I'm pertty new to airsoft myself... I recently got a g3sg1 for Christmas (I want to put in a review for it soon too). As far as choosing an airsoft gun goes the foremost thing I can stress is how it looks, e.g. do you like its color, basic shape, ect. . The other things you should consider is how you think you would like to play (I don't know if you have used spring powered or otherwise before). If you like to spray and pray or you like having an accurate gun. Where you will play makes a difference too. If you play in your backyard, most of the time with your friends, then think about a close quarters combat weapon such as the mp5-X (X where the a5, sd3, and so on would go) or maybe a p90, although I haven't handled one yet. If you like to snipe or get somewhere in between you might want to consider the ak-47 or m16 series. These guns I recommend for beginners. When I started playing I started wanting to adjust my playing style too, go with something that is versitile and fits your playing needs. Look at one in your local airsoft/ paintball shop. Feel them, see if you like how it rests in your hands. Do you like how it is ballanced? Think about how you would hold it when ducking under a log or bush to take cover from a hail of enemy fire. Consider stealth as a factor. We all know that the best way to get a kill is to shoot somebody else in the back (maybe its the wrong way but it is still the easiest)
. Then look at price, there are plenty of sites out there that will sell you stuff that isn't what you wanted. Stay near professional sites that have stocked invintories and a good reputation. Make sure they have lots of guns too, so you know that they actually sell airsoft guns exclusively and know about them. Small shops with limited selections usually sell you cheap off brand guns that don't preform adequately. Really it's all up to what you want.
