my dad didn't even consider the AK, anything under 100 dollars?
Get your own bank account?
Mow some Lawns? Walk the neighbors dog? Wash a neighbors car? Find a job? Cash in spare change? (which reminds me I should do that, probably have at least $100 worth of coins)

Sell yoursel.. i mean sell your stuff.
[QUOTE=TheChantzGuy;19826566] also, all the american rifles cost alot :crying:[/QUOTE] HA! Come to Canada. That $100 AK there costs $300-$350 here. Suck it up and save. DON'T CHEAP OUT. Airsoft is the last thing you want to cheap out on.

No.. Last I checked on ASC it was right around there.
I bought a JG AUG, and I'm wondering if I made a good purchase? [url]http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?products_id=2195[/url]
[QUOTE=Stupideye;19836067]No.. Last I checked on ASC it was right around there.[/QUOTE] [url]https://www.buyairsoft.ca/rifles/electric/ak-47-od-green.html[/url] It's a rebrand of the CM028 if I'm not mistaken.
Asking if a gun is good after buying it is a good idea =P From what I know its a pretty solid gun, someone I play with has one and he hasn't had any problems. @dudder: They are similar to the CM028 but not nearly as good as it (lower end gearbox innards, very cheap exterior).
[QUOTE=Nick99;19822380]I'm sorry but any gun under $100 will stop working after a few days. I would really suggest you either save up money and get a nice AEG(being cheap with a gun will simply waste your money. Sure it will only be $40 or $50 but then after a week of target practice or one game it will break and it will end up being a waste of money) or get a pump shotgun. Spring ones(dunno if they make any other kind) are usually cheap(got mine for about $60) and works well.[/QUOTE] My JG 552 was under $100. It's currently one of the best working amongst my close friends. The others were some high-brand AK, an M4 and a G36. The crappy ones were a JLS F2000 and some $150 full metal M4 (fault of the owner I think). [QUOTE=TheChantzGuy;19826080]I was thinking it was an LPEG, but my emphasis was on cheap. I'm just using the cheap gun as a gateway to airsofting. I don't have much money right now and want to get into airsoft as soon as possible. After I get into it and find it like it, I will spend a good deal of money on a high quality gun.[/QUOTE] To pretty much summarize everything, Airsoft isn't a cheap sport. If you decide to just try it out before spending, I would rather you rent or borrow so you can achieve full satisfaction of our hobby. If you decide to go cheap and buy a shitty gun, you most likely won't like Airsoft as much. Amongst everybody here in this forum, I have probably spent the least. My total clocks up to 10,000 PHP or roughly a bit more than $200. That's about as much as Timebomb or Ender have spent on ONE GUN. Trust us on this when we say DON'T GO CHEAP. Save up a bit more or rent. EDIT: Actually my gun was marginally less than $100. If you round the actual value up, it would reach that.
Yeah most people in airsoft spend quite a bit of money. I've spent $1000 to $2000 I'd say but airsoft here is much more expensive.
[QUOTE=TheChantzGuy;19826698]my dad didn't even consider the AK, anything under 100 dollars?[/QUOTE] I'm sorry but one day playing with your cheap gun you will horribly regret it.
[QUOTE=Stupideye;19841693]Yeah most people in airsoft spend quite a bit of money. I've spent $1000 to $2000 I'd say but airsoft here is much more expensive.[/QUOTE] I have spent about 350$ on airsoft, and I don't have my first loadout done, tiger stripe bdu and marpat vest and other shit, it works really well where I live.
I've decided to go with the CYMA CMO22 AK47 should i get automatic or spring?
[QUOTE=TheChantzGuy;19850576]I've decided to go with the CYMA CMO22 AK47. [editline]12:42AM[/editline] p.s should i go with the spring, or electric version?[/QUOTE] [img]http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/6760/superfacepalm.jpg[/img]
[QUOTE=dudder;19850767][img]http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/6760/superfacepalm.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] oh god, what now?
I don't think it'd be a good gun

I'm telling you Chantz, you WILL regret a cheap gun. Unless you are getting the gun for target practice. In which it will still break within a week
How about we all just ignore Chantz?
[QUOTE=Kawaii;19851095]How about we all just ignore Chantz?[/QUOTE] No. This is a thread for noobs to get information from so they don't fuck up, don't make this a "we turn our noses up at you because you have no idea what to get" thread.
[QUOTE=DarkSamus;19851144]No.[/QUOTE] you get a heart. also, wtf is a tri shot?

Tri shot meaning 3 barrels I believe. That means it shoots 3 BB's at a time, like a shotgun spray. Except 3 BB's. [editline]08:15PM[/editline] I would seriously save up to get an average AEG. The Echo 1 G36c isn't that expensive and works great. Or you can try an AEP. I think they are fairly cheap.
Just stop being a cheap-ass and get something half decent.
[QUOTE=Stupideye;19851500]Just stop being a cheap-ass and get something half decent.[/QUOTE] This is basically every answer you will get. And this is how you do NOT fail at airsoft.
How about I get a high quality full metal handgun, then after I start playing i'll just buy an old good quality gun off a friend for cheap. can someone find one for me plz? gotta walk my doggy
