Beretta, he packs real steel. which is why he doesnt use it that much in a match

I have the Star SA80, the TM P90TR and a Glock18 AEP.

All nice guns, especially the SA80, I have quite a few people disliking the sniper rifile accuracy with the AEG firepower. At our site every time you get a sniper without backup everybody just does a mass rush (all the other snipers use bolt action weapons) which dosen't work to well when at the flip of the selector I become a machine gunner :naughty:

Nice. Whish is why I prefer sneaking up on people to rushing them. Plus, the look of surprise can be quite funneh.

Haha, eHobby Asia. BEST SITE EVER if i may add.

It really depends what kinda thing youre trying to do with your rifle. If youre making it like a SOPMOD M4, you d take the first one,

but since you have a CA M15, they both look pretty much the same to me on it. But i DO like the blue reticle, very sexy.

If you cant decide, flip a coin, but for me as of right now...i d take the second one with the blue reticle.

WELL M4A1, not high quality but has loads of accesories
CYMA Baretta M92f, had several attachments that made the gun look futuristic, its in pieces now
CYMA Pistol, I don't know the model it was based on although it looked sort of like an AMT Hardballer. It is also broken
CYMA AKS-74U, had a jam on the first day, since then only the mag exists.

So far I learned not to be tempted into buying cheap Chinese airsoft guns. Their good for film props not much for anything else though.

But...those ARE cheap chinese airsoft guns...

I'd prefer an EOTech 551 HWS:

http://img.redwolfairsoft.com/upload...CC-SCOPE-L.jpg

Actually it's not a real steel 551, but a functional reproduction made for AEGs. I'm looking at getting a CA M15A4 Carbine, removing the carry handle and sliding this onto the rail.

P.S.: The irons aren't so bad if you know how to use and adjust them properly. For Airsoft as well as short to medium range action, just keep them zeroed and on target. Breath, sight-alignment, trigger squeeze.

I have a silver plastic [my early years] Desert Eagle .50 AE which is a spring action. I also have another Desert Eagle .50 AE, but this one is mostly metal and it's finish is matte black, and it is gas-operated. I'm planning on buying a 1911 gas-operated pistol and also an HK USP Expert .45 replica.

SolidifiedPenguin August 9th, 2006 02:20 AM

Re: Airsofting Talk
 
I also have Desert Eagle .50AE. Mines the Tokyo Marui one, Hardkick version. Hardest blowback/recoil of any stock airsoft pistol out there ;).

Also hopefully soon, i am planning to buy a Colt 1911 too, National Match and a silencer to go with it.

And then a red dot sight on top of my Desert Eagle =D

Cost around $150-$170. Not totally sure. It is a BEAST!

N88TR August 10th, 2006 05:18 PM

Re: Airsofting Talk
 
I remember going to gunshop just to hold the real Desert Eagle .50AE and it was a lot heavier than the metal gas-operated one I have, but I guess the airsoft manfacturers [mine is Redwolf] were going for visual authenticity, not weight as well.

Roaming East August 10th, 2006 06:41 PM

Re: Airsofting Talk
 
Most airsofters wouldnt put up with the weight real gear actually weighs, thats why you see so many tricked out M4-gerys with rail equipment that doesnt fit the scenario.

Crazy Wolf August 10th, 2006 10:50 PM

Re: Airsofting Talk
 
Indeed. I would not put much on an M4 for Airsoft, perhaps a flashlight in a dark area(though why do that when you can pull a pistol and a maglite?), a pistol grip to assist is CQB, maybe a reddot sight or laser sight, nothing too fancy. No need for anything really shiny.

RedWolf is a retailer not a manufacturer so you may have a lower quality gun than some of the other ones. Mine is only about a hundred grams lighter than the real Desert Eagle so its pretty close.

hehe that "Aimpoint" wana-B is crap. it is a red dot that is it....

and when i was in the army iron sights were the only tride and true thng. u cant have a aimpoint or laser/red dot sight with out zeroing your weapon to begin with by straping on a sight is crazy if u dont have it zeroed.

Crazy Wolf August 12th, 2006 06:41 PM

For an Airsoft weapon, why do through all that trouble, when you can just spray and pray?

when you 'were' in the Army? your age says your 19, what did you get kicked out for?

Crazy Wolf August 12th, 2006 06:55 PM

Re: Airsofting Talk
 
Yeah, even if one went in at 17, basic takes 2 months, and then you have specific training. Plus, isn't the signup minimum 4 years?

Because, you'll barely hit them. People who aim normally, on a regular basis, get results. Spray and praying is useful only when you try to scare people. I scare people good, by holding down on automatic when my clip is empty, people think they are getting shot at so a buddy can go reload (it's fun but soon enough they'll figure it out).

Crazy Wolf August 15th, 2006 07:11 PM

Re: Airsofting Talk
 
See, what you need are multiple weapons. One that you actually aim with, and is fairly accurate, and another that is just a pellet hose.

not in the vest, they're too expensive, but the vest alone should stop 9mm rounds, or shotgun rounds alone, if i'm correct.

but yeah, i do have the plate for the groin protector.

Shabaam. Heavy too, no joke. least i dont have to wear the soft armor inserts. BTW, without the plates or soft armor inserts, the IBA kevvie will only stop JHP 9mm, ball or +P stuff will cut on through.
This setup is about 20 pounds, without gear. my LBV with full complement of 10 mags and misc gear will add about another 10lbs, and then theres the buttpack, assault bag and whatever commo stuff i need and water. I try to keep it to 40lbs if im walking, 60 lbs if we're motorized.

Awsomely cool vest:p

Crazy Wolf August 18th, 2006 10:16 PM

Re: Airsofting Talk
 
See, that is a weight I try to keep below on hikes. I don't think that wearing all that stuff will be much help in Airsoft, just have what you need, and some stuff that will make it easier for you. (Binoculars, duct tape, stuff like that)

I just play springers with my friends for the moment, but I would love to get an AEG and start doing more things.

Crazy Wolf August 23rd, 2006 10:39 PM

Re: Airsofting Talk
 
Aegs are much fun, especially when playing against springs. Always makes me think of the Wild West, and of the wagon box fight, I think it was by Fort Kearney, IIRC.

August 2, 1867 near Fort Phil Kearney. 31 Soldiers of the US Army against 1000-2000 Sioux warriors.

Crazy Wolf August 24th, 2006 06:49 PM

Re: Airsofting Talk
 
Close to 1,300 Souix, IIRC. They did not all die, but the Henry/Winchester certainly showed it's worth.

Dan2004 August 25th, 2006 07:22 PM

Re: Airsofting Talk
 
Those Springfield .50cal Trapdoor Rifles sure helped alot too. If they had been equipped with older muzzle-loaders, they surely would have been overrun after the first wave.

Give it up for my Ak-47, M-16 Vietnam, and Mp5-A4. They're all full metal and all up graded to shoot 445 fps. They basically make you bleed but they're sweet. They're Tokyo Mauri also.

They pretty accurate except the Mp5-A4. My friends and I were shooting a metal pan, that was about 1 and a half feet across at like 47 yards. But we can shoot beyond that accuratly also. So the AK-47 and M16 A1 pretty accurate up to 55 yards or so. One of my friends has an up graded sniper that's accurate up to 85 yards, and shoots over 600 fps, I want to asy it's an upgraded APS2.

Actually I think he means the Tokyo Marui M16VN, which are modeled after the original M16 with some of the original features: three pronged flash hider, lack of a forward assist, etc. You know, pre-A1. It even comes with a short-stick style 190 rd mag.

Yeah that's the gun. I didn't think it was the M16 A1. Except the mag only holds about 100 BB's, well the midcap does.
