I heard it in my most utterly pedantic professor's voice:

They might be realistic, but are they uber-realistic? Would I be making an assumption if I was to state that they might not be realistic enough for our new friend?

Raspberry Jam?

 

I had to google that.

 

Funnily enough I found all of my uber realistic AR's using google too.

Such an underrated movie, even Sean Bean as a buffoon is a great character.

As @M1LAN has been back but hasn't responded to the thread I'm going to assume he's embarrassed that their internet hard man act didn't work

Bloody Nora! Not another assumption!

I'd rather this didn't progress any further down this slippery slope, there are enough trolls on the internet without us making it worse.

 

M1LAN I apologise for my comment.

 

For what it's worth, the range of AR style of GBBR's, AEG's & accessories are endless, my own preference is for realistic military clones (as the pic shows), almost every pic I've seen with military rifles have some kind of addition/accessory whether it's unit specific or an individuals preference. If you want your AR to have a realistic feel & kick then GBBR fills that niche, however if you're a regular player or intend to be one then I'd suggest an AEG with NGRS, gas is fiddly & a pain in the arse (certainly more work than I'm willing to do on a regular basis) especially in our cold UK weather. There are many versions or AR's to consider and pretty much every one can be accessorised & updated as your want or need progresses, out of the AR's I have, only 1 is stock, many of them were bought from the classifieds & some might have been upgraded internally before I bought them but I don't play much so I prefer a look to performance so I just add the accessories I want & try to make them all different.

 

If you want a milsim type of gameplay then it depends how far down the rabbit hole you want to go, full milsim with a GBBR will require many expensive mags as they hold limited ammo, an AEG with the same milsim feel will be a fraction of the cost, using midcap mags will give you a realistic reload feel as you'll need more mags (which are much cheaper).

 

If you're determined to go down the GBBR route, I love my WE XM177 but I've been lucky enough to find second hand mags to allow me to spray & pray or pick my shots but I've yet to have a full game without some kind of issue either small or catastophic & the mags weigh a tonne.

Indeed. My 2p. I just wanted something that works well out the box so went with an mws. I didn't mind if it wasn't 100%oldschool AR.

Completely unnecessary Gav, you did nothing wrong, in fact you prefaced your initial comment by admitting that you may have got it wrong in assuming, but were going to do it anyway due to a lack of info & context, & then continued to give good advice.

BUT

Big of you to attempt to defuse the situation AND give further good advice.

👍

I really do hope this individual isn’t getting a rif for playing on any airsoft field at all, with a touchy, angry attitude like that I don’t predict a particularly enjoyable experience for him/her.
