zetec Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Dont go to Bunker 51 for your first go at airsoft, if I had I would not be playing now. Find a local outdoor site where you can hire your kit and have a walk and talk with the other players, most will be more than pleased to discuss what to get. Bunker 51 is a bit full on and busy. I dont know your age etc, but some younger players end up with full metal guns that are far too heavy for day long use. I would suggest starting with something in the £130 ish price range. MP5 or M4 are in common use so fixing and upgrades etc are plenty. Where are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jourdan_S Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 Yes, i will attend an Airsoft site (rent a gun etc) But if i am still positive on buying an AEG, here are a few of my thoughts (Would be nice for another suggestion or a recommendation on the several guns....) http://www.airsoftworld.net/gc-16-gandg-full-metal-combat-machine-raider-l.html http://www.airsoftworld.net/gandg-rk-series-rk104-evo.html http://www.jdairsoft.net/product/ed8dcafc-d56a-4cc1-97e0-bfeb06399d33.aspx http://www.airsoftworld.net/king-arms-s-w-m-p15-moe-airsoft-rifle.html http://www.fire-support.co.uk/product/ics-galil-gr-metal-airsoft-gun-aeg http://www.justbbguns.co.uk/product/529/AIRSOFT-GUNS-PRO/405/AEG-GUNS-PRO/914/A&K-MASADA-TAN http://www.jdairsoft.net/product.aspx?guid=25d5e2c3-9b6d-4e58-bc02-0bacf07b6e56 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zetec Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Some of those are quite big and heavy, depending on your size and strength you might not want to get too hung up on full metal models for your first gun. In reality light is probably best in airsoft as a "sport", our CA Sportline MP5 is great when running around and trying to scramble up a slippery slope, small compact and light. Mags might not be the biggest but easy to carry 4 spares giving plenty for most games. Also two tone MP5 would be easy to return to normal (not that I would suggest anyone should do this unless a UKARA member). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak Da Mack Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Are you over 18? If so, you can hire a gun at your site 3 times in no less than 3 months and you can get your UKARA number.If you want to look for local sites, try: http://www.airsoftmap.net/Skirmish/Btw, is £300 just for your whole kit, or just your gun? If it's your entire kit, you'll need to think about boots, eye protection, clothing, spare mags, batteries and possibly a chest rig or something to carry around your stuff during a game.

CES_williamson Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 i can help with this mate but if you can give us a location we can give you maybe a walk in store or an airsoft site where you can go for a game i really do recommend going to a game before buying guns and gear as when you get out on the battle field you will see guns and load outs you like and some you dont and at an airsoft game the majority of people will love to anwser questions about there gun, gear and general questions so i do recommend going to a game before buying your stuff so you know what you like look here for all the airsoft sites in the uk http://www.airsoftmap.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longshot Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 This whole question of 'which gun am bestest?' must be the most asked, most pointless, and laziest question on every airsoft forum. The correct answer is this: go and actually play a game of airsoft, rent a gun, see what you think of the game and the gun and ask some other people if you can take a look at their guns and see what you think of them. Then you will actually have a modicum of experience on which to base your decision and will be able to ask a reasonable question of other players. Why the hell would you spend hundreds of pounds on something which you don't even know if you'll like? And are you really going to buy a certain type from a certain place just because someone on here likes it? That's ridiculous. Would you go on a driving forum and say: 'hey guys, I've never driven before but I've always liked cars. I have £20,000, which car should I buy and where should I buy it from? Oh, and I've also not even remotely bothered to look into others costs such as MOT, petrol, insurance, etc. Also, is there any way that I can drive a car without a license?' And while I'm at it: UKARA isn't a license, but there are laws regarding the sale of airsoft guns - please stop asking if there are ways to circumvent them.

Jourdan_S Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 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!

Jourdan_S Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike636 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 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!

Mike636 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Not really, it's more the diameter of the barrel and how good your hop up and air seal are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
