what is preferred

[scarhead]

i've been debating on what to get. Although i already have three springers. any tips on not to exspensive guns?

[Rustpot]

what type of gun are you looking at getting?

for pistols, get gas, for assault rifles and SMG's, get electric, for shotguns and sniper rifles, get spring

[Knief]

Electric is the weapon of choice for primary weapons. But that's AEG's, not EBB. In other words, the electric rifles, not electric pistols.

Gas guns are typically the side arm of choice in warm weather atleast.

Springers are mediocre side arms for the winter time when you can't get enough pressure from gas to shoot the gun.

Electric pistols get you laughed off the field.

"Not to expensive"? What's your price range? 100, 200, 400? Springers aren't really skirmish worthy as a primary or usually as a secondary. So you'll need at least a gas gun to compete. If you're looking to get just the gun for 100 (don't forget good bbs and gas), then look for some KJW's and good deals on some TM's or KSC's (for KSC, look for their "taiwanese" versions of guns. They're usually 20-40 bucks cheaper and almost identical in build construction and performance. Remember, the taiwanese version of KSC is not the same as KWA despite what you may read on other forums or retailer websites). If you need a gun, gas, and good bbs for 100, then you're pretty much going to have to go with a KJW M9. Any KWC in the $60-70 dollar range isn't worth the money, it's their "lite blowback" series. They're a waste of money. If you're looking at an overall budget of between 150 and 200, then you have a wealth of options. Pretty much any good GBB will fit the bill. Granted some Western Arms guns will be above that budget, but that's ok, you'll get comperable performance from a TM or KSC GBB.

If you can reach into the 300-400 dollar range, you can get a good full set up for an AEG. They're definitely worth the extra money. Look into ANY TM aeg and you'll be satisfied with it.

about 100 ,why, any suggestions?

[CactusZac098]

For around $100 I'm too lazy to spell a full word out. Please mock me. looking at a spring rifle like a X733, M16 type gun, or a cheap GBB handgun.

Note to Knief: It is X733 or XM733, which was the first model name for the X(M)733 and X(M)177E2 models types.

[scarhead]

well a cheap gbb is out of the question since you still have to buy the gas but I'm about as sharp as a baseball. That's why I used stupid text speak. for the idea on the X733

As i said, you can get a KJW M9 and gas for 100 bucks. try www.airsoftatlanta.com or any of the other links on the side bar on the main page.

BTW, it's "XM177E2" not "XM733"

[scarhead]

you still have to pay for gas after that too, and I use my guns almost every day

If you're that tight on cash, and already have 3 springers...wait a while to buy another gun.

If you like pistols, all you have to do is save up another 50 bucks or so, and you're set to shoot for a couple months solid. If you want a rifle, save up $300 and get an AEG/Batt/charger...then all the cash you have to spend to shoot is BB's

If you can't save up that much, then accept the fact that all you'll ever own is springers.

[scarhead]

I think I can save that much. But I dont need to I already have that much.

[McG]

rogue, you know that we will have springers until eternity(or until we get jobs) ;D

Oh, for those of you who don't know, me and rogue go to school together
