ok so notice that i have never played the sport...i never even touched a airsoft gun. My buddies got a couple guns and asked if i would get one ... i have been interested in it but never looked up on it.. so ive been looking but have no clue what im looking for. I dont no anything about the sport or the brand names.. sooo could someone help me???What is a good electric airsoft gun for a beginner to start off with?
In order to efficiently recommend a rifle, we need:
Max price
Area of play
Preferred designs
AEG brands, highest quality to lowest:
Systema
STAR
G%26amp;P
King Arms/KA
Guarder
ICS
KWA
Guay Guay/G%26amp;G
Classic Army/CA
Echo 1 (JG rebrander. They add metal bushings, which will prolong the life of the internals, and a warranty. Sometimes metal receivers and trademarks.)
CYMA (CM028+)
Jing Gong/JG
TSD/SRC
D-Boys
Tokyo Marui/TM (Considered to be one of the highest quality manufacturers. Overpriced, underpowered plastic due to Japanese law. You'll spend $250 on a gun, another $250 for metal receivers, and another $200 to give it the internals of a G%26amp;G.)
It could be a toss up between Echo 1 and CYMA as to who has the higher quality. As far as Kalashnikovs go, G%26amp;G and ICS are only ones that top the nicer CYMA's.
Gas Guns:
Wei-tech/WE
KWA
KJW
Marushin
TM
Western Arms/WA (Like TM x2)
WE and KWA are almost impossible to rank ahead of one another because of their quality.
Not going into sniper rifles, but ARES and Right Hook have the absolute best, then STAR.
Never buy a Double Eagle unless it's an M3L shotgun or L96 or a Well or unless it's an L96. Both Elephant's only quarter-decent (when compared to other mini electrics) gun is a mini electric (best mini electric is, though), which should be avoided at all costs. Crosman airsoft guns are junk. Their best one is the Airmag C11, which is...junk. Never buy unbranded guns, either. The only good UTG guns are their sniper rifles, Warhawk (CYMA CM028), and AK-74 (CYMA CM031). They're a rebrander, and don't make their own guns. Almost all of them are junk. Don't buy off-brand guns, either. Normally junk. Army is the best uncommon manufacturer. AEP's should be avoided, and EBB's...I don't even known why they exist. There's only one good AEP, the CYMA CM030.
For websites, stay far away from Airsplat, Hobbytron, and AirsoftMegastore. Three of the worst out there. AirsoftGI and RedWolfAirsoft are the two, in my eyes, best, then WeaponBlender and HitGuns. PyramidAir and TrinityAirsoft are good, too.
You WILL NOT find a decent AEG below $90, I don't care what you're going to use it for. An $80 AEG is going to break if you drop it twice, if it doesn't destroy it's own internals first. There's only four worth buying for under $100.
