So they're Saigas?

[QUOTE=Fish Muffin;25057160]So they're Saigas?[/QUOTE] Well, if you really wanna get anal about it, it's a Saiga-12. There's also Saiga-20s, Saiga-410s, Saiga 7.62x39s, Saiga 5.56x45s, Saiga 5.45x39s, and Saiga 7.62x51s, but who's counting?

Sega

I just had to lol at all of these.

Do I actually need to buy a Smart CHarger?

Yes.

Why?

So you don't over-charge your batteries?

Ok, I was just wondering. [editline]03:03PM[/editline] And for eyewear, do you need googles, or can Shooting Glasses work?

[QUOTE=Kman1;25070353] And for eyewear, do you need googles, or can Shooting Glasses work?[/QUOTE] matter of preference, i swap between a set of bolle goggles and some ESS shooting glasses. i prefer glasses though because i always feel a bit stupid with goggles on but no helmet. also in other news if anyone remembers those "Swiss One Crackerjack" glasses are airsoft proof i took them to the game today and shot at them, they didnt break yay! now ive got a spare pair of glasses

[QUOTE=venom;25070229]So you don't over-charge your batteries?[/QUOTE] Shit, I overcharged mine. By about 12 hours.... And it lasts longer.

I overcharged mine by three and they pooped out

When I play airsoft I just charge my battery for a few hours on a trickle charger and then I borrow my friends smart charger to finish charging it.

I once over charged my battery by about 36 hours. Surprised it didnt burn the house down. It actually worked fine for about a week before the motor started to melt the plastic pistol grip and spew smoke through the heatsink at the bottom. New battery solved that issue.

I get distracted.

There has to be something more than just getting distracted.

What smart chargers do you all use actually? I should buy one myself, usually however I get to my local site early to help set up now so I usually charge it up there.

So Combat Machine, Plastica, or Ares M4 as a first AEG?

Combat machine or Plastica.

Why should I rule out the ARES?

What is the difference between the [url="http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?products_id=6284"]G&G GR-16 A2[/url] and the [url="http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?products_id=2837"]G&G GR16 A3[/url]

Basically, the A2 has a fixed carry handle (it's part of the upper) and the A3 has a rail on the top and a removeable carry handle.

Even though the A3 in real life also has a fixed carry handle. So for my next AEG it's Combat Machine M4A1 G&G Proline GR16 M4 ICS M4A1 CA M15A4 VFC E-series M4 G&P M4 SOPMOD Basically anything under $300. An AK would be fine too, I was mainly looking at M4s. [editline]08:56PM[/editline] Are the SRC XM8's any good?

[QUOTE=RenegadeSanta;25102676]Are the SRC XM8's any good?[/QUOTE] I heard they're meh. I wish a awesome airsoft company like G&G would make a XM8, I'd be on that so fast.

Same here. Does anyone have the G&G F2000 in stock?

[QUOTE=RenegadeSanta;25103098]Same here. Does anyone have the G&G F2000 in stock?[/QUOTE] Probably overseas. I've seen 2 people use those at CQB City yesterday. Fuck they're big rifles, they look big even on a guy who's roughly 5'9. Saw some small skinny kid with one too, looked like he could barely hold it, reaching really far out just to get a hold of the grip.

They're still so fun looking though.
