Supporters Samurai Posted September 19, 2016 Supporters Share Posted September 19, 2016 Hi, My son is 7 and very interested in my guns. I sometimes let him shoot a bit but those are too big and heavy guns for him. I want to get him a light, low powered plastic AEG, or LPEG. Even the gearbox can be plastic, as long as it's mostly TM compatible. It needs to be small, but I would prefer a 1:1 replica, not those gnome guns from TM with the weird proportions. There was a full plastic Boyi PDW version I can't find now. I once shot that, it's pretty good. This is the one, just with metal gearbox: http://gunfire.pl/product-eng-1152199141-PDW-BY-808-replica.html I'm looking for something like that. Can be transparent or two-tone. What gun do you recommend and where from? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jam_Man Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 My 9 year old shoots at the range and can use G&G combat machine guns ok, being plastic pretty light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Sitting Duck Posted September 19, 2016 Supporters Share Posted September 19, 2016 S/Hand G&G FireHawk but I'm not selling mine or a Short Raider - Good tough smaller polymer M4's The PDW would be fine, think they got medium motor in there but good stuff all the same Could go for a Scorpion I guess or a Galaxy MP5k but hmm maybe I'd stick to a run of the mill gun myself I'd avoid the cheaper end stuff as you would know already..... You might even consider getting a cheap cyma one and get that downgraded free: http://www.taiwangun.com/en/electric/cm-513-cm?from=listing&campaign-id=19 They are REALLY light - the 515 is insanely light but a bit long still for that price you could hack the thing up a bit if you wanted to you could buy a fixer upper: http://www.actionhobbies.co.uk/UMAREX-AK-Spetsnaz-2-Tone-Faulty_A20Q57.aspx#.V9_Dr9QrKt8 but tbh time you pay postage you may as well get a cheapy cyma from TWG - think they are doing free ship on €69 until end of Sept (but don't quote me) That might be the best option unless a G&G comes up cheap You could get a busted 901c Krinkov and fit metal gears but as hop/barrel is unique Then I'd avoid getting anything like that - unless you want to do it for a $hits n giggles project D-Boys PDW is ok but battery box is a bit fiddly - but sound if it has the metal v2 box in there even if a med motor (or use long motor and conventional m4 pistol grip) could get a cheapy £25 gas no blowback pistol an AEP one will weigh a bit more Think PDW, G&G or cheapy Cyma M4 - could get a cheapy cyma m4 and hack it up a bit to turn it into a short FH M4 thingy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Samurai Posted September 19, 2016 Author Supporters Share Posted September 19, 2016 Cheers. I have a TM MP5 PDW but I think that's too heavy for him with the stock on (that has weights in it). The plastic cyma M4 might work if I switch to a shorter stock and remove the suppressor. I want something with a stock for him, not just a pistol, because I want to teach him target shooting, and not just fooling around in the house with a pistol. Good ideas SD, it got me thinking.

AshOnSnow Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Young girl at airsoft last week - maybe around 10 - had a P90. I think for something that isn't too heavy, but you can retain quality, going down the compact PDW route might be a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Monty Posted September 19, 2016 Supporters Share Posted September 19, 2016 I was going to suggest a P90 but the grip is a bit fat, I owned a Marui AEP Mp7 once and ergonomically it was perfect for 'smaller' people. Good accuracy and range from it, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffreym Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 M14 EBR or a M240, drop them in the deep end, but on a serious note, I got myself a cheapo JG MP5 http://www.taiwangun.com/en/electric-3/jg069-m5-j-jg?from=listing&campaign-id=14 and it weighs nothing, lipo in the front and a plastic MAG mag and it's useable one handed even for my 5ft nothing mother who weighs like 60kg.

AshOnSnow Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 In terms of the weight distribution, wouldn't a design like either the P90 or an SMG like the QCW-05 JS (which is essentially a chinese-made bullpup MP5) be best? Or an MP5K? It would be nice years down the road for your son to pick up that gun and think "oh wow, I remember this", instead of a broken, half bit of gearbox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshOnSnow Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 What manufacturer makes an airsoft QCW-05 JS?? It's a Call of Duty Black Ops 2 multiplayer favourite, there's bound to be one out there somewhere. If there isn't, well then Baldrick, I have a cunning plan....... $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ But also, how about something along the lines of these: http://www.popularairsoft.com/news/sru-scar-bullpup-g1718-carbine-kits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
