There seems to be a lot of confusion as to what gun to buy within your price range, so instead of asking again and again here is a breakdown of guns to buy in pricing brackets.
0-$50
save your money. There are a lot of spring guns that you can get with a little dough, but as soon as someone you know gets and AEG the party is over.
$50-100
There are a few GBBs to be had in this price range but very few AEGs that are worth getting.
$100-150
M4 type and MP5 type: Classic army sportline series guns. They are similar to the original TM style weapons, with plastic bodies but metal internals.
Ak type: I would take a Dboys "kalash" AK over a cyma but with shipping it would put you edging into the next price bracket.
Pistol: most gbb guns fall in this price range.
$150-200
M4, MP5 and AK type: Echo 1 series guns. Metal bodies, metal gearboxes.
$200-300
This would be the begining of the "high-end" area, CA, TM, G&G etc... with this amount of cash you can usually scoop up some good used guns from the higher brackets.
$300-500
CA m15a4, SCAR-L most online stores have prices in this bracket.
Full range of guns, there are few that you wouldn't be able to afford.
$500+
CA M249
TH M240
M134
But who would want any of these?? :mrgreen:
Remember that you don't have to spend a lot on a gun to enter the sport, but there is more than just a decent AEG required for local play.
These are a necessity not a suggestion!
Camelbak $30-100
BDU set $50-70
Radio $25-100
Good outdoor shoes $30-100
Spare mags $20-30
BBs $10-20
