Mad Rag Posted January 14, 2019 Author Share Posted January 14, 2019 had such a good day yesterday, there was some really intense games a lot of heated discussions and around some sore hits lol. think i have decide on-my first gun, an m4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Rogerborg Posted January 14, 2019 Supporters Share Posted January 14, 2019 Intense games good, heated discussions not so good. It is just a game. Got a brand of M4 in mind, or a budget? G&G Combat Machines are the default value-for-money proposition, but if you're really tight for budget and squeezing every penny, the basic CMYAs do actually work.

Supporters Rogerborg Posted January 14, 2019 Supporters Share Posted January 14, 2019 That'll be a G&G Firehawk, great fun little guns, although I'd avoid the "DSG" (dual sector gear) version as it has no semi auto mode. When buying a G&G you'll have to budget for some Lipo batteries and a charger. Even the cheapest CYMA comes with a battery and a dumb charger, so you can pick up and play. Mid to long term, the G&G is a better gun. But if it's a case of buying a CYMA, or not playing, they do work. I'll be using mine in CQB this Sunday. 57 minutes ago, Mad Rag said: i had one guy that dived bomb for the 'bomb' and i hit him, shouted that i hit him, no reply,he was lay on his front with the box in front of him so i stood up and he got peppered with full auto lol. Hmm. First, it's hard to be sure that you've actually hit someone. BBs can slip by, drop off at the last second, hop over, or get deflected by the skimpiest of cover. Heck, guns can misfeed and just shoot air for a few trigger pulls. Second, it can be hard to tell that you've been hit, especially if you're moving, or wearing a vest, or it pings off of an item of gear that's already bouncing around. It's very aggravating, but it happens: please don't take it personally or assume that the target is cheating. If someone doesn't take a hit - which may be genuinely because they didn't feel it - then a couple more semis or a quick burst of auto is called for. It's more effective than shouting at them. Rinsing someone down, or cheat calling, is a bad habit to get into. You wouldn't want either one to happen to you when it's your turn to not realise that you've been hit - and that will happen, no matter how good your intentions. When everything's calmed down, best thing is to let a marshal know, and suggest a test shot on that player - hopefully not "The guy in the camo".

Arwen Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Oh I do love a firehawk! Definitely get one if you like the style. Although it is short, all the ones I have seen shoot at range no problem. You may need earplugs after a while though Looked like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Rag Posted January 14, 2019 Author Share Posted January 14, 2019 @Rogerborg Thanks for the advice. It was all good and we had a laugh about it. was quite a funny moment haha/ @Arwen Thats exactly it i want it so bad. Want one so bad after having it yesterday.

Supporters Rogerborg Posted January 15, 2019 Supporters Share Posted January 15, 2019 Heh, glad to hear it. It's great when everyone is having a laugh. The Firehawk is a good shout if your budget stretches to it. I'm a big fan of stubby guns, and have been surprised by how accurate my MP5K is even outdoors with a similar inner barrel length to the Firehawk.

Mad Rag Posted January 15, 2019 Author Share Posted January 15, 2019 @Rogerborg I just loved the feel, the weigh and pure love the sound it made like it was orgasmic lol. I had my crappy 20 quid action cam on my chest right but footage was rubbish. need to get a Hemet adapter for the side rail but struggling to get one. getting my self a gun sling too, even though I don't have a weapon it will be easier for me when im hiring.

Supporters Druid799 Posted January 15, 2019 Supporters Share Posted January 15, 2019 I’d say take your time and try a few other guns first you’ll more than likely fall in and out of love with it and fall in love with another gun multiple times (most airsofters are just gun whores) before you find ‘the one !’ 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Rogerborg Posted January 16, 2019 Supporters Share Posted January 16, 2019 He's right though. Airsoft guns are like motorcycles. The last one you used is the mostest favouritest and bestest one EVER. That's why I have three of each... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
