Supporters M_P Posted November 4, 2012 Supporters Share Posted November 4, 2012 No, don't bother with it, it wont last long and will be next to useless in a game. For £150, look at the G&G combat machine range in the lower half of this page: http://www.proairsof...at-Machine.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-Force Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 No, don't bother with it, it wont last long and will be next to useless in a game. For £150, look at the G&G combat machine range in the lower half of this page: http://www.proairsof...at-Machine.html I'd recommend the same, plus pro airsoft supplies are a good place to buy from. There are a few good classic army and king arms budget guns around as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sl1k Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 I can't say i'd recommend a combat machine. Long term, when he wants to start upgrading and stuff it will frustrate him that most the gun is made of a cheap plastic. If he likes AR platforms, then I suggest a JG M4 or maybe a JG G36c. They are cheap, reliable and a fantastic upgrade platform once they know what they are doing. I know people who have run these guns without touching the internals, put the guns through hell and back and they still run incredibly. If hecares for AKs, then DBOYS or CYMA is the way to go. Cybergun have rebrands of CYMA, but with french quality control. So that's pretty good too (I have one of them myself.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Force Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 I started with JG and it's true they're very good guns to later upgrade. However as far as I was aware they're difficult to obtain after what happened in China and I've hardly seen any for sale over the past few years. Also I wouldn't put down G&G so easily. Their new guns are miles better than their old ones which were mostly terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
