Supporters sp00n Posted May 5, 2013 Supporters Share Posted May 5, 2013 Still think I might have to get an AEP, I can't go spending 55p on two mags. Today on my springer I must've got through 6+ :/ Ed's is just green gas mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinobi Posted May 5, 2013 Author Share Posted May 5, 2013 Ed's is just green gas mate Yeah, but im prettty skint so i'd have to spend like £110+ on the gun and mag and the 55p everytime I used 2 mags (C02). It'll end up being more than the CM16 :L I can't get many two tone AEP's though, so i'll still have to consider it... ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRTIGHE Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 You could just go for a different pistol... usually CO2 is very efficient at something like 120-150 shots per capsule. Or as sp00n said you could get a green gas pistol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or as sp00n said you could get a green gas pistol. Green Gas isn't an option. I can't have an AEP for winter and a gas gun for other times, I just can't afford it I need one pistol that'l work all the time (Well, maybe not like -5 celcius :L) AEP's aren't as strong and I prefer the C02 ones. I might be able to afford it if one capsule = 120-150 shots, I thought it'd be like one mag/one and a half mags = one capsule Im looking at the WE HI-CAPA's, any other good ones you know of? U£100 and C02 compatible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike636 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 If your looking for a G&G Combat machine have a look at the CM16 R8 L from pro airsoft supplies, you get a red dot included and leaves spare change for batteries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters jcheeseright Posted May 6, 2013 Supporters Share Posted May 6, 2013 Top tip; don't buy a pistol until you can afford to run one! You don't need one at any point ever, my pistol gets maybe 50 BBs put through it a month and I play a LOT of CQB. Spend the money on something you'll use more like extra mags for your primary. Or, save it and get a better rifle, for an extra £100+ you'll get a much better gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Ian_Gere Posted May 6, 2013 Supporters Share Posted May 6, 2013 I empathise with the pistol thing, Shinobi, but James is totally right, they are not necessary. I'm generally pretty stubborn but in this regard I did listen to other people's experience. But I still wanted a bloody pistol, damn it! So I bought a plastic CO2 Non Blow Back - £35 from Action Hobbies +P&P. TBH it's a bit of a beast: only just comes in under 370FPS, sometimes the 1st shot will be 374-ish, but by the 5th shot it's down to around 350. It isn't accurate out of the box, but it has an adjustable front sight which sorts it out a treat. My review is in the Pistol Reviews section of the forum "Firepower CO2 Raider (USP)". An extra mag or two would be more use though, or a decent battery... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think, as im on a tight ish budget im not going to get a pistol, I'll just get some accesories for my M4 (When I get it). Also, when the time comes, i'll probably just get an AEP as it's cheaper (Cyma Sig 226).Lastly, where are trusted places to get Magpul from?

It's practically exactly the same, and for airsoft purposes would be absolutely fine. If you bought real Magpul PTS stuff it would end up costing the Earth. Best place to buy is from China/HK. Never had a problem with using AliExpress suppliers (http://www.aliexpress.com) but i'd recommend buying Magpul from here: http://airsoftcart.com/21-magpul-series?id_category=21&n=50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Ian_Gere Posted May 6, 2013 Supporters Share Posted May 6, 2013 eHobby are alright, but they balls up orders. They've done it to me before, but they did sort it out. RedWolf are like a lot of Asian suppliers in that you can't get any info off them because they don't respond to emails, but unlike most others they've got a UK retail outlet. It's on FaceBook: Redwolf Airsoft (UK Retail Shop) but your best off phoning them rather than emailing. They're pretty helpful. Dunno the other site you mentioned.

JRTIGHE Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 i would advise that you read some reviews on aliexpress ....... i almost ordered some stuff through them .... lucky escape from what i have read I've ordered a lot of things through AliExpress. AliExpress isn't a shop, it's a marketplace for Asian companies to market their goods to the west. Some suppliers won't be very efficient, but as long as you look at the feedback for each product you'll be absolutely fine. I've had a lot of good orders from them. AliExpress uses an Escrow service which means they as a third party handle your money until YOU say you're happy with the products you've received, and then they release the money to the seller. So all in all, the seller doesn't get a lot out of selling you a bad product - so it's in their interest to provide you with good service. As I said, check out AirsoftCart is they're very good. They have very quick delivery (and they're also on AliExpress if you want to go through them). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im looking at Red Wolf at the mo, seems (With Express Shipping which they say I have to have?) the same price as buying from the UK :/ And they don't sell Magpul at their UK branch :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRTIGHE Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 If you order from China, it's best to just go with the standard 'air mail small packet' which is either though China Post or Hong Kong Post. That usually arrives in 1-2 weeks depending on the supplier's efficiency. It also means that when you have the slower delivery, you don't get done for customs charges. I've had loads of parcels and through that delivery none of them have any customs tax/fees ANYTHING. eHobbyAsia and RedWolf are basically westernised Asian sites. Their prices aren't actually that good. ACMGear.com is a good one and so is WGCShop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
