Erestheux Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Okay, so this is a list for my friends, containing the best moderately-priced airsoft guns out there. Cheap AEGs (CYMA/Well) and EBBs are not included, as they aren't skirmishable guns. I'd actually like some help with it, maybe so I can link my friends to this thread. And it might be a nice guide for any newbies, or anyone who doesn't have a lot of cash to spend on airsoft. Spring guns other than shotguns and snipers aren't included because my friends aren't interested in them, but you can mention them if you'd like. So help me expand this list! Mention anything that you think is pretty cheap for what it is. I could use some help with other gas pistols to consider. The prices they are looking for is generally under $100, but we can probably do some stretching. ...AEGs should be <~$125 (including battery, charger, and at least 1 magazine) ...Shotguns and Snipers should be <~$100 (including at least 1 magazine) ...Gas pistols should be <~$60 (including at least 1 magazine) That's only for me, though, so post whatever you'd like.
