sean85730 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Okay guys and gals. I've started looking at various AEGs as a starter rifle in airsoft. One brand keeps coming up markedly cheaper than others, Bulldog. (M4/AK47) how do these perform overall? I'm looking for something other than M4 ideally. So any suggestions.for a good all rounder? I'm not worried if I have to save a ways to get it Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Sitting Duck Posted July 16, 2016 Supporters Share Posted July 16, 2016 nah - best not....... this was a blinding little deal but all gone http://www.actionhobbies.co.uk/Two-Tone-Umarex-Tokyo-Soldier-AK47-Beta-Spetsnaz_A1DF46.aspx#.V4p8DtQrKt8 but no no no on bulldog - or krinkov ak or well d68 g36 thingy bollox trust me you need to up your budget a bit to about £120-ish or you will very very likely end up with a tarted up plastic gearbox kiddy toy airsoft gun fine if just plinking in back garden - but won't last, lack the oomph, get your ar$e handed to you as you out ranged on a skirmish site how come - coz me & many others have been there and done that on the cheap finding out the hard way 95% of the cheaper stuff on BB sites is not great - often $hite yes some stuff isn't that bad - but you need to know what to buy & most stuff on BB sites is fairly crap for skirmishing you wanna look at G&G for M4's - maybe ICS Cyma for AK's - probably the 028 range if looking at full length 47's JG for G36c's a few others exist and worth a look but that is what we advise to others to learn from our mistakes don't give fatty any more money ffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Monty Posted July 16, 2016 Supporters Share Posted July 16, 2016 'Bulldog' are terrible, avoid. Everyone recommends G&G Combat Machines for a reason. JG G36 is also something to consider, it's reliable and cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters ImTriggerHappy Posted July 16, 2016 Supporters Share Posted July 16, 2016 Up your budget and stay away from any site with bb guns in the name. There are plenty of guides for new players on here, read and do some research. If you want cheap check out G&G, Cyma or JG. Also look at second hand sales for a bargain, I might be selling a Sig 552 soon if you can stretch your budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bencupra Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Get a g&g or Krytac if you can pay the extra money avoid the cheap makes like the plague. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean85730 Posted July 16, 2016 Author Share Posted July 16, 2016 Thought that would be the response to bulldog. As I mentioned. I don't mind saving up to stretch the budget (buy cheap buy twice as they say) Having done some looking, does anyone make a decent G3? Or m14? Also what are the best options around the SA80 type rifles? (sorry for the questions the search function and my phone don't like each other much!)

Tamberlin Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 SA80 wise, definitely not getting a cheap one of those any time soon. As in, I've never seen an actual SA80 airsoft gun (an AEG or GBBR) for less than £280. Not to be rude, but beggars can't be choosers. It's much better that you focus on performance and internals and durability than looks. I think you might be able to find an M14 for around £200, maybe a tad more. Again, they're quite a bit above your budget. There are some okay G36 AEGs on the market at the moment for near enough to your price range. Check out Patrol Base and Airsoft World and have a browse.

Supporters Sitting Duck Posted July 17, 2016 Supporters Share Posted July 17, 2016 Most people tend to go for M4's - yes way too common I know..... But easy to pick up & use, mags easy to get hold of variety of make/model/variations etc.... - G&G do lots of variations AK47 or 74's for the non-M4 lovers, and they are nice and a force to be reckoned with me personally the main thing is the fire selector is not quite as easy or ergonomic as M4's and for mental customisers who like to fit the kitchen sink etc... - not so rail-ful as M4's G36 - the popular G36c has the folding stock for cqb work, ambi fire select for lefties very popular hire guns so they are light polymer guns but hold up well to abuse They are the "normal" or popular starter choices people go for MP5's and the bigger brother G3 with bigger mags type are ok But the SA80 or L85's - hmmm there is a cheaper Army Armament R85 china clone of G&G's one but I'm going get lynched a bit but these are the sort of guns that people think they want but often sell on going back to other more run of the mill guns AUG M14's & others are ok but "maybe" first gun might be best suited to the common popular 3 models listed Please read up on the guides section - 2 are in my sig coz we have been down this road loads n loads n loads To any other owners of guns listed or not listed - this is just my own personal opinion for people considering buying their first starter gun Yes it is nice to have something a bit different or unique, just saying maybe stick with a popular model first time If considering something a little different then please research various reviews & what/how easy stuff like mags & spares are to get hold of Alas - once you get hooked you will have to most likely end up buying another & another & another until you either have no money left or run out hiding places from the wife Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Samurai Posted July 17, 2016 Supporters Share Posted July 17, 2016 JG G3 and Cyma M14 are very good guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean85730 Posted July 17, 2016 Author Share Posted July 17, 2016 Cheers for the input lads I've done some browsing and decided the G&G AK47 looks about right. Thank you all for the help! Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
