Weapons Choices
 

Hey guys, before i ask ill just say this, i have confronted the FAQs and those only help me so much, and i also understand that i am a minor so please dont go crazy on me for asking.
Could someone help me find a DECENT gun meeting these criteria:
-Good platform to upgrade on
-Assault Rifle
-Under $400
-A weapon that can take a beating
-And a weapon that is good for outside battles

If anyone could help me find a AEG that meets some or most of these aspects it would be greatly appreciated.

A good gun that an take a beating pretty much means metal body or non-ABS plastic.... in other words, more than $400 gun.

However, based off the rest of your criteria, I'd vote something by JG (maybe their G36) or a lower-end G&G model.

I find larger assault rifles (M16, G3, etc) with plastic bodies are rather creaky or flex and overall just aren't as strong. They'll work fine but you can't smack them around like a metal or nylon bodied gun.

I'd say pretty much any "mid end" china clone will do. CYMA, JG, AGM, etc. Outside of that to get a gun that meets all of your criteria I'd say you would have to look at getting a budget of at least $500.

Also when do you turn 18? If you're 16+ I'm sure if you ask your local field you *might* be able to spectate and maybe even join in on a game. Obviously you can't buy guns but at least you kind of get your foot in the door for greater acceptance.

CYMA AK-74U (and other AKs) are what you are looking for (externally, they are very solid) and within your price range

i have the cyma ak74su. amazingly solid. can be used for both cqb and outdoors.

3 of my guys have had Cyma AK's, none of them lasted longer than a year. After constant use they start to get super wobbly and accuracy starts going straight down the shitter.

A CYMA AK74U will run you about 350, If you save up another 150-200 you could find a nice side folding, ALL STEEL Realsword Type 56-2 :)

QFT. My entire triangle stock snapped off with no hope of repair, nor replacements. The whole front sight assembly was wobbly, and front sights were not even zero to the flight path, and could not be adjusted accordingly.

now before you say anything about how noby is telling you were to get these suggestions, it's against forum rules to tell you as your underage. But aside from that I'd also suggest A CYMA, Kalash, Echo 1, JG or Dboys.

I would say the CYMA AK-47. I don't own it but I've heard good things about it, and there's a full metal and real wood version on evike for $180.00. Or if you want to wait there's another version with blowback they're supposed to get in for $190 I think it was?
Here's the first one: http://www.airsoftpost.com/product_i...ducts_id=30088

If you don't want to order from evike(don't know where you
re from but I know Canadians usually can't import airsoft guns, unless they're clear I think?) I'm sure you can find a similar price somewhere else.

Basically, when it comes purchasing airsoft guns, you have 3 general traits:

-Reliability (strength, dependability, maintenance, etc.)
-Performance (accuracy, consistency)
-Upgradability (after market part availability, part comparability, etc)

When purchasing on a budget, pick any two. You won't get all 3 for the price you're looking for.

The best advice I can give would be to contact local players. Not only is it kind of pointless to gear up without a place to play, but you'll be able to see guns up front and get vast amounts of information face to face.

Then, when you know better what you're interested in, you'll be in a better position to get it.

How young are you?

Buddy,

Your only choices can be found at :
www.canadianairgunsupply.com

Since they are the only Canadian suppliers or ''legal'' airsoft.

I would suggest G36, but you can get great reviews on :
http://www.airsplat.com
Although it is a USA site they do give good infos and video reviews on most guns.

Coming from many American friends i have, airsplat sucks.
"Canadian Legal" is a marketing ploy to have players in Canada believe that what everyone else uses (full black "evil" guns) seem illegal.

Seriously dude... learn what the fuck you're talking about. You're 100% wrong.

Read more. Post less. I wouldn't be harsh normally but this isn't the first or only post you've made with this disinformation. I'm glad you want to help, but spreading misinformation helps no one.

I run an ICS M4A1. It's cheap, can be upgraded fairly well, and so far has been rock solid for me, They even have an improved outer barrel that doesn't have the wobble that plagues some other M4s. And the split mech box makes it versatile, Buy a new upper with internals (they come as complete parts from ICS for lengths from 18.5 to 7.5") and in ~30 seconds you can go from a longer range m16 to a CQB size gun.

dont worry about him, hes not AV'd and so am i... he sure didnt read about the illegal business of importing guns and other *cough*USA sites*cough*
iceman, like he said dont spread disinformations about things, what about here ASC? there might be some good for reaper's price range
now reaper, there is many type of airsoft guns around, just pick the ones that is your size, will you able to pull it out during gaming time? or if you're right handed and have a support weapon that have a ammo box on the left side etc, plus your location i think im sure you can find a dealer near your area
and i like to suggest the KJ works M4 carbine GBBR

Corrected. Been running mine for 2 years, still solid. And I know people with RS Type 56 AND 97 who only have problems with them.

So you can get shit, whatever the brand. Though I admit some have a lot % of lemons than others.

If you're underage, wait and save some more and get a vfc scar-L, takes stanag (read M-4) mags no need to up grade and it's cnc alumimum. I'm still kicking my self about not buying one and going for a TM S-System M4 for 150 less

You're so wrong, it hurts my head.

That and I thought only wholesalers could buy from CAS, so unless you want to get 5 crap guns at once, don't bother.
