New to Airsoft, Need Advice

[AppleBaum]

New to airsoft. Old to paintball.

I'm trying to get into the game but I'd like some begginer advice on buying an AEG or a high quality spring rifle (i.e. a Marui spring shotgun).

-Can anyone give a run down on the factors that affect accuracy out of an AEG? Quality spring rifle?
-What should I watch out for?
-I'm considering and M14 or Spring shotgun, any worries/pointers?
-Recommended upgrades? FPS? Barrel? Internals?
-What's the usual max FPS at skirmishes anyway?
-What about BB weights?
-Any informative sites/articles I should check out?...

The FAQ section should answer alot of your questions.
You'll get a better response from users here if you've informed yourself as much as possible before you start asking questions.

It's no problem. The FAQ won't answer *all* your questions, but alot of the info you're looking for is very basic, and there are extensive threads about them tucked away in the FAQ or somewhere else on this site..

Happy airsofting.

I would recommend buying a Tokyo Marui and keeping it stock. You dont want to start tinkering with em, because thats what causes problems.
