Need Help Picking mp5 Starter (Budget <400$)

Hairu · March 24th, 2010, 12:56

Not sure if that title was quite specific enough
here's the deal, I want to get into air soft
I want a good starter gun
I want an MP5 (and not just cause everyone else has one :P)
I cant pick one

-I was looking at the aftermath broxa, but after reading on here for a while I'm starting to think that might not be a great choice
-The other ones Ive been looking at have been g&g models
this one in particular https://www.buyairsoft.ca/gandg-mp5-blowback.html
but this one if I wanna spend more https://www.buyairsoft.ca/gandg-mp5-sd6.html

Main thing is I'm looking for an mp5 something maneuverable with good mid range capabilities that can be well rounded and used for numerous things
and as the title says Id like to spend less than 400$ (and thats after shipping and taxes)
(I'm not a cheap-ass I collect swords, but I don't wanna spend to much cause I'm gonna have to pay for college next year)

forget buyaairsoft.ca Get Age Verified (info is at the top of the forum in the stickies & in the FAQ). Browse the classifieds here. Get a TM or CA MP5.

If you were AV'd then you could easily find a better quality gun then those G&Gs in the classifieds here on ASC.
The only budget MP5 I've had contact with was a metal-bodied CA Sportline and it was a great little AEG.

Tm mp5 sd5 with ras and upgraded for cqb only cost me 425$ shipped in the classifieds

Hairu · March 24th, 2010, 13:28

Is there any canadian vendors that would have CA or TM

Forever_kaos · March 24th, 2010, 13:29

PM'd you

venture · March 24th, 2010, 13:33

you need to be age verified for us to answer that.

but, definitely get a tm. better yet a tm mp5k/pdw (look at my signature).

Hairu · March 26th, 2010, 14:31

I dont really like the look of PDWs
I prefer something Like this http://www.adrenalineproshop.com/productitem_275.php

Mach 1 airsoft has an ICS Mp5 for $385 i think

Like others have already said your best bet is to get AV then look in the for sale section here. I have seen a few good MP5 deals in there that would be under your budget and already have some upgrades on the guns.

Even if you decide to buy new from online shop its still good to get your AV done so you can look at parts or anything else the fine people on here are selling

fi3re · March 26th, 2010, 15:49

being in a similar position as you (assuming your 18+) I have to say, really, listen to what ppl say get age verified you WILL save and get a gun that's a lot better for same price

i say similar position as in I just got into the sport and already got hooked up with a killer deal
full black evilness too

Get AV'd and look for one with a suppressor on it and put a 300mm tbb in it. That set up has a few guys here doing quite well on a large field (one at 370fps and another at 400fps) against longer barrel guns.

Hairu · March 26th, 2010, 21:10

whats a tbb ?

Rooster · March 26th, 2010, 21:17

I'm a newb but I believe it's tight bore barrel. Improves accuracy (cluster of shots) on full auto guns.
