Well, that's if you decide to go the route of the GBB's. You could go NBB, but where's the fun in having a gas pistol that doesn't have the slide go back every time you pull the trigger?

thats where the "high quality" part comes in, most NBBs are bad, and usually are cheap or shoot wayyyy too hard.

I will save up for this.
[QUOTE=TheChantzGuy;19851518]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?

You're not going to get a decent gun under $100 dollars. Save up, you won't regret it.
The WE Colt 1911 is a good gun.
I believe that anything under cm0029 is useless crap.

You could definitely do [url=http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?cPath=139_24_150&products_id=5563]better for 10 dollars more.[/url]

exactly how much better? Because that gun's not really looking too cool

That will do well as a first gun.

I can tell you from first hand experience that you should generally buy CYMAs that have a number at or above 030. Both [url=http://www.facepunch.com/showpost.php?p=19617822&postcount=19]me[/url] and [url=http://www.facepunch.com/showpost.php?p=14963308&postcount=4]Ender[/url] owned this gun, and according to the review Ender put up, he loved his as much is I do.
The 028 is definitely a starter gun and it shows.
The DE UMP is the [URL=http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?cPath=139_24_150&products_id=2412]cheapest AEG[/URL] you can get on ASGI. There's also the Galaxy MP5K but it's out of stock now.
Trust me, I was like you before but I took advice and now I'm on my way to getting guns off of here that are good AEGs.
Here's how you can get 10% off on your order.

After that, you have to enter account information to create an account. Then you will be at the checkout page. I'm certain someone can take a screenshot of the checkout page and highlight the coupon code text bar?

Now THAT is a MUCH better decision for a gun. It won't be the best but a good starter. It is plastic however, so be gentle with it. I don't know about the other one...someone suggested.

[URL=http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?cPath=139_24_150&products_id=5563]You mean this one?[/URL]
Yeah, Chauntz, just follow my instructions in my last post. That $110 gun will surely be an $11 gun if you follow my instructions. You can do that with any order, I believe.

I'm going to begin giving guitar lessons to kids on my block so I can afford this champion of a gun.

You did your math wrong. it would be $99 dollars.
*ahem* You can get that gun for 10% off, you know that, right?
I feel like a broken record player.

The way you typed this made it sound like he would pay $11 for it.
[editline]01:49AM[/editline]
goddamnit automerge back at you.
I didn't do my math wrong. $110 (or $120, depending on what he's getting) times 10% is $11 or $12, respectively. Percentages use division, I believe.
[editline]08:54PM[/editline]
No, wait, they use multiplication. Rated self bad reading.

Ok, now I'm all confused. 110 times 10% is 11; 110 divided by 10% is 1100. JUst to clear this up.
I believe percent off means (order amount) times (percent off).

This, please.
Please elaborate. I suck at math.
[QUOTE=AmericanInfantry;19852488]Please elaborate. I suck at math.[/QUOTE]
If they where giving out $120 guns for $11 they would be broke. End of story.
110/10 = 11
$110 / 10% of purchase price = 110/10 = 11 = $11 off of purchase price
$110 - $11 = $99
Now stop beating the dead horse.
$110(Price of Gun) x .1(Move decimal to the left twice, as in 35% would be .35)
You get $11, which is the price you take off the total.
$110 - $11 = $99
Simple.

Oh and btw, ASGI will ALWAYS have a discount code out for 10% or greater, I placed an order and even then they gave me another 10% code (Its like "speed" or something)
Thanks, guys. I'll have to get my parents to go down to the local airsoft store and have a chat with the owner. Maybe then they'll let me play it.
I had a hard time there not flaming you, in this math related adventure, I happen to be taking math 2 grades ahead of my own.
I almost cried at the sheer failure of those posts.
