BF2S Forums Buying an airsoft gun

Anything by Tokyo Marui, really. They make great stuff for all price ranges. If they're too much, look for Jing Gong/Echo 1/Golden Bow guns. They're budget, but they work really well, and always pack a hell of a punch out of the box. Check http://redwolfairsoft.com/, they ship globally.

You want to avoid plastic parts at all cost, especially in the gearbox, if there are plastic parts in the gearbox expect them to get ripped to shreds.

I can't the website, I only speak English

Just copy paste the name and find it on an English site
@Gunsmoke- having matches with friends
I found another one that is made by Tokia marui and its supposed to be full metal:

The clip only holds 60 BBs but I heard low/mid cap clips are better than high cap ones. Is it worth paying so much more?

If you're looking for something little less professional, simple, and cheap, requiring minimal maintenance and so on, get that Jing Gong. It's mainly plastic, but they have quite good feel anyhow. They are the best entry-level (or "mess around with-level" if you so wish) AEGs on the market. Won't break very easily, have some rough edges, and have extremely good out-of-the-box performance and price:performance ratio.

If you want something that'll let you customize everything, have full industrial standardization support, feel really good and sturdy and will last for 15 years, get the TM. If you need the TM over the JG, you would probably know.

Freezer a buddy of mine said I should avoid Tokio Marui-too many plastic parts. (?) He recommended systema PTW series but those are really expensive. Thanks for the link I'll check it out now.

Edit: I only found 2 battery operated guns on that site (?)

AFAIK, Systema make airsoft guns for the police as training weapons, and they cost about 1500USD a piece. Slightly beyond what an airsoft beginner needs.

What should I look for, I know theres output speed measured in FPS's but I don't know how good is for example 350FPS. Then there clip capacity-is 40 bullets capacity enough or do I need a clip with 300 bullets capacity. Would like it to have as much metal parts as possible. Was thinking of Thompson/MP40 but the clip capacity is really low or maybe the G36C. Any better recommendations? I'm also putting on a red dot/scope. I'm willing to spend 200€ max on the gun. Also it needs to be battery powered.

Thanks for any input you can give me!

No only americans use FPS (feet per second), we still use the real deal (m/s). From there on it's easy to see how good a gun is. Seeing as the speed of sound = 340m/s, most pistols fire at around 200-300m/s and say the M16 fires it's bullets with a muzzle velocity of around 900m/s. So you can use those references as benchmarks to see how powerful (or weak) an Airsoft gun is.

Actually all airsoft guns are measured in FPS, even in the UK. And as a reference, the fastest airsoft BB you'll get from a high end sniper is a little over 500FPS, and 350FPS for an automatic is pretty average.

If you're going to get an airsoft gun, don't get a cheap one. I got a G36 on eBay for like $40 after shipping and I'm regretting it. They advertised it shooting at like 250-300fps but it's pretty damn weak. I unloaded a clip onto my leg at like a half a foot away and it didn't even hurt, I tried shooting a doorknob at the end of the hallway and since it's so weak, all the shots just curve away. Try and shop around a bit and look for a good one, don't be cheap like I was, I regret getting the thing and now it's just a decoration.

Mp5 win
(it doesnt come with anything but a cheap forgrip(sp.)



my friend has this with the lowcap magazines, so he never has to wind them (hes right, they are nice like that), right now hes just using a foregrip that came with it, and iron sights... Bottom line, its godly (for a $175 weapon) Its spread is REALLY small, I think it got chrono'd (speed rated) at Airsoft GI before it was shipped at 420-430 fps


Its also a solid weapon, the battery is in the buttstock, which is nice because the weight is on your shoulder, and it just has a nice feel to the weapon

Thanks for that, a friend of mine bought one of these last week and hes going to lend it to me.
@sportsman I ordered cybergun the gearbox and the gun itself is full metal and with wooden grip. They have a 15 day return policy on their charge. Heres what I ordered:
1    CG AK 74SU FULL METAL    120912    229.90 €    229.90 €
1    BB 0,20/1000 HITRO POLNJENJE    200153    4.10 €    4.10 €
1    BB 0,20/5000 ICS    200526    12.50 €    12.50 €
1    HLAČE FLECKTARN ORIGINAL (Velikost: L)    01125    9.90 €    9.90 €
1    JAKNA S PODLOGO ORIGINAL (Velikost: L)    06035    20.00 €    20.00 €
1    MASKIRNA OBLEKA ZIMSKA     07605    15.00 €    15.00 €
1    SRAJCA FLECKTARN ORIGINAL (Velikost: L)    03175    9.90 €    9.90 €
1    ROKAVICE BELE (Velikost: L)    15025    3.00 €    3.00 €

Those BBs are supposed to be high quality, also ordered Original German army shirt, pants, jacket, winter camo (pants&jacket), winter gloves.

Will let you guys know how it works out, the reviews are promising.

I hope the Cybergun works out for you.  In the future, I would go with Tokyo Marui or Classic Army.  JG/GB/Echo 1 are good mid-level AEGs.

Ye I got the highest quality BBs. I was also thinking of getting JG G36C which is around 100€ cheaper than the gun I ordered. What I didn't like was that it was metal/plastic combo.
Classic army looks to have top quality guns but they are a bit expensive. Most of them start at 400€ (526$)
