Which Airsoft Gun Should I Purchase

Ok guys guys, after the awesome help, i've managed to narrow down my list of types / brands of the Airsoft Gun....Very interested in the M4 / 16's, especially made by G&G and the Magpul versions, and also the Magpul Masada series. What do you think?

Also, as my side arm i will have this maybe? (Any other recommendations?) ----> http://www.zerooneairsoft.com/product_info.php?cPath=267&products_id=8236 (Do you know where i can get spare mags for this?!)

It'll also really help if you could help me choose a sight for my Assault Rifle i.e. Red dot, Holographic, make, where to buy etc.

Also, any accessories i could buy? I.e. fore grip, extra mags, parts etc.

Finally, please could you guys help me choose my gear, such as vests, armor, clothes etc. I am quite small (please keep that in mind)!

Oh, sorry another question; where can i find batterys and chargers for these guns, would like them to be fairly big and powerful!

Thank you guys soo much for the help, really appreciate it.

Just one more question (cant seem to find this on the internet); Is there a list of EVERYTHING you need to start airsofting with an AEG (inc. gear and stuff etc?) !Thanks once again!

Ok, for starters i know which Airsoft Gun i'm getting well not really actually:

The

G&G Combat Machine AEG CM16 Carbine --> http://www.zerooneairsoft.com/product_reviews.php?products_id=5645&osCsid=008e0cd663f05493ed1250d949e9563a G&G Combat Machine AEG CM16 Raider --> http://www.zerooneairsoft.com/product_info.php?products_id=6076 As the one above ^ has R.I.S rails on the hand-grip so i can install a foregrip (i dont know really) but it also looks more CQB based, might just go with the 1st one. Your opinion!?

But please look at the post above me (my one) first as i really need the info!

 
There's no difference internally with those guns apart from different barrel lengths, if your thinking of getting anything for your foregrip then the 2nd would be better, but it depends personally I'd rather have it and not need it rather than need it and not have it!

Haha, i get what you mean, but wont the shorter barrel length decrease the range of the gun?!

range is dictated by the hop, accuracy (and sometimes fps) is dictated by the barrel ;)

 
Not really, it's more the diameter of the barrel and how good your hop up and air seal are.

 
I personally wouldn't get a sidearm yet, most seasoned airsofters don't use theirs that often if they are honest.

Battery would depend on the gun and if its wired to the front or rear but a 7.4v 1600 MaH should last you a day if you charge using a smart charger.

For clothing anything army surplus will do as its cheap, in supply and built to take punishment! You will need eye protection and I would get a pair of boots

Extras I would get is a spare battery, smart charger, spare magazines, load carrying kit and a pair of gloves

Accessorys for your gun are personal preference , you don't need them, they just look shiny!

Thanks alot, do you know where i could purchase spare mags and a smart charger?

 
Well I would go with wherever you get your gun from you can pick up a set of 5 MAG mid cap magazines off eBay for abot £35 or 8 from patrol base for £52

We can help bro, but you might want to take alook yourself first and then ask us if it's good gear, rather than getting us to scour the internet to find you don't like it. Whenever i've made a topic (Which i've made a fair few :L) I've always done some background research first and then asked the guys on here to back up my decisions, or help with things I can't find anywhere else. Good brands are: Warrior and Flyye (Others aswell, but they're the tried and trusted ones) Here are a few good places to look for gear:

And I don't really think a sidearms neccesary... You mayer's well spend the money on better gear/Mags etc ;)

 
I've gotta agree with Shinobi, you're unlikely to use your sidearm at all unless you go out of your way to use it. Save your money unless you're sure you need it.

Err, don't know much about sight's. You could go Red Dot/HoloSight, like you've said. And for £36, you might be able to get better. G&P Holo's are $55 I think? Even an ACM one'll do :P
