Another Which Gun Post...

[k2x5]

Sorry all about this being another 'Which Gun Should I get' Post, however I think you'll all like this one. I happen to understand that there are a lot of people out there who know a lot more than I do, and so your opinions will actually influence my choice of purchases.

First off, let me say that I have never owned an airsoft rifle, or a gun of any kind. I do not yet know exactly what I will be using it for. I would love to get involved in airsoft games, and groups but I'd like to learn more about the weapons, and get some experience handling one before I get into that.

Now on to the actual questions:

To start with, I'd like a rifle for practice on my own, which should have fair accuracy, and range but be compact enough for maneuvering around and through forested areas, and the like. (I live on a very large piece of land, surrounded by forest in the middle of nowhere) I'd like to have something though that I can later take out to games if I decide to get into it.

My initial ideas are: (In no particular order)
- Tokyo Marui M16 A2
- Tokyo Marui M733 Commando
- Tokyo Marui M4A1 S - System
- Tokyo Marui M4A1 RIS
- Tokyo Marui SIG 552
- Tokyo Marui G36c

I originally thought of mounting a scope on the rifle for better accuracy at distance.
Do any of these rifles require a scope?
Can they even hit targets at a range that makes a scope feasible?
And what range can they actually hit accurately?

As for the pistol, I was thinking:
- Tokyo Marui Glock 26
or
- Tokyo Marui Beretta M92F Military

But, as I said before I do not know very much about them.

I've been reading every review of every gun I can find but I'd like to hear what people think about the guns I've mentioned, and what people think the best choice is given the description of my intentions.

Anyway, back to the

None of these rifles require a scope to start off with, you can use the iron sights on them no problem. RDS (red dot scope) scopes might be helpful for quicker target aquisition, but most of the time its just some cosmetic accessory for your gun, and more $$ in it. With the range that most stock aeg's get, getting a zoomed scope isnt really practical, since seriously now, we aren't talking about real guns anyway. But for your information, most just shoot roughtly around 150-200 feet

As for playing in your own land, I'm not quite sure about that, there were many ppl here before you that had their ''own large private field" and have been responded back with much negativity. *someone else can elaborate more on this

Also you should go out to a local game or something first to get the feel of the game, hold ppls guns, test firing etc
You live in Ontario and I believe theres a good number of fields over there, familiarize yourself with the tool bar on this site then you'll know what I'm talking about :wink:

i am with him on that vote. i love mine to death and no matter what it can be a sniper/support gun.

we have a G3SGI on our team as a backup gun, but really, wouldnt touch one without being full metal. big, long and plastic. very creaky.

IMHO, grab a G36
V3 internals(better then any M14/M4/G3SG1/MP5 internals)
solid(unlike any M14/M4/G3SG1)
full rifle, but folding stock makes it compact

or a G&P version of the Armalites because they come with metal bodies(TM guns dont, and they NEED them, and they cost a F&CK load)

[Greylocks]

Of the models you quoted, the G36 is the most up to date and best built.

Do NOT play on private land, even if it's yours. Go to a game first, before you buy anything. Meet people, see what is used, etc.

Then, and only then, you'll have all the needed information to make a smart decision.

Hi all,

Just out of curiosity, why is it bad to play on My own Private Land? Well, let me rephrase that, as I wouldn't be playing, or practicing, just target shooting really. Is that still a bad idea, or is it just bad if you get a group together on Private land?

Also, I think I've decided to get a TM G36c, but I want to go to a game the next time one's close to me so hopefully someone will let me try one out.

Thanks all, for your answers.

well, what kind of private land are we talking about? if it's a semi detached in downtown toronto... Hella no, metro will send the ETF to your place in record time.

But if it's a large 10 acre plot with treelines covering 3 sides of the property up in Kirkland Lake, then you probably won't have any troubles unless the neighbors see you.

Obviously too little information...

I just bought a new house, on 30 acres of land. It's entirely treed forest, and completely secluded. The only way you could actually see the area would be to drive all the way down the 150' driveway.

Whatever gun you buy, look around and see if any other company makes it. If so, it will most likely be full metal from them. Avoid TM unless they are the only company that makes it. Buying a TM gun is just setting yourself up for spending hundreds if not thousands of dollars in upgrades and metal parts that you can get out of the box from other companies.
