Doaruj Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Hello guys,I want to buy my first wepon,I did a bit of research before about manufacturer ,theyr pros and cons,but I am still not decided,I just want a second opinion,I`ve put an eye on VFC VR16 MK12 Sopmod SPR but hopefully you will give me more option. Range price 300 pounds What I want at my wepon is to be AEG,I want to use it outside,medium range,I want to be strong wepon,like more metal then placstic or at least to be resistant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eenthuncob Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 I little over your budget but have a look at Krytac crb, they have great range and well built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sacarathe Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 If it's your first airsoft gun you may be better off prioritising function (read internals) over form and externals. VFC guns have a reputation for being not up to scratch in peer price comparison when it comes to internals. Take that £300 and wait until you have at least another £100 to £150 and buy a gun solidly in the 320-380 range - 2x battery+charger and magazines and red dot/sling will set you back around £70-£100 - and if you buy an expensive gun you wouldn't then skimp on the semi-mandatory accessories? I'm out of the loop myself - so if I'm a bit of a cliche when I say which guns are best, but it's definitely worth having a (first) gun which works! Get a gun with a reputation for good internals and reliability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleaners inc Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Take a look at scorpion evos, amazing guns And similar price range. arent full mental but the real gun isn’t either, still extremely strong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Gepard Posted July 2, 2018 Supporters Share Posted July 2, 2018 Have a look at the M4s by G&P. Still more-or-less in your price range, depending on the product. If you could wait a bit and buy a TM you'd be set. They're in the £400s though. Krytac is a good brand. As mentioned you'll need to consider all the extras - mags, batteries, chargers, etc.. Which can really add up. No point buying something if you can't shoot it! Nothing wrong with buying cheaper guns. The CM16 series by G&G aren't to be scoffed at. Just because a gun is made out of metal doesn't necessarily mean it's any good by the way. A good quality polymer is always better over cheap metal. How much experience do you have with airsofting by the way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should rent at least once before buying anything. You could end up buying hundreds of pounds worth of kit and find out you don't even enjoy it.

Supporters Rogerborg Posted July 2, 2018 Supporters Share Posted July 2, 2018 The thought of financing what is, in the final analysis, a toy gun for playing pretend soldiers with, just fills me with "WTF?" And with a minimum purchase price of £300 from JD Airsoft. If you mean that you've yet to play airsoft at all, I'd strongly advocate that you get out there with some rental or borrowed guns and see what it's all about. You'll find out if you really enjoy it enough to get into debt over it, and you'll have the opportunity to talk to other players about their guns and try them out. For one thing, you may find that prefer something other than an M4 variant when you actually get to pew it in real life. Personally I think the G36 is an ergonomically superior platform.

Supporters Adolf Hamster Posted July 2, 2018 Supporters Share Posted July 2, 2018 Tbh i'd rather take a cyma ak or cm16 over having to get finance for an airsoft gun, its a hobby ffs and you shouldnt be putting yourself into debt for it (only bankrupting yourself after every pay cheque) As others have said you'd be better off going a few times, get the feel of airsoft in general, chat to the regulars (nobody likes showing off their kit like airsofters). Also getting your ukara sorted before buying your first gun means avoiding the scourge of the 2 tone paint job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just rent or borrow until you have a UKARA and save cash until then. You'll be happier for it. Although something tells me you won't take the sound advice from this forum. Inb4any1else I'll buy your vfc off you for a score when you realise its not paintball bruh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't misunderstand us, there are benefits in buying a cheap two tone gun (when starting out), we can't know where you will play but its entirely possible you'll spend £100 on rental over your first 4-5 games. Owning a two-tone £100-£160 gun could work out better for you. Given the way I entered the sport (hire purchase TM Glock 17) I would say that getting your own rifle class gun instead of hiring can work out, I got that RIF through wolf armouries which plays at a very small paintball venue (10 minutes away from me) where I was not disadvantaged by having only a sidearm - but I had to play the UKARA criteria before I could take it home. I think I spent £115 on the gun and £80 on a pair of extra magazines and a double magazine holster and pistol holster for my belt + some gas and BBs. I would have been better off with a G&G M4 - and tbh I knew that but wolf don't stock G&G. So don't misunderstand us, you don't have to hire, but if you're going to start out buying a (two-tone) you want to go with something cheap (cyma/G&G/ICS) or something with a solid reputation in the £300 range - to me that's the ASG scorpion or a Krytac M4. But putting either through two-tone is crazy to me. Given that you've not played airsoft you definitely do not want to be buying a [heavy] VFC gun.
