ScouseReaper Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 Hi all, Names Jon aka ScouseReaper, bit ott i know but i'm a pc gamer, we like our crazy names. I'm looking for fellow Scousers to kick arse and take names with, I'm just about to get my first airsoft rifle delivered in the next day or two so I'll looking for people to go to sessions with. I went straight for a G&G cm16 intermediate, rather than really cheap, hopefully it was a decent choice. Anyways I'm waffling on, i'll see you around the forums. ?
Supporters Gepard Posted September 3, 2018 Supporters Posted September 3, 2018 Welcome! The CM16 is always my go-to recommendation for first time buyers - You made a good purchase!

Yup. I'm impressed with Workmate Eddy's CM16 Raider L. I'd say you'd need to find reasons not to get a Combat Machine variant as a first gun.
ScouseReaper Posted September 4, 2018 Author Posted September 4, 2018 I did some research and decided on this one https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/g-and-g-armament-cm16-intermediate-predator-series-combat-machine?fv=6747 not high end but not cheap either, good enough to get me started I thought, I just need a decent side arm now. ?

Would recommend to any new player as it's under a ton and is very good for entry level. It helped me get better at ranging target distance even though the range does fall short slightly compared to gigher end RIFs. Oh look what the cat dragged in! ??

Eh, it'll probably be fine, and I do like the idea of bursts.
MisterG Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 Hi Welcome to the forum, it's a good starter gun as others have said. You might want to hold off on the pistol, unless you really want one/like using one. Doesn't get used much unless you run a DMR/sniper or twisty corners in CQB where the rifle is hard to use. Cheers G

Cheers G A lot of the sites by me are CQB, it might be useful given the sites available. ?
Supporters Rogerborg Posted September 4, 2018 Supporters Posted September 4, 2018 Fair enough, pistols are effective in CQB and GBBs are viscerally satisfying to shoot. On bang for buck (or pew for pound) a cheap ~£35 spring tri-shot shotgun can offer surprising amounts of CQB fun as well. Having one handy could save the day if your main gun(s) start acting up.
Haru Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 I'm going for the CM16 2.0 not the one with the built in MOSFET as I've heard they can backfire, shame cos I really like the PDW stocks

I bought one of these as my first gun and didn't get anyone with it but the other day I pulled it out again and it was loads of fun and had no issues with people taking hits when you put 3 into their face.

Supporters Rogerborg Posted September 4, 2018 Supporters Posted September 4, 2018 Mmm, it's doubtless a tale that's grown in the telling, and PatrolBase are very clear that it's intended for 11.1V lipos only. I'm a touch jealous to be honest.
