Newbie advice re woodland rifle

[budda]

Hi

Have just completed my UKARA at AWA herts and am off to purchase my 1st AEG.....But hopefully with some advice from experienced airsofters.

Intended Use : Woodland
Fps : 265-350
Price Range : £100-£250

I'd like a AEG that will be able to hold its own in a woodland/field combat situation, as after using rented guns and not being able to hit anything more than 20 feet away I want something that has range.

I have been looking at the Tokyo Marui's and been reading varying reviews but most say that they have the best hop up unit ?

Any suggestions would be helpful and also which reputable supplier to use ??

Thanks

Budda

theres no such thing as a woodland gun!

im planning on running around with a springer shotgun next game, against aeg's

pick what you want, go to a shop, handle the guns see what feels right for you

Re: Newbie advice re woodland rifle

yes but what im getting at is,

how can we tell you on what gun your after, go to a shop, have a fondle, see what the guns feel like and have a play,

or do what i did, spend £200 a month on diff guns, till you find one that feels nice, then sell the ones you dont want at a loss of 50% lol

Re: Newbie advice re woodland rifle

yeah went up to ************* and had a look but they didn't have any TM in stock to take a look at and seems only places who stock are ************ and zero one . which aren't near to me. Think i'll probably go the route you have by purchasing one via the internet... Think I was more after advice about re which make for reliability.. build quality and best value for price .... which make do you recommend ?

Utmost of your budget, G&P. Or classic army but that's a little over I think?

Re: Newbie advice re woodland rifle

There is no such thing as a woodland weapon, you can run around with a handbag sized TM P90 if you wanted to and it would out range a lot of aeg's.

My advice would be to have a bash and see what you like the look of first before spending cash (because trust me you won't end up having 1 AEG its a bug) but you want a nice start.

The new G&G range is ace for starters and get the fun of their blowback system.

You want a realistic M4 then grab a G&P but don't expect monster range with the stock hop unit in it, would need replacing with a modded madbull unit (which I wouldn't advice messing about with on your first AEG) how ever if you do plan on upgrading G&P would be the best bet.

Re: Newbie advice re woodland rifle

Probably better to have a look for a second hand AEG that has been looked after and upgraded a bit (Hop up etc) because if you buy a new one I guarantee that you will be spending money on upgrades within a week or two anyway lol.
I do a lot of woodland and the majority of people seem to use M4's as they are a good all rounder but if you want a bit more range you could go down the M14 route. You can get a long length TM M14 or a TM Socom M14 for the top end of your budget if you shop around a bit.
