I def want to get a high quality AEG, I was looking at the classic army M15(M4), as I said...I def want an M4 gun, M4 commando specifically...CQB stock, regular handgrips...

I have an authentic AimPoint scope I am gonna put on it, and send it to this place to get desert camo painted on the stock and grips like in black hawk down...the rest of the mods i can do myself

UHC MP5 SD3 is supposed to be the best entry level springer on the market. You can get it for ~$40-$50. I have it and it is VERY accurate. Install a scope and it's really fun to shoot. Comes with detachable silencer and retractable butt. Go to any of the good airsoft forums and ALL of them would tell you to either go with a good springer, a good gas gun that shoots fast (USP), or save up for a QUALITY AEG.

I rasie my question again...is that MP5 fully automatic?

No, it's definitely not automatic. The only ones that are automatic are gas and AEGs (Auto Electric Guns). Spend at least $200 for a quality AEG. Anything less and you're going to get screwed or end up with a high end, but low powered, boy's model (3/4 the scale and soft-hitting).

CA and Tokyo Marui are a couple of the best, but I've heard that EVERYONE has an M4 variant. It's simply very commonplace. I myself would get a Marui Steyr Aug. Bullpup, so it's good for close quarters battle, but even though the gun is shorter than the M4, the barrel is actually LONGER due to the bullpup design, so it's more accurate and a favorite of people who play the role of marksman. Plus it's easily upgradable. ~$300 though.

recoil is almost non existant. so i'd say...no

paintball hurts worse, in my opinion

i frequent www.airsoftextreme.com often. you can get your stuff upgraded tehre before you get your order. :D

I have a spring action Barret that i bought from Jungletoy a while back. Me and my bro got 2, so sometimes we like to make a little field in the backyard with flipped over tables and stuff. :p

One time we even had missions, like rescuing the hostage from the garage. The hostage was my neighbor... let's not get into that. ;)

I buy all classic Army guns because of the realistic feel. TM makes a good gun but they are all plastic and in turn are very light. Both my CA Mp5 and M15 are rather heavy seeing they are both made of metal. If you looking for a place in the states for a gun check out http://www.21stcenturyairsoft.com/ and just tell them Bishop or Jason sent you. They will upgrade the gun for you as well before shipping it out. And by going with these guys you won?t have to fight customs

the springers don't hurt at all. one layer of clothing and you won't know you got hit.

I'm going to get one, well one for right now but I still can't decide which one to get first. The HK G3, M4, or the MP5. Of course these will be the all metal electric ones.

Oh, for chrissakes. STFU.

QFT

violence is human...

Humans are intelligent enough to evolve to nullify violence. Some people seem to be against that ideal however, and instead throw fuel into a hopefully dying fire. We must promote peace in this world, not introduce weapons and devices with the intent of killing. We must be harmonious and positive thinking.

what? are you like 13 or something? you cant be for real.

Just ignore him, he seems to have confused humans with care bears.

This thread lacks sarcasm meters

Yes, , a springer.45 Colt, and a be4retta .9mm springer that came with a target trap.
Thats eassential, imo. The targets you can make, but the trap is necessary and cool.

So what happens when you get pulled over with one of these and they see a automatic looking rifle in the front seat?

You'd have to be a complete idiot to leave your airsoft gun in your front seat uncovered.

i hope you'd get your gun confiscated, becuase you don't deserve to own an airsoft gun.

keep your gun in gun bags and in your trunk. Use common sense!

Don't get the g3 =). And only get TM guns, I've heard bad things about ECS breaking alot. I myself own a TM M9 Gas =). I've had it for a year and its still shooting as strong as ever. (Yeah it hurts)
