My first gun!

[Aromasin]

I've been enough times now to get a license to buy single tone guns. I have personally trawled through pages and looked on hundreds of websites and forums to see what gun would be the perfect 'beginner' gun. But unfortunately I am completely lost. It is so difficult to balance out a good gun with reliability terms on a smallish budget.

Now, my question for you guys is simple. What gun should I get?

To be a bit more specific, I am looking for something that is reliable, and with good handling could get me through a good few months. And Assault Rifle preferably, although I have had my eyes on a few Shot Guns. It would be nice if I could have something that has the ability to swap between attachments, so I don't get bored TOO quickly. Again, I'm quite lost with it all, so I'm still undecided on whether it should be electric, gas etc.

It would be nice if I could get some links, and feel free to mention any mishaps you had with your first gun, so I can hopefully avoid them :D

Re: My first gun!

If you want something to customise/accessorise then its got to be an m4.

G&G do some cheap m4s,that seem to get fairly good reviews.

G&G combat machine M4's/ak/mp5 if money is tight check them out loads of different choices and configs , dont be put of that they have plastic bodies they are re-enforced nylon plastic which is stronger than most chinese pot metal bodies , feels solid and you will forget its plastic. Internals are of normal G&G high quality

Re: My first gun!

electric! whats your budget? and what rilfes do you like?

DONT go with combat machine or Classic army sportline stuff!!!!!!

it WILL fall apart, my freind had 2 of the combat machines, one for him self the other for his girl freind they never worked brand new out the box from zero one, and in only a few game days my sportline M4 body split ( cheapo plastic)

the G&G m4 (gr-16) rilfes are no less then epic!

zero one dont do the cheaper guns like cyam, JG ect

the cyma AKs are great, and as a plus at £200 there full wood and metal!

JG g36s are nice, my freind has a JG g36 and it out ranges a lot of guns on our sight great accuray and consistenty out the box at 350fps only costing £150

but dont forget you need batterys, mags and a good charger

Re: My first gun!

Re: My first gun!

If you like the look of an ak go for cyma. Extremely reliable yet cheap!

Re: My first gun!

Electric would be best for a starter in my opinion, Gas weapons can get quite pricey :/
ICS plastic body range is quite good, prices are around £190ish shop dependant.
The G36 range is a great starter weapon, very durable and ergonomic :D Plus it's widely available, lots of manufacturers make them i have an Ares EBB G36c and i love it XD But if its adaptability your after then it's got to be an M4
In terms of sportline guns i wouldn't recommend them as me and others have had some bad experiences with both CA and G&G :/

Re: My first gun!

A DECENT M4 is the way to go. Have a look on ZerOne and tell us what you like the look of. Rambete, stop trolling.

Re: My first gun!

It all depends on budget if you've got loads to spend you've got alot of options, if you've got a good amount of money get somehting like marui or G&P or ICS if you want budget G&G,CYMA,SRC and ICS sportline are supposed to be great.

Re: My first gun!

Right, thanks alot for the replies! Sorry I haven't answered much of the feedback, been a bit busy :/

Anyway, I'm thinking the general consensus is an M4, which is what I wanted but I wasn't entirely sure. So there is a list of manufacturers (from the Zero One store) and I don't know which would be best, so I made a list to pick from, with about £200 pounds budget. Less would be nice but, watcha going to do...

-Ares AEG M4A1
-G&P AEG M4 EOD
-G&P AEG M4A1 Carbine (Not sure which is which with the G&P...)
-G&P AEG M4A1 Rifle

These are within what I want, not sure what's up with them. Didn't look specifics. Feel free to mention some handy attachments also!
