:h: Cadpat
I've never really looked around for any camo, but this summer I'm gonna be going to a big surplus store. I'm gonna see if they have any Cadpat. They might carry it, as my friends have been up there and one of the guys who works there said that they carry pretty much everything but German camo.
Well shit.. I read it was illegal to sell the military spec versions but I thought there would be at least a civilian version somewhere..
I'm pretty sure there are civilian versions. I was reading something about different pockets on them and such.

Not sure where these guys are based, but I think that's what I was looking at before.
Or join the CF.

Alright I am about to order [url]http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?products_id=2659[/url] but I need to know what else I should add to the order. Things like a gun bag maybe, and some extra mags? Also what smart charger should I get and stuff like that.
I wouldn't get the player package thing. [url=http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?cPath=27_46&products_id=2918]Get a nice Intellect battery[/url] and don't get crappy .20 BBs, [url=http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?cPath=27_44_193&products_id=53]get AE .25s[/url].
You definitely want a gunbag, choose the right size for you. I'd buy a larger gun bag so you don't need to buy a bigger one later.
Damnit, I remember seeing this website that had Multicam, Cadpat, and tons of other patterns all for $80 a set. And it was all licensed too!

I can't find the one that is just the gun
[editline]03:04PM[/editline]
Actually I just found it
[url]http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?cPath=139_24_107&products_id=2651[/url]
Apparently it is out of stock, but the same gun with extra stuff is still in stock.. Maybe they forgot to change the package deal to be out of stock too?
[editline]03:05PM[/editline]
Also I still need .20 bbs because the CQB place near where I live only allows them or some shit like that.. But I could get the .25s for outdoor use.
Thanks for the M4 tips, I think I'll just play a few more games, or try that sandpaper stuff.
Also, should I save up and buy an M203 first, or invest in a sidearm?

An M203 has more utility IMO, but its probably going to be significantly pricier.

But, that's not including shells or gas.
Why would you need a quick-detach grenade launcher?
And shells are going to be the most expensive part, either a bunch of low BB count grenades or a few high ones, either way you're going to need places to hold them.
Don't use .12's in grenades.
Even if you think it is a good idea.

What you gain in paying for the product, you lose in shipping. Money-wise that is.
From what I've heard underbarrel grenade launchers are pretty useless. Although they look pretty slick.

From what I've heard sidearms are pretty useless. Although they look pretty slick.
There are exceptions to both.

Sidearm is good if your gun shoots fairly hot. I dunno how effective a grenade launcher would be as I haven't had a chance to use mine yet.

True. I just heard that the range and spread on them isn't very good. Again, similar things could be said about sidearms so I guess you are right.

Hmm when i thought of a Airsoft M203 now i think of BFBC2's 40MM Shotgun.
Bonus Interview about Echo 1
"Question of Rebranding rumor"
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9qjuvNN_40[/media]
TL:DR: According to them they just get the manufactures to manufacture parts then build up the gun, Mostly In China for the price
Also Echo 1 might make flashlights and scopes, also might make gear with "Jtech"? help.
Sidearms are great. Especially in CQB.
In fact my field hosts side arm only games at least twice a day.
I play with a lot of new airsofters at the field I go to, so I think just whipping the thing out around a corner will scare them to death. Also, where can I find a rail that can attach to those holes that let out excess heat on my M4's handguard? I know they're on ASGI, but I'm unsure of the section.
The only thing I use in CQB is my Glock and I'm probably just as effective if not more with it then with any of my rifles.
Shotguns in CQB are fun as hell.
Okay, so I've done a lot of research on this but I still want some more first hand opinions on this matter.

I have the Echo 1 and I want to know if I should sell it for the G&G. Will it be much better, internally speaking?
Broken links. Yes, I believe that the G&G would be much better internally.
Here we go, this is what I will be ordering (Complete order stuffs) Please tell me if this is all compatible and such.. Would be very sad indeed if I ordered things that didn't work together.. Also if I am missing anything that is rather essential..

Charger: I have no clue what charger to get.. One that doesn't require me to pay attention too much would be preferable.
BBs: Again, not sure here, but the gun I am buying comes with a bag of .2s which are what I need for CQB where I live..
Accessories:
Thinking about getting a red dot sight, with a carry handle rail, but I am still on the fence about this and can do it at a later date instead of just this initial order of things that are required for the gun to operate correctly.
So yeah, things I need help with are the charger, and possibly the bbs since I don't know if the ones that ASGI are going to package with the gun are high quality.
Also, long post.
For a charger you want a smart charger. They stop charging when they are done and don't require you to watch it. They are also fast.
For BB's these are great: [url]http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?cPath=27_44_191&products_id=52[/url]

Well, when I was typing "Botach tacti" in google the first suggestion apart from it just completing the word tactical (while I was still typing it.) was "botach tactical scam".
