My first AEG was a JG G36C I got off of Craiglist for $300 over 2 years ago. Never had any issues with it and did some mild upgrades to the internals, practicing my gundoc trade. Great gun and its current owner still has no issues with it.

First was a tm ak47. Loved it. Did some basic upgrades. Sold it it's still in the team

Had a fa mas at the same time. Tm. Wasn't bad but creeky

Tm p90. Love it. Still have it

We scar. Piece of crap. Got rid of it. Always leaking or breaking.

TSd vsr. Not bad but too common for me.

Ares ppsh 41. Loved it but got bored of 2000 rounds of spray

Kwc desert eagle. Big and clunky. Broke lots

We dragon. Finicky and broke lots.

Area dsr-1. Love it. Accurate and godly. Version two so none of the first version issues.

Hfc Mac 11. Not bad. Wicked rate of fire. Mags are too long.

Umm I think that's it. The ak was always the most reliable. Start there.

Btw This is my third season. I get bored of guns quickly.

TM AK Beta spetz. fantastic gun. got it used. been with me for like 4 years now. still works fantastic completely stock. been trying to kill it actually. been using it as a loaner and put a lipo in it. damn thing just wont die. (looking for an excuse to buy new internals. lol.) once i can kill it it will become something ridiculous.

since then:
(not in order)
TM G36C
2 krackens
Well mp5 pdw/k
m16 taci-crap. JG i think. (became an SPR)
m16 A2 (built from spare parts i acquired)

I seriously dont see the appeal of an m4. They are like tampons. Every pussy has one . So boring and common.

qft... which is why my AK went to a team mate. don't get me wrong they are great starter guns....

personally I would prefer the AK over the m4 for a starter, all that shit you add to a m4 is just show in airsoft. I've seen people spend more on Tacticool accessories than the gun was worth. Not where noobies should be starting...

IMHO
Safety pieces first off, you can never spend enough on these items
A good starter gun, you will probably get rid of it soon, but its like your first girlfriend. You didn't really know what to do... you probably put some things in the wrong way once our twice. But you learnt, sent her to someone else, and now you have something pretty and uncommon that you're not going to bung up.
If you are in the bush get some cheap camo so you don't stick out.

Everything else after this is gravy. Unless you're using a DMR, or a sniper rifle optics really... really... really don't matter much. In fact I would bet 80% of players just "walk the rounds" onto the target.


man I am in a grumpy mood today.

interchangeability. if i have an M4 like everyone else on the team and run out of ammo i can yell "MAG!" and anyone can throw me a mag and get me back in the fight. kinda hard if im using a diff weapon system than them.

dont get me wrong. im not the biggest fan of the M series rifles. thus my odd collection including 3 AK's but it helps when you play bigger games if your unit has the same weapons system and you can do those things. besides. i dont like a whole lot of tacicrap on my gun so she'll be pretty lean as far as add-ons.

My first was a Classic Army Sportline P90. It was nothing short of crap. Glad I sold it, it externally looked really nice and I had bought a bunch of the Marui mags with visible dummy bullets...but honestly the gearbox was horrible and unreliable, as was the plastic hop-up and blue-tinted shitty inner barrel. I really don't recommend ANY sportline model; especially for newbies, they are made of cheeeaap materials. In fact this gun was so shit it almost turned me right off airsoft by thinking all airsoft guns were that shit. Not to mention that Classic Army's Sportline models are expensive for what you get..so I didn't cheap out, but I still got screwed.

I heard the new CA sportlines ( like the LWRC M6) were actually quite good, comparable to the 08 prolines.

First aeg was some cheap brand completely tinted XM8 - complete piece of crap and didn't last much more then a month... warranty got me another one which was equally as garbage.
Then I bought a CA G36C and it's lasted for at least 4 years with very minimal issues, still have it.
Also bought a TM P90 which has also been good. Only thing I had to do with it is replace the tappet plate when it broke. Also owned for several years.

My first AEG is a SRC HK416 GENII I buy it used (was a display gun at a paintball shop) was a mistake to buy it because I was like you... didnt know what to buy, I buy it because I like it ! I never game with it, but try it at my work shop and shoot like hell, but when I start having some problem it was hell to open that gun ! Now i'm buying a new baby !
