hawaiianjuggernaut Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 I noticed we have a thread on "Epic Fail Purchases" and I got to thinking: Why not have the opposite? Ill start it off: Best purchases I made: A $7 tactical belt off evike. I didnt expect much out of it, but it works great! Another one, my KWA USP. Got the pistol pretty used about a few months ago, an it runs like a dream. And finally, you cannot forget a P* EPAR PR-15 engine. Best investment ever. What about you guys? --Hawaiian Link to post Share on other sites
Baddbaz Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Best purchase was my real sword type 97 . Was not even looking for a gun and walk into action hobbies and sitting in a dusty box in the corner was the best gun I have yet to own . No failures , issues , problems at all . Been going strong for 3 years now on an 11.1 .and to top it all when I got it home I found it had a tightbore already fitted .and a picatiny rail .... Link to post Share on other sites
BaBaBooey Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Xcortech X3200...I've had since 2008 and only about $80. My opinion, it's a must have for anyone fixing or upgrading. Link to post Share on other sites
frogfish Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 my list is as follows Xcortech x3200 KJW G23 (7 years old and shoots likeits new) TM mk23 Link to post Share on other sites
Vuddha Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Actually going to games and getting some trigger time. You can have the best gear in the world, but if you don't know how to shoot/play, that fancy gun/gear ain't worth *suitcase*! -Vu Link to post Share on other sites
nieb15 Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Classic Army G3, my first true AEG, purchased many years ago for $75. Still my favorite gun. Link to post Share on other sites
Horsem4n Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 well, since i buy and sell my guns 3 times a month, id have to say my pair of urtactical combat pants. probably the only piece of kit i use all the time. got them at the same time crye started their public store and have performed great and hold up in the washing machine. my best investment though is learning how to fix and modify guns. i went to collage and havnt found a job with those skills, but have been earning money on my airsoft skills since 2009.

EatTheGras Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Can't beat the real thing: SPOSN Gorka SPOSN Smersh Closes you can get: Real Sword SVD and of course: CYMA 031C (aks74) - 5 years old, went through ~300.000 bb's and still going strong (11.1V lipo, 135m/s) Link to post Share on other sites
ollie_ty Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 My FAL. After playing and struggling with GBBs for over a year, going back to AEGs reminded me of the real reason I play airsoft, and that I didnt need all that extra blowback jazz. Link to post Share on other sites
hwagan Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 After playing and struggling with GBBs for over a year, going back to AEGs reminded me of the real reason I play airsoft, and that I didnt need all that extra blowback jazz. TREASON. For me, it'd be... Tokyo Marui M3S90 - 7 years old now, never a failure. I rarely use it in games as the FPS has slowly dropped, but I still use it for plinking reasonably often and it must have been racked half a million times by now. Flyye Drop leg SEALs holster - I've had it about 4 years, it doesn't flop about on my leg, the thumb break is still crisp, and it's held up through all sorts of abuse as well as carrying everything from a G23 to an M11. Awesome holster. Lastly, Warrior Riggers belt - I wear it every single day and have done since I bought it, I imagine it'll live longer than I do. Link to post Share on other sites
3vi1-D4n Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 A&K M249 para. So far, given i have owned 90% of the airsoft guns in the world, thats the best spend at $250 USD with no issues after the initial 30 min tuneup it has lasted 15k round with no wear or problems. Otherwise it's a CA HK33KE. Link to post Share on other sites
Im going space Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 JG G36 in terms of 'investment'. 5 years, well in excess of 100K, was £120. all ive done to it was put a G&P M120 motor in it about 3 mins after purchase and convert to deans. oh and i replaced the hop rubber 5 days ago. its firing like a god once again. In terms of Kit, Element surefire M951V, cost me £15. awesome torch Link to post Share on other sites

Habakure Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Actually, my best purchase, isn't a purchase as its free. Arnies airsoft; has been the best resource for my airsoft questions/needs etc. 2nd, is the TM P90. If you've ever owned one, you'll know why. They're made of epic win juice.

rockshark Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 DE M56B. It's cheap and creaky and I've broken one already. But I repeat, it's cheap and I'm using it all the time in CQB. Not the best or the fastest for covering fire or... but I'm having loads of fun. Best €40 spent on airsoft. Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 £5 mask, still after 6yrs hasn't had any issues. £20 webbing, has served me a long time and never been an issue. Buying black fleece tops from Primark. Often they cost very little yet last easily as long as a good pair of combats, they just keep me that bit warmer. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Xcortech chrono. Dynatex grenades (got 5 kills with one blast yesterday). Rubber knife - any time I play with it there is hilarity. I have a feeling that in a couple of games I will be able to come back here and put King Arms Galil MAR on this list. It is the mutt's nuts.

Wild_XIII Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 G&G Scar L - Probably the best airsoft gun I ever owned... and I sold it because I was poor! I regret that now! Warrior PLB belt - Fantastic bit of kit. Holds everything I need and has never failed me, even after 4 years of use! Pro Peak 2500 (I think!) charger - Only ever blown a fuse once. It's kept my batteries going for years now and won't give up. Safariland 6004 holster for Glock 17 with M3 - It fits a Glock (obviously!), a WE XDM and also a TM Hicappa 4.3. It's also a very solid holster with a nice quick draw. British Army pro boots - After 8 years the water proofing has finally gone from the goretex lining, plus the soles on the left boot is coming off. However 8 years with barely any maintenance is pretty damn good! I'm just annoyed I can't find any more in my size. Link to post Share on other sites
biscuitninja Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 ESS V12s - never had a fogging issue, comfy for long games, easy interchange lenses. Plus they've saved my eyes on numerous occasions, without so much as a scratch. Specialised MTB Gloves - They aren't super tactical Oakleys, but they are comfy as hell, dry quickly and protect my hands from all but the closest BB hits, great feel through them too. TM P226R - The massive grin it puts on my face every time I fire it, coupled with its stellar performance outside during a game this weekend while it was snowing = me loving the thing. Got some Nineball routers and a Nineball hop rubber on the way for it as a little treat. Link to post Share on other sites
Apex Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 TM MK23 Socom - Just cos you have to ICS MP5 - Still have it and still going strongX3200 - The best chrono bar the SkanPro Peak 2500 / accucel 6 - The best chargers and only chargers i have ever needed.everything else i have owned / used / sold falls below the above which is somewhat sad.

gijohn2 Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 My FAL. After playing and struggling with GBBs for over a year, going back to AEGs reminded me of the real reason I play airsoft, and that I didnt need all that extra blowback jazz. Amen to that!

TerranCmdr Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Hands down best airsoft purchase I ever made: ESS Turbofan goggles. Haven't had a problem with fogging since I purchased them. Every other set of goggles or glasses I have owned has always fogged. You can't even play with fogged up goggles so these are essential. Second best purchase - Camelbak bladder. That thing is a lifesaver. Link to post Share on other sites
spetsnazdave87 Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Jetboil. The ability to cook food and brew up quickly is a massive morale-booster. If you do a lot of milsims or weekenders or outdoor sites with limited brew facilities, I can't recommend it enough. Link to post Share on other sites
hawaiianjuggernaut Posted February 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Gotta agree with the Turnigy Accucell 6 charger. For only ~ $35 you cannot beat it. Charges everything perfectly. Link to post Share on other sites
