springer

[Richie Boyle]

i dont physically have it yet since today was only my second game but i have pre-bought a 1911 springer which is seemingly an old skool pistol. single shot and pull the slider back between shots

 

any advice on this RIF?

[remus]

in all likelyhood right next to useless and a waste of money. now whilst i have gotten kills with a few springers when youve used anything else youl see they are a waste cept for humiliation kills. only springers with thinking of are shotguns(preferably trishots) and decent sniperrifles(which need upgraded) in other words get your money back if you can...

Pre-bought .. for how much ???

 

Springers are not considered for skirmishes due to their lack of range and single shot .. as its a pistol/side arm.

 

They are however good for plinking tin cans in the back yard or scaring your brother into giving you his pocket money ..

£30 but i cant have it until a fortnight today when i get my UKARA defence. i didnt buy it as a serious weapon since i will be looking for an AEG rifle as a main weapon. i bought it as a back up/novelty but there may be upgrades available. i havent looked at spring before so i know literally nothing about them

Unless it's a shotgun or sniper, springers are generally not worth the hassle in a skirmish. Poor rate of fire and lower fps being the main cons against them.

 

That said they can be a great "novelty" gun (in a loose sense) at spring or gas only games

Youd be bonkers to drop £30 on a springer pistol!!! could get a half decent shotty for that price. Cancel the deal

£30!? Save up for a tri shot shotgun by DE. I believe it's called the M56. They're about £40-£50. £32 if you buy one from Poland but it's a RIF.

[Airsoft_Mr B]

You won't be able to get any upgrades for a springer pistol either by the way.

exactly i picked up a new shotty the other day for £45 and it shoots better than the tm one i have which is like £150 new...cancel the trade if you can. my first springer pistols were like £10 and i wouldnt touch em now given the chance
