so finally it seems ill be able to make enough to justify spending the money on a few airsoft rifles and try playing a few matches. the one big thing i want to know is whats good, and how much should i really be spending.

Indoor ranges can vary. Some don't allow over 350, ASBG doesn't allow over 400 fps.

I'll probably draw flak from our more diehard spenders and players, but go with a CYMA / AGM / SOFTAIR / CyberGun if your spending range is that low. I have owned several over the years from their M14's to their Thompsons and all performed well enough in games big and small. Just realize you are more likely to have a lemon, encounter problems or need repairs. But at the end of the day how often will you really be playing?

That's a great rifle also any of the Classic Army Sportlines. I wouldn't suggest buying many guns, all you need is a reliable rifle and a reliable pistol and your set. Don't worry about buying a super pistol either, as long as your rifle is working you won't be really using it unless you get close up. And then all you need is something that can hit 20 feet and is semi auto. I'd suggest putting money into longevity upgrades for your choice of a sportline. If your going to be mainly ASBG I'd suggest a p90, good ROF, good mag cap, and a small package. Or a AR15A4 for anything else they are common, lotsa upgrades, good range, lotsa ammo, all around a great gun.

+1 on the g&g

Another great option for getting a good gun at a decent price is buying a used one. Craigslist is full of bargains. There are a ton of cheap walmart guns being sold, but also you'll find nice ones. I like looking for used KWA, Classic Army, and Tokyo Mauri guns. Used ones go anywhere from 1/3 to 3/4 the price of a new one.

^^^ +1 on that too. Keep An eye out on the private seller boards here too.

If you plan on playing indoor, a

thx for the advice! i know its a small detail but i have my heart set on an mp5 and a g36c, always been favs of mine. i have bought from airsplat before i like their prices (but it was cheap shit just for hanging on my wall) yeah mostly i plan on outdoor. i have access to 10 acres in placerville for my friends and i to play on now and then and a group i know of in AR where i own 220 acres. but i might play some CQB, prolly get my rear handed to me while there.... anyway thx for being so helpful, i really feel welcomed.

random unrealted question, are springer pistols completely useless for this level of gaming? i have a umarex P99 spring that im about to finish a barrel extension on. mostly its a backyard plinker and a nifty wall decoration i got for 11 bucks, only thing is that the stock barrel is about 2.5 inches long, so i had a spare airsoft aluminium barrel. i have the space made for it just need to square it in there and use some epoxy to keep it solid. would it be of any use in games?

Not really... I don't even consider them airsoft guns...

yeah kinda figured as much, it'll make a cool wall hanger and cross-room target plinker. 8) something to use up these .12 grams i have laying around.

Jg isn't so bad, for beginner level guns, and are decent upgrade platforms. Although when you first get one I would advise you to do minor work on the gearbox, and make sure everything is properly set up. If you don't want to deal with all that, you should go for a more reputable company. Although making sure the gun is proper, is something that should be done to most guns.
