dudemattbored Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 might want to try the new utg mp5 it comes with the a4 and a5 stock and two hi caps its about 100 usd cheaper than a marui and ive heard from multiple people that the quality is very similar if the the same as a marui a friend told me that it was tested and after 2000-3000 rounds the utg mp5 still shoot very well if your not to serious about getting into airsoft this might be a realy good pick for you Link to post Share on other sites
crackler Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 i'm a noob and just about to get a g36c...looks amazing and is good Link to post Share on other sites
Bravo117TR Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 definately the UTG MP5. mostly because i have one and it rocks, but mainly because its pretty much a marui clone, and it can be upgraded the same as a marui mp5. it is also VERY cheap, and since price is what most newbs worry about, it appeals to them price wise as well as performance wise.

Pilko Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 Gotta be an AK, Spetz or normal, it's all good. You can drop them, bash them into trees and they have a reasonable range. Link to post Share on other sites

12bore Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 i would always choose the tokyo marui mp5 a4 as a good choice for a newbie because it has the accuracy the mag capacity it looks really good and its damm nice to use. this is a very freindly user weapon Link to post Share on other sites
shortstraw4 Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 I'm very new to AEGs so I want to know what kind of matenance I would need to do on a regular basis if I got a UTG mp5 or something similar. Link to post Share on other sites
Robot 2000 Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 maintenance on AEG's is pretty minimal if you don't get a lemon, all you really need to do is spray some silicon lube up the bb feed tube (where the mag goes in) every now and then Link to post Share on other sites
Para Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 AK47, solid, reliable, accurate, large batteries, high ROF, can be modded to an extent, good mag cap and quite popular with noobs. AK am b35t35t n00b13 gnu!!!111!1. Link to post Share on other sites
chromenewt Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 Right, I've read shedloads on this site and I'm (nearly) sorted in what I'd like to get but I'd like some feedback (if ok with peeps) on my choices and why. - I'm a sniper at heart and my priority is accuracy. - Something that can take a scope/lasersight/both - Something rock solid reliable but isn't an AK-47 (I really dislike the look and the mag will get in the way if I'm prone) - Ideally something where I can easily adapt to a new situation (if I'm covering as a sniper and then I need to go into CQB and potentially need some ROF) - Solid metal construction, I like my baby to remind me that I'm holding her rather than being a featherlite plastic thing. I'm thinking of going for the TM FAMAS as it deal with most of the above reasons I've heard thus far. I'm a bit worried about the mag ejection though, how bad have people found this? Now I am prepared to go another route but that will require advice that I'm not sure of. CONFIG; * Sniper Rifle (spring) with scope * Pistol sized AEG with a high capacity and can fit in a leg holster I know this isn't the place to ask about the rifle but what would folks recommend in the above configuration? Is my first choice (FAMAS) the best? Am I limiting my choices and making my life too difficult by going the second route? Many thanks in advance, and the reviews thus far in this thread have been a huge help in my shortlist. (In the ideal world I love the look of the G36C but I think the FAMAS pipped it at the post due to practicality over looks) Link to post Share on other sites
Hairy Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 Hokay. Sniper is a very special mindset. So is "sharpshooter" (which is what most wannabe snipers actually are) FAMAS am best. Apparently. The AUG is a good all-round choice as well, if heavy. It benefits from a tie-wrap to hold the all-metal upper receiver to the plastic stock. The FAMAS hsa been know to creak on.. well, whenever not buried in concrete. Pistols aren't generally needed for Woodland (although that can vary. Generally trumped by a grenade, to be truthful) An AEG (FA-MAS or not) is a good choice, as you can get to be mad-nutter-b*tard as well as sneaky-beaky-sniper. With the same rifle. In the same game/day. If you're thinking about a sniper role, then emulate (either with your own "weapon" or someone else's) without actually buying a specialised rifle. I'm old. I'm cheap. I tend to only buy things that I'll use; some younger Airsoft players buy and then regret (mind you, that can be a good source of G-Specs! ) Link to post Share on other sites
fwynn Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 get what ever u can afford start with mp5's first.. as a "beginner" gun.. then go up.. Link to post Share on other sites
ACManiac Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 well i just got my airsoft about a month ago. it is a mp5 tokyo marui solid stock A4.i also bougt the CA flashlight grip. its awsome i love it. Link to post Share on other sites
paranoidandroid Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 I havent seen much mention of TM M733. Its my first AEG and I have had no problems with it. Its small enough for cqb but has a long enough barrel for good accuracy in woodland play. Also takes a lot of the same accessories as the m4 (though some of the barrel mounted ones wont fit due to it being slightly shorter) so it is relatively easy to customise. If you are board of armalites and want something different i would firmly reccomend AK47 in any of its varieties. my 2 cents worth Link to post Share on other sites

Not only will it take a lazer & a scope but will also take a bipod & a torch. Not forgetting no barrel wobble. Link to post Share on other sites
Nessie Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 I'd have to say that the Tokyo Marui AK-47 Beta Spetsnaz is the best newb gun. I've been playing airsoft for 3 years with this gun and it rocks! Going to upgrade it soon and enlarge the foregrips as they are a bit too short.Its built like a rock and has a very good ROF. I've used and abused this thing so much and it still runs like new. It is also a good newb gun because it has a 250 round highcap right off, and then later you can switch to 150, 70, or 30 round mags. This gun also has a large battery that lasts a long time. Since a lot of beggining airsofters are usually young and smallish, since this gun is relatively short it is very nice and compact. Link to post Share on other sites
hangedcrossarmy Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 UTG mp5. 2 of my friends have them. i'd say they are awesome for the first aeg since they are cheap and are quality tm copies. oh shortyusa had them on sale for $110 (came with a battery, a charger, and 10 clips (yes 10 clips).) CA36C. i don't own one cuz i'm broke . they are supposed to be really durable. CA36C can take an a$$ whooping and you can pick it up and it'll still work like new. its also easy to upgrade with lasers and such. another thing is that its already upgraded, so tampering is needed. its werd. Famas F1 or SV. since too many of my friends have MP5 and i'm too poor for an CA36C, i'm going for the TM Famas F1. the bullpup system gives you a longer interior barrel for accuracy. since the barrel is "hidden" it makes the gun smaller. its rof is fricken wicked, so it being stock isn't going to be a problem. i'm getting me a Famas Link to post Share on other sites

The 33 far outstrips the FA-MAS in power and range out of the box (330fps as opposed to the 265fps managed by my FA-MAS) and feels a lot better due to its very high metal content, unfortunately of course the CA33E is £90 dearer.

Omarski83 Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 FAMAS -Cheap -Extreme rate of fire (just get more than one hi cap if you run out to often) -Great out of the box accuracy. (Ask anybody I play with, the second they hear my FAMAS discharge a bb, 99% of the time, you will also hear a "Hit!" ) -Great hi cap mag capacity. (one hi cap generally lasts me about 12 games, no joke) -Both right and left handed gun -I own three and have never had a single problem.

Handsome Pete Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 I bought a FAMAS as my first AEG, great rate of fire, simple and indestructable....at the same time nearly all plastic lacks a little power for me and looks pretty fake...however since bought a CA M15a2 tac carb.....i'll never want another rifle-perfect Link to post Share on other sites
dcentity2000 Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 A TM M733 or M16 variant would probably get my vote - you can learn to upgrade it, it doesn't cost the world, you have better things to aim for (CA or ICS etc) and there are a multitude of different extras you can get for them.
