What Should I Buy?

Postby PC » Thu Dec 16, 2010 10:29 pm

Hey yal! This is Pants and I am fairly new to AP. I have attended a few events, but rarely use the AP website by making posts and such. I am not entirely new to airsofting, but obviously I dont know everything I should. That's why I am making this post. I was curious what yal thought in general or specific about what brand of gun to buy? I am looking to buy a new gun and I wanted to know what brands are good and reliable. Please post! Thanks!

Yup

At the moment I am looking for a CQC gun for under 300 dollars. I own a VFC M4, so hopefully a gun that can use M4 magazines. That way I would not have to purchase magazines solely for that gun. However, if the gun is good and doesnt accept M4 magazines, it wouldnt be that big of a deal.

Which is more important? Looks or performance?

Well, looks are always a plus, but the performance of the gun, to me, is of main importance

I recommend something short, find that, then down grade the spring to a FPS of 330.

Most china clones will do pretty good, esp with a lower FPS spring.
