would i be paying a good price for this?
« on: May 01, 2006, 08:05:14 AM »
i got this price from airsoftshop.com

Tokyo marui M16A2 with battery and charger and 350 FPS upgrade: 256
silencer= 29
Delta Elite Cross Draw Vest = 50
3 point sling = 15$

which =350 Total

what else could i buy that would not cost a lot of money? and would the gun either cooler or better?

and also, should i get this gun or does marui have better ones?

personaly i like classic army over marui in terms of m4/m16 varients but for 250 with battery and charger its a good deal for a starter aeg. I would'nt buy the silencer it has no effect on aegs.  Id use the money saved from the silencer to buy a red dot scope

Where are you ordering from? I noticed you didn't account for shipping, and if its overseas, you might pay a duty tax or something like that. That stuff alone could run you $100 bucks.

Dude, honestly, TM M16a2's are shit compared to the G&G or CA M16 variants.  But if you're prepared for barrel wobble and all, its your choice.

G&G sucks. Ask anyone around here, besides StoneEagle(for some reason his G&G M14 rocks).

But, you are right about the M16A2 barrel wobble. Your best bet, if you want an A2 model is go get a Classic Army M15A2.

Yeah, they had come out with newer versions and fixed a bunch of their problems.

Well, IMO, I wouldn't be the first on the block with a gun that is a version two, just in case the shtf on the gun again. I remember my brothers, and Bens G&G had some motor problems. For that price, just save $50 more and get a CQBR. It's everything you'll need. Trust me, no joke. I mean.. I have one, Ben has one, Ian has one, Vince has one, Matt has TWO.. get the CA Cqbr.

Hey I have one too! Don't forget me!

Listen to Nate man. The CQBR is MORE than worth your money. I can't wait to see how it's kickin in a couple years, but I'd be willing to bet it'll be shooting just as well. If airsoft guns were cars, the CQBR would be the new, indusctructable, H6.

yea the TM M16A2 is an old gun, one of TM's first, not the best to tell you the truth, but looks cool if you have a reddot and an M203, but you should get a CA or the CQBR like everyone else said, its great and worth the money.

The barrel wobble problem can be fixed with a little teflon tape around the threads.

I did that with electrical tape when I had my M16A1.
