Yeah I read about that, is there some nice quality surplus or fakes?
[QUOTE=Stupideye;21869759]I don't know where I would get it, I guess I could ask around. Its not like they just give people BDU's for free unless you join the CF but then you have to give them your soul.[/QUOTE] I got CADPAT during my trip to Toronto with minimal difficulty. Lots of surplus stores sell the stuff.
I might look around for some up there, there's a possibility I'll be taking a trip up there.
I'll ask around a bit.

I would do the local transaction. He's within 20 miles of me, so $185 as apposed to $200.
I say go for it! I wish I had that deal.
Sounds pretty good. Even stock TM Hicapa's are awesome out of the box.
Has anyone gotten a chance to try out the AGM M4 GBB? They seem pretty cool but just need a more stable magazine. Anyway, does anyone have anything to say about it?

[QUOTE=facepuke;21861840]Unfortunately, No.[/QUOTE] So do you like IBAs or MTVs? LWHs or MICHs? Marpat or flightsuit? Or do you want the cheapest(least expensive i mean) option for everything?

With the amount of upgrades you need put into to maintain it, no less make it skirmishable, you'd be better off with some other WA based GBBR or the WE.

One of my friends on tnairsoft.com keeps talking about how amazing it. Anyone here have one that would like to share some information?
[QUOTE=azndude;21903113]Like maybe the WE Scar-L (green gas)? One of my friends on tnairsoft.com keeps talking about how amazing it. Anyone here have one that would like to share some information?[/QUOTE] The WE SCAR-L is nice, but to have enough mags to make it skirmishable gets expensive. A lot of people in my area bought them and then decided it wasn't for them and put them up for sale. My friend had one for a few weeks and now is trying to sell it off. Just doesn't have the money to make it a practical weapon for him.

You can add the same stuff I suggested before too.

The gun ban here ends in a few weeks so I think I'll celebrate by buying something. So should I get a sniper rifle, holographic sight, or red-dot?
This a good idea? 1. [url]http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?cPath=139_181&products_id=3788[/url] 2. [url]http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?products_id=4882[/url] x2 maybe I want a casual gun that forces me to think more stealthily and this looks like it. Anyone know what the range is? I'm hoping the range is at least 50 ft.
Shot gun. CQB nuff said
Exactly, I want to get into CQB and I thought this would be a good start.
good plan.

Not too sure about 50, but from my own use I know my shotgun's good out to 35~40.
Yeah I wanted the M1014 and they have it at Evike but I like ASGI more. Either way, gonna be my next purchase.
I bought mine from Evike and had no problems. Also the shells you have listed said they only hold 14 bbs each, while most others hold 30 bbs. You would get 5 shots before you had to reload, while with the standards you could get 10 shots off. Trust me, 10 shots goes insanely fast. Even 6 shells can go fast. Evike had a set of 6, 30rd shells for $14, but looks like they're sold out til late June. I bought these for my DE M1014 and they work fine. [url]http://www.airsoftpost.com/product_info.php?cPath=23_569&products_id=29205[/url]
Well, maybe when those come in i'll get the M1014 from Evike.
I hate the colored shells pack, I really wish there was a cheap 30rd pack of red shells with 6 ones like the colors but in ONLY ONE COLOR
[QUOTE=BlueSaint;21995935]I hate the colored shells pack, I really wish there was a cheap 30rd pack of red shells with 6 ones like the colors but in ONLY ONE COLOR[/QUOTE] Spraypaint, man, spraypaint.
[QUOTE=BlueSaint;21995935]I hate the colored shells pack, I really wish there was a cheap 30rd pack of red shells with 6 ones like the colors but in ONLY ONE COLOR[/QUOTE] One advantage of having colored shells is you can put different weight bbs in them and tell the difference. Say you want your standard spread, you use the .20g shell. Want a tighter group? Toss in a shell of .25g's. Personally I haven't done this, but it's something I'll be trying out next game.

You have to have a lot of them to make this really effective, or just use more of one weight than the other, but awesome idea.

Don't know about heavier, decided to stick with .20s.
Anybody gonna answer my question?
