bite the bullet Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 for a newbie's gun is a gun that is cheap, never breaks down(shame BMW havent made an airsoft gun then), and is easy to service. 2 guns i can think of is the AK47 as it almost never breaks down and an SG1 or CA33E (both the same but the CA is made of full metal) hope this is good advice Link to post Share on other sites
Dead58 Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 Best first gun - KWA M11 - cheap 20 rounds per second high powered gas fun! Best first AEG - AK47 - cheap and reliable. Link to post Share on other sites
Lomitza Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 I would go for, something which gives one a general role! E.g. good for CQB and ranged skirmishes. Some fine examples include, AKB, G36c, AK47S, and the MC51. Although I prefer sturdy weapons like the AKB, the M4 is indeed a good performer. I think it is down to user preference, some people go for the SG1 or the MP5! Lomi Link to post Share on other sites
sketchfox00653 Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Yeah! my first weapon was a KWA M11. Gas gets pretty expensive after a while and when gas only last 1000 rnds at most, you tend to have a burning desire to get something electric. So i got a Neon Fire M4A1 Freedom Fighter and got some extra mags. I read in reviews it was a bit better than mini's, but i still wanted something that was easy to refill, recharge and operate and i found it in a bargain airsoft rifle. I recently did some cosmetic work to its barrel. It has the aircool barrel vents on it but they're covered up to hide the battery since its in the foregrip. So i used a strong nail (i broke off one of those things you use on a map to determine yer position) to cut out impressions of the inner circle and i simply pushed them out, sanded them and painted the whole thing with three light coats of krylon pain....i also taped and painted certain parts to give it a clear difference in shade between matte black and drab black. I then took some soda cans, cut them long and in a nice strip, cleaned them and super glued the aluminum side outwards on the inside of the barrel to give it that authentic look. Its very realistic now; so it looks good but performs...well...^-^ i still love it! ,Laterz Link to post Share on other sites

Ghost_Rider Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 Learn to spell, punctuate, and use the search button, and your stay will be much easier. The best way to learn about the sport is to go along to a site, hire a gun, and play. The next best way is to read all the sticky threads, and use the search button (it's the red thing on the top right) to answer any questions you might have about specific guns. If a question hasn't been asked already, then feel free to start a thread in 'newbie discussion'. Enjoy your stay. Link to post Share on other sites
Guji_Romeo Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 oh right thanks, sorry i'm a fast typer i don't even look at the keyboard sometimes, i didn't think you have to punctuate for the forum oh well Link to post Share on other sites
chromenewt Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 and i would like to add, dont be a cheapskate like me trying to mod your first gun straight away to aviod some of the cost. that will only end in more expenses. dont plan any major upgrade for the gun until you bought it and have it for a while, because that way you can truely understand what you really need and not what you think/imagine you need. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's actually some really good advice for me. I just bought the Double Eagle M83 (M16/M4 lookalikey thing) and I love the fun factor but it has no power at all. I know I need more power but I'm not sure how to upgrade and indeed whether I should upgrade this or buy another. It's a lot of fun but when you can safely fire it indoors and the bbs don't stick to a slab of blu-tack when firing at it methinks I need to do something about it. Link to post Share on other sites
anrm85 Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Would an ICS metal M4 or other AEG require more maintenance or expertise than the TM variant? I hear they have a different gearbox with an unusual form of access etc. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
Tunershark Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 Any stock TM is basically a Good Gun, it just depends on what you think looks the best Link to post Share on other sites
rich_usa Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 ICS M4's have the most easy maintenence ever. you just split the receiver and can take about anything out in 5min. absolutely fantastic in my opinion. ask Hissin Sid about them, he converted me Link to post Share on other sites

Mick0 Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 My first gun was TM AK-47 about almost year ago. Man I loved that gun cause when I was playing with it I never didn't worry about that if I fall my gun will broke up like TM Colts. It also owned good firepower with 8,4v and thanks to barrel lenght it really shot long and accuracy was good. It was great gun and I really loved it but sadly his time was over and I'm selling it now. Link to post Share on other sites

neilshaw Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 I am new to airsoft, and most ppl are saying it needs to be comfortable, reliable durable etc. but how do you know if you've never bought or used 1. i myself have played it once with an MP5 and fell in love with the game so have gone and bought one of those guns, but what i am asking is are there place you can go and have a play with a few different guns (fire a few) and see which best suits u????

bigfish312 Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 the p90 is ausom, charged up the bats and took her out for a spin. Rate of fire i would rate as 10 out of 10 as it emped the 68 round clip in under seven seconds, power and accuricy is also good as i tore a hole in the side of golden syrip tin and hit a coke can from the length of my guarden, 35is feet. the high cap is a bit of a bugger as you have to wind it for age and jamed a couple of times. all in all this gun is prity cool Link to post Share on other sites
