Same, but like Ancorp said, it's not easy for everyone to do.

Use it, and stop looking to be spoon fed.

I got into Airsoft during my final year of uni. It is amazing what a diet of cheap food (lay off the steak and junk food) and not drinking for the year can do for your budget. Do you really need to go to that concert, go to that club, go to to restaurant, eat out every weekend, or go into town every other day?

If you get verified and become a participating member of a local club, I am sure that you will be able to get a decent kit together for around $600. Buy a used gun, grab some used repo camo, get a used load-bearing, and you are set, look great, and can play with the best of them.

DON'T buy crapsoft. It will crap out on you, turn your playing experience to crap, and waste your money making you feel like crap. If you are budget strapped, JG or the chinese clones will work, but something reliable for slightly more is always better.

Yes. A lot has to be said for a proper budget.

Airsoft is easy, all you need is alot of money.

If you're buying a gun and it's not the gun you would really really want but you're buying it because of a tight budget then don't.

It's all about the stuff you like and think that looks cool so hold it for a little longer until you can afford that kick ass gun of yours that you want.

Best thing is of course to be age verified because you can get amazing deals in there!

get age verified. I just sold a gun for a very low price because I broke the stock of being an idiot. Maybe you'll be luckly and I'll break another one after you get verified.

Moz Do you have a review on hello kitty i am looking at buying it as bf2 is beginning to bore me(No not literaly -_-)

I know this isn't exactly "directly related" to the original topic, but it's better than making a new one.

Anyway, I think I'm in the market for an MP5A5, and I was going to go with TM, but I read a review on the earlier versions of that gun and it said that they have an external hop-up adjuster. I don't like that. So now I'm looking at the CA B&T MP5s, but first I want to know if someone can verify that the current TM MP5A4/5 models do indeed have external hop-up adjusters, or if they've been altered and now have an internal one.

It's kinda related, right? I mean, JG MP5A4 is the same as the TM one, which is what I'm asking about, right? Yay!

The 'external' part is a very practical small lever (almost invisible) that you can access to adjust the hopup without taking the gun apart. I dont understand why you would not want such a useful feature?

The MP5 series does not have a trapdoor or panel that would allow reaching the hopup like the M4/M16 series or the G3.

Well, for me, experience shows that I'll be creeping through the woods, spot a target, carefully take aim...and shoot a BB up into space, or my own toes. I agree that it's much easier than pulling and holding an awkward lever back to adjust, or, in the case of an MP5-K/PDW, actually removing an entire panel, but I'm weird like that.

Classic Army's B&T MP5 models do, I believe.
