Yeeto Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Hi, I'm new to airsoft and I've been looking for a good, beginner airsoft gun, I have found this: https://bbguns4less.co.uk/products/cyma-cm518-m4-sia-custom-muzzle-break-in-black.html however I'm not sure how good it is, wondering what people think about it, and if you have any other recommendations, I'd be glad to hear them!

E21A Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Have you played yet? Have UKARA registration etc? G&G CM16, it’s THE starter gun. A few different types to choose from. Also, don’t buy from places with BB in the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshOnSnow Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Don't buy from places called "BB" anything. How many games have you played with rental guns? UKARA eligible yet? Or even more importantly, are you over 18? For a starter gun I'd suggest a G&G brand. My first gun was a G&G R8L, that was good. I'd also recommend the CM16 Raider L - it's a very standard M4A1 based gun with a quad-rail picatinny handguard so you can add a torch, vertical grip or whatever depending on how you like it. at £120-140, it's the gun to start with. As for store recommendations, I heartily recommend Crawley Surplus or FireSupport, also many people have had good experiences with Patrol Base and Land Warrior.

Supporters Rogerborg Posted August 6, 2018 Supporters Share Posted August 6, 2018 I guess +2 to the above. There's a reason that the G&G CM16 Raider is regularly recommended, they are very nice for the price. However, my CYMA M4 was surprisingly usable until I over-optimised it. If you've got a CYMA sized budget, then you can start airsofting with one. NOT THAT ONE THOUGH! First, any "BB" site is a no-no. Second, that comes with CYMA's stock "M120 spring", which will put it way over the power limit for auto guns at most UK sites, and legally speaking makes it a firearm rather than an airsoft gun. They should not be selling that in the UK, which is a great example of why to avoid the "BB" sites. If you want a CYMA, then I'd start looking here: https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/airsoft-m4-ar15-m16-variants Filter by in-stock and (I suspect) "No defence" to get the two-tones.

Cheap, reliable and you can customise the balls out it it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emilianoksa Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 I have had good service from Fire Support. I have also bought from Surplus Stores. Good backup. Their prices aren't exactly the best though. If you decide on a Combat Machine Raider, ROE Airsoft were doing them for a mere 99.99 recently. Everywhere else they are £130-140. Just checked and they are still the same price. That is a great deal. And they are good guns. If I had a spare ton I would get one myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Rogerborg Posted August 10, 2018 Supporters Share Posted August 10, 2018 £100 for that CQB version is genuinely tempting, even though I'm fine for AEGs. Quick, everyone buy them out so that I don't sink another ton that I don't need to spend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emilianoksa Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 You know you can't have too many backup guns. And just think you'll be able to loan it to family members and friends. 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
