what gun to buy on a budget

[machete101]

hello

i am looking to get in to airsofting and was just wanting some advice on what gun to get, however i am on a tight budget of under £100. i have seen a few AEGs that i like, like the DE m901c, but i didnt no to get a AEG or whether to get a high powered pistol, i am a bit confused of what to do. could anyone suggest a good starter gun for my tight budget

i will be using the gun in a forest and i wanted a fairly powerful gun

thanks

Not much worth getting for that price really (that's skirmishable). If you can save to £150 then you'll be able to do a lot better

 

[machete101]

what gun would u recommend for me just starting out then, if i increase my budget to £150+

thanks

Any SRC, classic army sportline, jing gong or cyma those will be great for you,

Here is one of the best starter AEG's I've seen, altho I'm not a personal fan of the G36 it's still a good starter gun for anyone with a low budget

all the best

Im trying to sell a m805a which can be seen here http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php?...ost&p=23034

i know it is not much but its perfect for getting a feel for airsoft. i am open to offers as i have included alot of extra items which did not come with the gun its self.

i have recently fixed up a SRC m4 and i would definately recommend one if you wanted to wait.

but either way the offer is there

Personally, I'd just browse the forums and try to find any AEG selling for under £100 but over £80. Always get a rifle over a pistol, pistols are seriously outclassed...

You might also want to consider looking into the sportline variants - Classic Army make an excellent M15A4, SRC make a decent M4A1, and I gather the ICS sportline are supposed to be excellent as well, although part compatibility is an issue when things start going wrong.

Or if you like I can sell you a KS P90 with a couple of mags and a red dot for £100 - it's a good medium range gun - 350 FPS so won't be out powered for sure (£150 ish new I think) - PM me if you want this as I won't check back here.

Anyway good luck and welcome to airsoft

i have seen this gun and look ok and alrite for what i want, i heard that the gun shoot around 280 with 0.2g and 300+ with 0.12g and has a metal gearbox, can anyone tell me whether this is true

this would be a better priced gun for me if these are true as i not sure whether i will be doing airsofting a massive amount, just doing it with a few mates in a forest

thanks for everyones help

1st Rule of airsoft. NEVER use 0.12g BBs in a decent AEG.

I've heard conflicting reports about this gun - all the manufacturers say this has a metal gearbox, but people who have opened it up say otherwise. My guess is it's a kind of hybrid design, with just enough metal to be legally "metal gearboxed"... just my guess. FPS seems to be more around the 230-240 mark with .2s, which still isn't bad.

1st Rule of airsoft. NEVER use 0.12g BBs in a decent AEG.

And what REM said. If a retailer tells you the FPS a gun will give with .12s, you know for sure it's not a decent gun.

would you say the m805a is worth getting or would it be better to look for a second hand gun of a forum

thanks

 

[MZKaleem]

Second hand, at least it wouldn't have a PGB :lol:

 

[Dan_uk86]

I have heard the m805a comes with a metal gearbox but i cannot confirm this. the whole gun is really solid all round. i really cannot tell what FPS is from the guns i have had which have been labeled in the 250 FPS range i would say the m805a is around that. sadly im not able to crono it for confirmation as i dont know anyone who has one. what i can tell you is using 0.2 bbs it clears 2 sheets of card board(best refferance i can give as thats all i had to fire at xD )

Id very much like to get this gun sold however if you plan on skirmishing alot then definately wait and get a better one.

the choice is yours

Don't bother with the double eagle. Honestly, save up and get yourself something decent You'll only regret buying something cheap when it fails you.

 

[Nutster]

Buy cheap = Buy twice, always the case (well, nearly always) But definately stay away from those DE cheapo 'aegs'

 

[machete101]

im not sure whether to spend that extra £40+ to get a kinda decent gun new but i think the best option for me is to buy a gun second hand. However i dont want to spend too much more as firstly im on a tight budget, secondly i have another kinda expensive hobby and finally im not sure whether i will be doing a great deal of skirmishes and whether that spending that extra money will be worth it for how much i will be using it

what kinda of two tone second hand guns would you say i look for, that will go for £70-£100

thanks

any jing gong or cyma
