first purchase woes

[TCLP]

The NBB Socom that Darklen has is ridiculous it is scary when its silenced. You could be five feet away and not hear it. And also like Darklen said research thats why in the end I went with a p90 I found the things I would need to make a functional kit with it. Back to the point though, if you like a gun sometimes performence isnt what is what your looking for and its about how you think the gun grows on you. my 2 cents thats all.

I have to second that, SockMonkey, at a local game, picked me off with his MK23 NBB, had the silencer on it, he was about......6ft away I'd guess, didnt even hear the shots fired, just felt the bb's impact.

For sure a well worthy sidearm, you may notice, unlike the rest of gbb/ect, on retailers websites it doesnt have a ton of replacement parts for it, meaning IT DOESNT BREAK!

Just be sure to lube up your magazines with silicone oil when using propane aka green gas. It will keep your seals in your magazine squishy so they dont crack or dry out, so you wont get magazine leakage.

Thats about all you really need to know about that.

Oh on top of that, if you want a truely evil pistol, get the 200mm tightbore for the MK23 NBB and high flow valves for your magazine.

My first purchace will probably be the TM M3 Super 90. It's cheap and cost effective. This saves me money by not having to buy a charger or battery. My second gun will be a AEG of course.
Not only am I getting the Super 90 for the price but it will teach me to pick my shots and not "newb spray". It will also help me to learn how to be tactical when under fire.

Plus.. I love shotguns and I am big enough to use them.

Keep in mind those things have a certain "design flaw" after a while that a stray BB won't make it into the breech, and will jam in between the tri-nozzle and deform them if you ram it forward hard enough or frequently. Net result, might only get two BBs coming out, might get three with one not going as far as the other two............. worst is it won't go full forward into battery, and there is no easy fix considering the gun is difficult to take apart, and preventing the stray BB jamming in the tri-nozzle isn't avoidable (like I said, design flaw). I worked on a team mates M3 and fixed it (was only shooting 2 BBs per shot), got it to fire three shots for a few hundred shots, then the problem happened again. Got it to shoot another hundred shots or so, then all thre hop up rubbers went, causing the BBs to roll out the barrels right after you cocked it. It's a permanent wall hanger now. Some people either get lemons, or there are tricks to learn to keep the shotty running all the time without problems. I can't say what works to extend the life of the gun.

I also thought about buying a Super 90 but the nozzle breaks often from what I've heard and the tri-nozzle isn't available as a replacment part.

you should save a bit more and buy a TM AEG

Looking to buy a TM Desert Eagle when I turn 18 in five months. Can anybody tell me a way I could test-fire one? I'd like to know what I'm in for when I pull the trigger on my first gun.

well if there is an airsoft arena/range near your area im pretty sure with parental consent you can go an test fire guns paying per mag, thats how it is at the arena in winnipeg

If your planning on getting a GBB for your first gun, I assume your not going to be gaming for a wile. If thats the case I wouldnt go for a NBB, theyre no fun to shoot! TM's latest three pistols seem to be the cream of the airsoft pistol crop. Hicapa (5.1 and 4.3), P226r and the latest 1911 all operate on the same general system and offer outstanding proformance and feel. I would stay away from WA for a first gun... too pretty and too expensive. KSC makes some great guns aswell, the G19 is the worlds best selling pistol at the moment. On the other hand, the only time I've heard of the KSC Mk23's is when they brake...

As for the TM shotties, buy new and it will last you more than long enough for you to 'outgrow' it. They have great accuracy aswell

I personally would also stay away from WE guns. Three friends of mine all bought High cappas and Dragons made by WE and they all broke( the hammer won't cock and the bb feeder broke).

I run with a TM Tac Master Beretta and I am happy with it. If you want a good NBB hand gun go with the SOCOM. Personally I don't like the SOCOM cause it feels cheapy plasticy and it's too big but don't get me wrong it's a good gun for the price around 250 and you get around 150 shots out of 1 mag fill with most NBB guns.
Most people say that with a plastic slide on a GBB running propane you run a risk of breaking the gun slide which is true so be careful and run duster
( R134a )if you can't afford the high cost of major maintenance.

Your best bet is to check the shops when you are of age. I don't recomend buying a used first gun cause you may not know what to look for broken and such. And if it does break it might discourage you in any way.

Just my 2 and a half cents bud.
HAPPY SHOOTING!!!!
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
