suggestions are welcomed, I'm still up in the air about my gun, I'd prefer not to have an AR but if it seems nice I will consider it
All good choices, don't buy from airsoftmegastore.

Is it like Evike and Airsplat?
Evike? I didn't know Evike was bad, well I always considered it this;
Evike is good if you know exactly what you want/need already and they sell it where ASGI may not or it's cheaper. Otherwise you shouldn't trust what they say or offer.
Evike isn't bad anymore, they just have late shipping most of the time. Airsplat is bad all around however.
okay so evike is safe now.
I just want to get my gun a little cheaper, since I really don't have a lot of money. 140 dollars max probably.
so what's wrong with asms?
I need a rail mounted flashlight. I have 50 dollars.

Extremely shady dealing, lackluster customer service, faked "original" prices. etc.
Evike is a last resort, always check Airsoftgi first.

1.Put a small, bright, LED flashlight (Surefire clones are good) in a scope ring.
2. Mount scope ring to rail
3. Profit.

Save up a bit more. LED tac lights are the way to go. The one you linked to has no real information on it. The one in this link says it has an output of 200 lumens, around the same level as mine and it's good enough to leave fuzzy spots in your eyes with just a quick burst.

I wouldn't say profit, but that's normally the best way to mount these lights. All of mine are attached in the same fashion, or with a shitload of e-tape.

When does airsoftgi restock?
[QUOTE=Dark Descent;22592915]When does airsoftgi restock?[/QUOTE]
Depends on when the distributors decide to send the next shipment. They won't restock everything at once, normally just a certain brand at a time. What item you looking at?

[QUOTE=CodeMonkey3;22569922]
Also, question to the room. What happen to Tokyo Marui? All their guns everywhere I look are out of stock. Did they go out of business or something? I don't see any new guns either, so I don't know, maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places.[/QUOTE]
Curious.
[QUOTE=CodeMonkey3;22593169]Curious.[/QUOTE]
Nothing, they still sell quite popularly in Japan. US sites have slowed importation due to their high prices and lack of FPS, because now, if they cant say it shoots over 400 FPS in big red letters, the gun wont sell.

Lol those Japanese nubs. 400 fps is da minimum, they r stoopid. Less than 400 wont do nothing to my enemie and wont go nowhere.

If it were my buying an AK I wouldn't go for a 74U. I just don't like the way those look. I'd rather have an AKS-74 or AK-74M. Just stay away from RIS AKs though, nobody likes those.

[QUOTE=Dark Descent;22593426]show me one of those thats under 150 dollars?[/QUOTE]
If you can get another 15 bucks you can get a 74M that field strips just like a real AK and is a pretty good gun.

nice gun, i want something a little smaller though, hence the 74su.
Are you doing CQB or Field? The shorter the barrel, the less range it has is the rule of thumb.

[QUOTE=Fenriswolf;22593577]I bought that flashlight. I hope I made a smart choice :ohdear:[/QUOTE]
Flashlights are only useful in CQB because if you use a flashlight during a field game you'll be lit up instantly from several different directions.

True, but I'm going to a night game and I want to be prepared in case I need it (which I doubt).
i hope to do CQB so i want either a nice mp5 variant or that sexy ak-74su that I read Ender's review on.

Damn. Thanks for the help Ender.

I didn't mean to say "What are you doing? You're a fool."
I was just saying they're more useful for CQB. I play Field games ONLY and I have a flashlight and a mount on my vest at all times with exception.

The reason why those aren't back in stock is because there was a massive crack down in China on factories creating replica guns last year, so most of the factories got raided and had to move elsewhere. Some of them lost the molds to their guns, so it will take time for them to make new ones, or they may just spend the time and money on a new gun all together.
Pretty much what I'm saying is don't expect to see those back in stock anytime soon.

I see what you did there. Thanks mang!
Found a wood 74U for $199.99 by ICS.
