i dont know that much about em, but if i where you i would save up about 100 bux and get a mp5 from wolverine tactical MUCH better that a gas pistol. you will blow your friends away!

Well, since his buget is 180, saving up another 100 sounds a little out of the question. And because he's playing against his friends with springers, really unnecassary.

with $180, you have a very realistic and respectable budget. The only problem is, your question is too broad. What you should do is go watch a movie, or play a "shoot-'em-up" video game. Find a gun that you think looks really cool and then see if there is a decent model available. The only thing you've limited yourself too is a higher end WA (western Arms) or higher end KSC. With 180, pretty much anything else is possible.

As for a desert eagle specifically, the KWC is the best DE available. it's a fine gun, and skirmish capable. There's nothing spectacular about it, and it's appearence is a little lacking. The TM DE doesn't measure up in terms pf performance, and was pretty much a factory "lemon". As was the very disappointing, and now discontinued WA DE. So if you're set on a DE, KWC is your only current choice. it'll serve you fine, and you'll demolish your springer toting friends (btw, get extra mags, you'll be out of ammo before they hit double digits in terms of shots fired. it's amazing how much more trigger happy you get when you have semi auto over single shot).

For $180, you can get a better gun though. Just look around and see what looks "cool" to you. start with www.dentrinityshop.com and www.airsofttoys.com to get an idea of who makes what and how uch it can cost. Just remember that with den, you will have to pay a pretty penny for shipping, and you can't order gas from them (you can, but it'll be shipped via...ship, and take a few weeks, if not months to acctually get to you, and that's no fun).

btw, check out the newbie FAQ, it's the first post in the newbie section. It'll answer all of your questions and then some.

i have a KWC Desert Eagle and it is awesome. It shoots better and harder than my stock tokyo marui M4. If you do get one, get it from www.plyconsarmory.com or www.airsoftatlanta.com and get some .20g bb's. It shoots awesome.
Just, when you're loading the magazine into the grip, dont jam it in really hard like you see in the movies and stuff, just do it nice and easy or else you will damage the slide lock spring.

it was just a suggestion jdl_9th




225gun+50 battery and charger=275 so i guess i am wrong, 5 bux cheaper

[Knief]

blag, don't get so upset.

The guy asked for a gbb for under 180, you suggested him an AEG (which, BTW, is much cheaper than you listed). I didn't (and still don't) believe that's what he's looking for (or needs for what he described), so i said it. It's nothing personal against you, it's about helping turtle the best we, as a community, can.

Well back to the suggestions for GBB.
I perosnally love my KSC G19.. It looks feels and performs great. Its reliable and not as heavey as the D Eagle. But my firend Steve has a KWC D Eagle and man that thing can shoot he shot my in the calf across two rooms in my house and instant bruise. Its really up to you. Like JDL_9th said play some games( Counter strike and Firearms have good guns) and see if theres a good model. FA is where i first saw my MP5 a4 whihc by the way, i got today (check the AEG forum) anywho..theres lots of pistols to choose from, look around at some sites and find one you like then ask people on here or read reviews.

I like www.Uncomapny.com of coarse I'd only buy from there if Mike and WTS didnt have what i was looking for

What do you guys think of the all metal M9 by KJ Works?
what i really want is good high fps accuracy and solid build...i dont want a gbb that is delicate...if i let one of my friend use it and they drop it i dont want a busted P.O.S. I heard that the all metal M9 can scratch easily though so thats definatly a negative....thanks for your help

Meatl wil make it more durable.. Fomr what ive heard of KJ you might wanna get new trigger and hammer (that may be on non metal) and the mags leak but thats easily fixed theres a post on it somewhere rou nd here or airsoft ohio. Search the forume for All metal m9 KJ there is a search. But other then that i heard the KJ makes good workhorse scrimage durable guns for a cheap price. if ya have the money go Tm or WA or KSC(japan) but i ahve heard bad things about KJ besides mag and trigger.
