Guide: What gun should I buy? START HERE

[Abdou1]

I don`t know which gun to choose from nor cant find "my" gun. Basically what i will be doing:

-Playing Outdoor fields alot. (Mostly GodFather)

-Firing in cover. (Camping as what some of you call it)

-running (I dont want to carry a heavy gun around everywhere) (Im only 5' and weigh 100Lbs)

-I will be close to the opposite team not 200ft away.maybe 70-130ft

This probably doesnt make sense but here you go.

also..

Im looking for a gun that:

-Full Metal (doesnt have to be)

-durable

-Has a railing system. (for attachments)

-high ROF

-And good range

-upgradeable

-Armed Force style weapons (MP5,M4 etc)

My budget for Just a gun is 160$

Is this a hard budget? I know you said it's optional but, I don't think you can get very much full metal for less than $200.

-Armed Force style weapons (MP5,M4 etc)
-running (I dont want to carry a heavy gun around everywhere) (Im only 5' and weigh 100Lbs)

I'm 5'5" and my primary is a 7 year old UTG MP5. I find it to be a very comfortable gun to field from an ergonomic perspective. It is light weight, and very maneuverable. However, that particular model only does ~290 +/-10 FPS with .2's and does not have the best range. Also, I don't see it in stock anywhere after a quick google search, and after looking at ASGI and Evike, MP5's will run you ~$200.

Have you considered AK47 variants?
I have found that many of those are reasonably compact and portable.
CYMA makes AK47 variants in your price range, and I've heard them reviewed favorably.
Descent ROF, but I don't think they are upgradable, and I don't see one with a rail system.

Redfox has a good point, a CYMA or DBoys made AK-74U is very compact and full metal.

You should also consider buying a G&G polymer bodied

An M16 based platform under $160 that I can recommend is this AGM. It's a budget gun with average parts but it should be reliable as long as you don't abuse it or put in a battery that's over 10 volts (a 7.4v Lipo or 9.6v NiMH would be ok).

Thanks Moondog. I will maybe get the agm and redwolf i can go up more but if i did i would have less gear. And im looking for a gun that will last atleast 4 month so i can get the hang of airsoft not a gun that would last me 4 years and thanks for your help. im not a fan of ak series because of its lack of upgrades.

Hi guys,

Anyone have an opinion about the quality of Umarex GBB Pistols? I'm looking to get a Walther PPQ but I don't have any experience with Umarex.

Thanx

I just purchased a "red jacket" branded Umarex CO2 1911 for cold weather use. Shoots about 250-260 with .25s. Have only run a dozen or so mags through it ( almost 5 reloads on one CO2 cyclinder) but it's built well. ( I always dis-assemble gbbs prior to use and re-lube everything that wasn't ).

Thanx Mark.

I wanted that Red Jacket 1911 but didn't get it because it was CO2. Is it as sweet as it looked?
