:

I am getting the impression here, that you didn't go to an airsoft club, and didn't wear any kind of body armour, but instead just got shot at by your friends? Am I right here?

Well---yeah^^, but I had gun too...

...so maybe it wasn't official airsofting, but it was close enough.

Okay, I'll shut up now.

Again, thanks for the advice people. I'm looking into a decent Desert Eagle spring pistol, which is the same price as the Mac 11 spring.

Actually, the possibility of CQB was what interested me in the first place. With paintball, you have to go to some designated paintball feild. With airsoft, Hell, you can just play in someone's house... as long as they don't mind the little BBs.

My brother (who only occasionly blows his money on skateboarding) is investing in a M16 spring, so I'll at least have a chance to get the feel of a rifle while I'm saving up. The great thing about the Airsofters in my neighborhood is that they're always glad to let someone borrow their weapon. I believe there is a G3A3, G36c, UHC Super 9, M16A1, Super 368, and several pistols in the "community pot."

i'm seriously staring to see how all these arguments start... but i'm not going to argu, i'm just going to stay out of it. I'm newish to airsoft anyway.

Abe's Son. You wont find an airsoft G11 for a long time. One guy in Tokyo made a custom one, but i dont think hes selling it. and ya cant get automatic spring guns either...

Death, so of us dont have the money to get a ****ing uber max out P90, some of us have to settle for the basics and build on that later on.

How does the G36c fire differently from a rifle? It uses the same ammuntion as an M-16, 5.56. I'm asking this in a friendly way, not sarcasticly.

you can top up gas in a GBB very easly, and the gas can last for quite a while.

Word of warning to people, a silencer does not improve accuracy.

*jealous*

I was looking on some UK sites... no fair. You guys have such a huge variety of airsoft stuff. Merka is stuck with such a limited supply. I mean, I can't even find a decent Merkan site that sells Marui guns.

Fez · #66 03-14-2004, 05:23 AM

wheres Merka? in the USA?

try here or here here

EDIT: ahahahahahah! try here

EDIT AGAIN: that site above sells Spring L-85's.... now who's the lucky one....

SeaRex · #67 03-14-2004, 05:28 AM

Nifty!

For some reason, I can't get on that Red wolf site. On either computer. I've tried before, it just won't load. But those other sites are great... wonder why I never came across them before.

Fez · #68 03-14-2004, 05:32 AM

for some reason you have to get rid of your pop up blocker to get onto redwolf, which is weird, cause they dont have any pop ups. Anyway, Redwolf have the cheapest prices in the US.

Since Death isnt here to be a dick head....

buy a FAMAS to start off with, see how you like it. If you dont like it, tell me, and i'll find someone to buy it off you.

for a pistol the best i can get in the UK is a Glock 19, but you can do better!

http://www.airsoft-war4.com/w4_handg...=TANAKA&page=1

buy either a browning BD or a USP

i so badly want that browning, i've been looking for an airsoft one for ages, wish i could buy stuff rom the states. How much would s&h cost?

Fez · #69 04-25-2004, 03:24 AM

^^Sorry bout that Death, your not a dickhead^^

I got new ideas. I'm gonna buy a Red Dot Sight I found on Ebay for £8.00!!! Slap that on me P90, and give it a sling. Thats that done.

G36C - I'll get a CA G36E handguard kit, put that on, and buy a CA Red Dot Sight (due t its coolness on a G36) I'll consnantly be on the look out for a G36K handguard though....

MP5A4 - I'll get one of these, put a flashlight handguard on, and give it a CA Red Dot Sight. (CA sights look good on all H&K guns)

SA-80 - This will be the hardest thing to do, and most expensive. It'll probably be in a few years so i can go and see Death and get him to help me. Anyway, get a springer SA-80, make it a semi/auto gas powered rifle. Thats right, GAS!

Codek · #70 04-25-2004, 04:10 AM

G36C is nice. I want to make a cutom built G36C sniper rifle - give it a PSG-1 trigger mechanism, TASCO scope, extended barrel, and modify it to take single shot gas-shells. I could probably get a good 50 meter range with metal BBs.

FAMAS is also a nice bullpup, but very short and ideally suited to CQB. Same goes for P90. A better first gun for all-rounding is the Marui M-16, since it is long enough to act as a good ranged rifle, and has the automatic fire for CQB. It allows you to take part in nearly all types of airsoft battle without switching weapons.

It's up to you, but I really think you would be better off with an assault rifle rather than a bullpup smg/rifle.

Sekto Springs · #71 04-25-2004, 04:14 AM

I'm not that familiar with the airsoft range, I just get cheap ones off Airsplat.com.

Fez · #72 04-25-2004, 04:27 AM

With the CA kit, the barrel length will go up, making it a good rifle to use in woodland. For CQB i've got a P90. The MP5A4 and gas powered SA-80 were mostly for novelty, but would use the SA-80 in woodland, MP5A4 in CQB.

Codek · #73 04-25-2004, 04:30 AM

You could always thread the muzzle and screw on a SOCOM silencer.

Fez · #74 04-25-2004, 04:37 AM

Naw, dont want one of those. I want it to have a really cool flash hider. (The secret is, i ****ing hate threading muzzles, takes forever)

Codek · #75 04-25-2004, 04:39 AM

Yeah you ideally need a metal workshop. We've got one at our airsoft club, and we're eternally thankful for it. All thanks to membership fees.

Fez · #76 04-25-2004, 04:46 AM

I dont have on at my Airsoft club, we do have a custome gun workshop though, i should have a good look in there one day.

Codek · #77 04-25-2004, 07:37 AM

We use ours to machine replacement parts in metal by copying the original part. And also to re-barrel our guns with metal ones.

Helps get a better weight and longer or shorter barrel should we so choose.
