What does ender's gun look like?
And again, Echo 1 stag arms M4 was the one my friend got it and it is a great gun. Just a tad bit pricy.
I believe he's talking about this:

And if you want to make a M4 that looks like his, just ask him for a parts list.

Are sidearms even that important?
I love using my pistol in CQB. I prefer it over my '74un. Probably the best pistols you can get are Tokyo Marui HiCapa's or KSC/KWA Glocks. I've heard mixed reviews about WE guns but I can't speak from personal experience.
TM is way too expensive for me.
I'd save up if I were you. They are well worth it. Extremely reliable and very upgradeable.
My old HiCapa

Parts list for my M4
-CA M15A4 URX (URX rail system is hard to come by as an aftermarket part, only a couple of companies make them, don't expect them to be cheap)
-Magpul MOE Stock (DE)
-Magpul MOE Grip (DE, not pictured)
-ERGO rail panels (DE)
-CA Vertical grip
-ACM PEQ-15 battery box (DE). Recently replaced with a VFC PEQ-15 Laser/Light (Black)
-ACM EOTech 552
-Magpul PTS PMAG Midcap (DE)
-Fenix TA20? Tac light
TM isn't that expensive in the GBB world, they're like the middle, and hands down the most reliable out of the box.
TM is worth it. I had to send in my KWA G18C to be fixed a few years after use, but my 3 TM GBB's haven't failed me yet. Plus having a pistol plus a Serpa holster for CQB is a great thing to have. For outdoors though, you don't really need a pistol, it becomes more of a last stand tool at that point.
Well their 1911 is $165 I guess. Still, that's more than the rifle I plan to buy.
Remember, airsoft is not the sport to cheap out on. You will end up buying many cheap guns and having them all break, then buy more cheap guns. If you just buy one good gun, it will last you much longer.
Yeah, i've bought cheap ass guns before. The most expensive of which was this M1928 springer that just fucked up beyond belief after a year or so. But I won't make any mistake like that again.
Even I have collected some cheap clone guns, but now I'm selling them. They each have their own little problems, such as the quality of their build materials. I'm sticking with just my high end guns for now (which strangely is 5 different CA rifles, no other brands). I have to admit I've never really regretted buying any of my CA's, they just work.
Example of some issues with clone guns that can be fixed for cents but are a bother.
Bar10 magazines sometimes don't click into place and cause misfeeds. Can be fixed with some scotch tape on the side to give it a better fit
I've bought many cheap guns before having my higher end guns. I'm sticking with TM, KSC/KWA and (especially) G&G now :D
[QUOTE=Domis;19661077]^ NO! ^
I realised now, that i should get M4 first even if i like AK's more. Im too lazy to write reasons why, and i think you don't care about that.
And also, decided to get regular M4, not S-SYSTEM. Because i think that it's easier turn regular M4 to xXEnder007Xx like M4. I love how that gun looks!
Please tell me how to make my airsoft dreams come true lol.
P.S. First im gonna buy M4, only later these cool external things.[/QUOTE]
Get the AGM full metal m4-a1
It comes with a ni-hm battery so you don't have to buy one later if you don't want too.
Then downgrade it from 430 fps.
Hey guys I'm considering a modified Cybergun Famas, can anyone tell me anything about it?
[quote]Cybergun FAMA's F1 2009 still in new condition
includes a Rail for Reflex scope, 2x replacement BAX hop up rubber and battery
Also has all accessories. and bag of .25gbb.
[IMG]http://www.pyramydair.com/images/FAMAS-CG400902.jpg[/IMG][/quote]Costs R1400ish, which is about $180. Apparently it shoots pretty well.
If it is rubbish, can anyone recommend me a better gun? Budget is the same at around $200 or so. Preferably a DMR or support weapon and no M4/M14.
Oh yes, and I live in South Africa. No real FPS limit or anything. Also not airsoft GI or GunnerAirsoft since they don't ship here.
Agm's or D-boy's scar-l
Because they are sexy.
I hope I don't get beaten into the ground for this, in my opinion, Scars are pretty ugly guns.

Yeah I'll agree with that, even though I own one lol. Not the nicest looking gun out there, but it gets the job done moderately well.
Also I'm considering the Army L85, anyone have that?

I'm looking for a good versatile gun, because we play on two big fields, one is dense bush with lots of trees and shit. The other is a sort of open grassy/bushy/hilly type place.
a bullpup is a good choice for that

Tokyo Marui FAMAS [url=http://redwolfairsoft.com/redwolf/airsoft/ProductDetail?prodID=8925]SV[/url] or [url=http://redwolfairsoft.com/redwolf/airsoft/ProductDetail?prodID=8924]F1[/url]. Extremely reliable gun. I've had mine for almost two years now as a beater gun, haven't cleaned it once and has even had shitty .12 yellow bb's run though it and it still shoots like new. The exteriors are also quite solid, a little bit creaky but some tape can fix that. I have a two part review on it if you want to hear more.

I bought that, personally, I would've gotten a different gun. My experiences, though they may be skewed, because mine came with a flaw, and might have others that affect the performance, were that it was only useful at shorter ranges. Mine's accuracy was off, it basically covered a big area, so it would be great for spray and pray, but not accurate longer ranges. Externally, it looks great. It's heavy (if you like that) and is comprised of mostly metal with a plastic handguard and grip (sadly, the plastic isn't the best quality).
If you're looking for an L85, this seems to be the only one for around that price, but if you don't care either way, I recommend looking for something else.
Once again, my opinion could be wrong, I may have gotten a lemon. It already showed several problems (when it came, it didn't shoot, and made a really horrible screeching sound, I sent it back and they 'fixed' it. The semi auto is also buggy, after 4 or 5 shots, it tends to stop firing, and you have to switch to full auto, shoot a shot, then switch back.)
Ah well, I can ask the guy who sells the stuff to test it and tell me the results, he usually tests the accuracy and stuff before sending it out.
No, this:

:monocle:
Did you? Well it shoots [I]way[/I] too hot for most fields as a rifle. You'll need to downgrade the spring for one, possibly buy new sights, a foregrip since it's apparently incredibly front heavy. A few AUG mags.
Otherwise looks like a good buy.
