[QUOTE=Skwee;21012478]I mean their Airsoft GI G4 series.. They are like $200+ for customized G&G plastic guns..? Although I suppose they are around the same price for just the G&G affordable series, but w/e..[/QUOTE] So your saying that paying more for a fully customized gun than you would for the base gun is wrong?
[QUOTE=Kawaii;21012592]So your saying that paying more for a fully customized gun than you would for the base gun is wrong?[/QUOTE] I never said it was wrong, I asked YOU guys if it was a good deal or if it was a rip off. I don't know shit about airsoft pricing, as I am new to airsoft myself and haven't even purchased my first gun yet.. I am doing a ton of research though... [editline]07:09AM[/editline] [url]http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?products_id=3905[/url] Hows the price on this? I am pretty sure it is what I will be getting for my side-arm. (Unrelated: Orange juice+ Mt Dew = delicious.)
Looks good. The pricing doesn't seem too bad.

In the 6 years Ive been playing airsoft, I have been in a situation where having a sidearm would have saved me maybe 4 times. Its really not worth the money unless you plan on running a very long gun that is useless in CQB or a gun that shoots hot on a field with minimum engagement distance.

I will buy my primary (Still not even sure what I will be getting for that.. I like SCARs, M4s and AKs, so I don't really know..) some extra mags, probably a red dot sight (Recommendations for that? I was looking at [url]http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?products_id=252[/url] ) and all my gear (BDU, and probably a vest.. But I really don't know what camo I want. I was thinking woodland tigerstripe, but I don't know where to buy it.) The only thing I am really worried about then if I am only getting my primary at first, is that it needs to be under 350 FPS..
Has anyone else here turned their Nerf Gun into an Airsoft gun? I did this with a few of my nerf guns to create a decent sidearm out of one of the pistols. :D

[QUOTE=Kawaii;21014131]One shot that shoots 60 feet. Amazing sidearm.[/QUOTE] For CQB it's actually serves its purpose.
Alright, I am actually pretty set on getting a SCAR.. I would prefer if it had a realistic disassembly/reassembly (spring loaded screws, all the same size and such with a built in tool and what-not..) but I am not sure who makes one like this as they usually don't even advertise that kind of stuff..
Coincidentally, I actually just bought a nerf double barreled shotgun.
I don't really want to post here, but I don't want to get flamed out of here either. Does anybody know where I could find, say, a JG Bar 10 stock? Not the entire gun, just the stock. Doesn't need to be a Bar 10 stock either. I'm thinking about converting my Tippmann 98c paintball gun into a bolt action rifle over the summer and would need a stock to lay it in. I know it isn't exactly airsoft, but I thought you guys would better know where to get one.

Okay between: [url="http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?cPath=139_24_107&products_id=2682"]G&G Full Metal PM5-A4 Airsoft Gun[/url] And [url="http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?products_id=6268"]ARES MK16-L Airsoft Gun ( TAN )[/url] What do you guys think..?

[QUOTE=DarkSamus;21018810]CQB or Field?[/QUOTE] That's the question eh.. I really want to be able to do both. I guess the SCAR would be the way to go because it could just fold the stock and do both, but then it does cost a whole lot more
[QUOTE=facepuke;21018601]The last post was 10 hours ago = not dead.[/QUOTE] I'm not going to leave, if that's what you want.

It looks alright, but the receivers do not match at all.
If I remember correctly, the real SCAR's receivers don't match either.
I recently upgraded my hop-up by putting in a new spacer and bucking. Now when I try to adjust my hop-up it gets a bit hard to spin the gears and it either goes way up or way down. I can't seem to get it to go somewhat straight. What should I do?
[QUOTE=Kawaii;21019913]I've seen the tan one in person. It looks alright, but the receivers do not match at all.[/QUOTE] I thought it looked kind of cool. But I'd get black because it matches whatever loadout you might want in the future.
Really what I am looking for is a regular sized rifle that shoots at 350 or a little lower.. Only reason I was looking at shorter weapons was because I thought they might have had a higher chance of shooting at that speed, but it seems like most people like higher speeds anyway.. Which is understandable, but I want to be doing CQB as well as field so I really just need an assault rifle that can do both.
CQB and Field.. would [url=http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?cPath=139_24_163&products_id=4480]this[/url] work out?

I saw it a few days ago but disregarded it because it had the PEQ box and the A4 was out of stock.. If anyone knows where I could get the A4 that would be great, but if they are sold out everywhere I supposed I could just get the A5. (Or maybe I could wait until they come in stock again, depending on how long of a wait that would be.)
