zero One, they are usually a few pence cheaper than anywhere else for G&G. I like Landwarrior because they have an awesome clearance section

Decent enough, but a touch pricey for a n00b?

 

[Russe11]

Also why are you recommending an MP5 for someone wanting a rifle for woodland? Mp5's are great for CQB and urban environments but the magazine is too long to crawl through vegetation easily. Don't get me wrong, I love MP5's but sadly an M4 would be a better choice here. TM guns are nice but a beginner will want a budget gun that's capable of shooting well and can be upgraded later if needed. The G&G combat machine M4's fit that bill perfectly.
