If you had £550, what gun would you buy?

[ikarma70]

Hi guys, basically as per title, I could have about £550 to spend on a new airsoft gun for cqb and open site, I really like the real sword type 56 range(yes I am an ak fan) but what else is out there as I have little experience in what's good and bad out there?

[Monty]

Any Marui Recoil

[team flex]

well if i had the money - polarstar... however for a very good gun marui recoil as monty said

[TacMaster]

Definitely an RS SVD. Definitely. Add in the fixings for a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. style loadout and I'd be laughing

[Mr Monkey Nuts]

A GHK G5 and 3 more mags. Then a Tactical Tailor Mini Mav and with the change left over to buy the best quality T1 microdot sight I could afford.

 

Or if they were available anywhere a GHK M4 would be on the list, but then I wouldn't have much change for mags.

[Guest PT247]

RM4 ERG, a couple of 11.1v LiPos, some gucci mags and a decent T1 sight

[M_P]

Any TM recoil, probably the 416 or if you don't mind hpa then an SMP would be a decent option. TM for me though.

[Airsoft_Mr B]

Probably a RM4 ERG as well like PT. Or a TM MP7A1 and mags + pouches / Blue Force Gear MP7 rig.

 

You can get GHK M4s over here. I'm not sure where I saw em but idk AirsoftZone...maybe?

[geoffreym]

Probably this

Won't have much spare change though

[joshcowin]

Erm probably a celcius ptw they for around that failing that a fully ra teched scar l

[M_P]

You're brave

[Unrustle_Thine_Jimmies]

A daytona gun kit jammed into a Dboys or used VFC AK Body,a bit oddly specific I know,but Dboys steel bodies are fairly cheap and easy to get and the Daytona Gun AK kit is the most common one

 

Anything other? Probably a TM recoil or something because they put a big childish grin on your face when shooting them. Next would probably be splurging out on some Retro Arms gearbox parts and whatever's popular for DSG shit with the yanks and building a Dual sector gear unnecessary ROF monster just to piss people off,I'd say if I skimped out on the external quality I'd say I'd be able to build a DSG for 550.

 

Some lovely GHK GBBs will certainly be on the list,probably the G5 since M4s aren't my thing(Thought it is lovely) and I often adore the little super maneuverable plastic guns

[DX115FALCON]

I would probably buy a UMP for each hand.

Sorry I thought I said I wanted aegs especially with cold weather coming and the limited firepower really puts me off but I didn't so my apologies.

 

My local site is cqb and that will be my main site, MAW is 20 miles away.

 

I really like the RS type 56 but there isn't a tactical model afaik so that's a no go, the bolt ris m4 is very viable as it has a recoiling action and is 11.1v ready I believe.

The RS type 97 is just plain ugly and has no tactical rails so that's a no go..

 

I will say one thing for airsoft, there's loads of choice!!!

[M_P]

Bolt guns are crap, if you want recoil get a tm, no need for 11.1s, 7.4s are fine.

Why not go for the RS 56 and buy some real steel rail kits for it? Should still come within your £500 limit, and very few people have issues with RS.

[Caliber]

JG G3A3, upgrade internals and get the stock/handguard hydro-dipped. Use leftover money to book skirmishes.

Mmmm I wasn't aware you could but as the rs56 is essentially a real gun outer body wise I guess it makes sense, now that is food for thought ... Thankyou buddy!!!!!!

[airsoftwarrior147]

Marui Socom recoil shock and then transfer my troy rail onto it, then get a battle axe stock and a nice optic

[Happy]

Marui 870 Breacher with a spare gas mag, breacher shotgun scabbard and as many TM shells I could get for the rest of it.

 

OR...

 

Marui Recoil AKS74U with two extra hi cap mags and an AK sling.

[Ian_Gere]

LCT AKS-74 body kit

PDI 6.05mm inner barrel

Maple Leaf 60 deg* / Prometheus Purple hop rubber

RATech hop cushion

PDI Palsonite cylinder

Magic Box double O-ring piston head

SHS/Super Shooter pretty much everything else

CT-2 Teflon grease

BTC Chimera V3 MOSFET**

 

 

 

 

*Going on recommendations - I've just ordered one so i'll soon be able to compare them to Prometheus Purple which are the best i've tried so far, better than PDI W-hold.

**If you can find one, if not maybe the V3 ASCU although I haven't read the specs yet and what i'd be after is pre-cocking, so if not that, a Burst Wizard BW3.

MAG mags

[M_P]

So basically you'd just buy everything

[Snakeeyes75]

I'm in the exact same situation budget wise, I've arrived at the TM Scar-L CQC Version. Only issue is the expensive and HTF mags, saying that I found them fairly quickly

[chris555]

bolt if it kicks harder then marui i want a recoil gun damit

[two_zero]

a RealSword SVD.. oh wait, I already got one!!
