Read before you plan to upgrade your Xmas gun.

Re: Read before you plan to upgrade your Xmas gun.

Yes B.E.N, very sound advice.
Post Christmas Ai article?

Could well be, although I always worry about how interested most people will be in reading about how I think they should play the game?

CK, if you wanna talk mp7, drop me a line!

In my eyes, it is sound advice from a seasoned player, Its not so much 'how you want them to play' but more of 'save the money for other stuff as your new gun doesnt need it'
If it aint broke, dont fix it.

My guns that have been upgraded have only been done so because items wore out/broke and required replacement anyway. So why not upgrade if its getting repaired.

Yup, agree with you ben - mags/gear to carry mags should be a higher priority than upgrades!

Although I'm a semi-experienced airsofter who got a load of parts for his m4 for christmas, and is getting a load more with xmas money - ive definitely past the point where i should just get a new gun but this way is far more satisfying!

I agree, before you go spending loads on upgrades actually play with the gun as it is, learn what it can and cant do, and work out how YOU can make it work for you (i.e how your tactics and gameplay will bring out the best in the kit you have).

Great advice BEN

What about downgrades? :p Considering I'm probably going to have to get a weaker spring for my ~350fps EBR build. Though need to be able to charge the bloody battery first haha.

Sound advice though, if I'd received some cash. Still got a bit of family to hear from though.

When you get to my age, enough cash at Xmas to even buy a hop rubber is special!

He speaks the truth.
I'm afraid upgrades and downgrades can't be bought with jack Daniels fudge or a packet of flying saucer sweets.

Ben, i don't like telling people how i think they should play, especially if they have payed good money to be there but i genuinely believe an article along these lines would be beneficial to at least 2 demographics...

1. To the new guys
2. To those who don't know it until they read it and it strikes a chord

Sound advice is sound advice no matter how you dissect it.

Probably better to keep it until next December's issue though. It will have missed the target if it goes in next months.

Don't forget they won't be complete noobs as they will have done the 3 games in blah blah months.

May be worth while in offering a few ideas on how to... With a basic upgrade/ check over. Mid level and then complete upgrade even doing one a month.

Incorporate something about batteries and chargers in a fourth maybe.
