New Gun

[DRoc9990]

Aright, im new to airsoft n have 2 semi auto gas pistols.. but thats not worth braggin about.. i am lookin for a high quality AEG and not sure which way to go with deciding a model.. i wanna avoid MP5's and M16's as much as possible seeing as they are the least unique and the most well known guns out there..

I was thinking more of a CAR-15, SG-1, or even PSG-1 Sniper (or any type of AEG that is easily customizable...) but i was wondering how a sniper is in an airsoft match compared to a full auto AEG.. or if anyone has a different gun that they are particular about

also i'm selling my '04 WGP Outkast Autococker (black) if anyone's lookin for a paintball gun in great condition..pm me

Thanks- Darrec

Try the TM G36c, I've had mine for a little over a year with no problems whatsoever. There are quite a few different conversion kits available for it as well, and with the possibility of up to 4 seperate rails on it, you can slap as much shit on it you want.

It's very sturdy, it's a TM so it basically shoots the same as any other AEG out of the box, and the people I've let use it have nothing but good things to say about it.

Or if you're willing to wait. You can pick up an M14. I'd also consider choosing an mp5 or m16 varient, Since they are more popular they are cheaper, you can get parts easily. But going against the grain, I haven't seen many Sigs (cept Mitchs). All Tokyo Marui guns perform the same, so you're just going on which one looks the prettiest

Also. I've heard a lot of bad things about the Psg1 so if you're new i'd stay away from it.

[King]

Well, he said he doesn't want and Mp5 or M16 type weapon, so that leaves us the G36, the Sig 552, AKs, and G3's.

You forgot AUGs, FAMAS, The Thompson, P90s. To name a few

ha just since i want a sniper on our team, im gonna be selfish, but d-roc if u want a good aeg id say go with a spetznaz ak cause those are bad ass n wang could use some diversity

[DRoc9990]

yea that g36c is bad ass looks like u could upgrade that shiz with a blindfold.. and the Spetsnaz is pimp for an AK but im thinkin bout the SG-1 w/ a good scope.. upgradedlevel 4, & full body suit shagg camo - gettin chills thinkin bout it

thanks for the help king n damo.. keep listen new ideas.. along w/ any websites u may have used to get ur guns.. if u think they are reliable and may have wat i am lookin for.. i've looked at a few sites but none that have everything im lookin for.. and i would rather order everything at once from one or two websites..

thanks again - Darrec

statistically psg-1 ones NO MATTER WHAT IS DONE TO THEM.... do not last for more then a year. Just something to consider.

Personally i think its a nice gun but, you would be with bolt action rifle for a "sniper" position. They tend to last longer and have less mechanical promblems. Since, they are not reliant on a series of mechanical moving parts within a system.

However, i would go with a AEG of some type over a sniper. They can be more use in the long haul. Especially in some of the close quarters surroundings semia plays. You will not be able to keep within engagment limits with a sniper in close quarters surroundings.

Also when Sh*t hits the fan its better of to gave something which can bring about a full auto response.

I think King prefers www.wgcshop.com and I would adivse www.poweredgeusa.com
www.airsoftarms.com
and www.combatdepot.com (note Combatdepot is more of an accessory shop).

However I will agree with pants? PSG-1s which are pretty, most of the time will fail you. Personally if I were looking for a gun right now, it'd be an AUG or AK. They are very simplistic designs, and both are very compatible guns. The AK takes a large battery (which is ten times better than a mini. A large allows higher MaH with less space.) However if you really want a PSG-1 We aren't stopping you, just advising you not to. I think you will be happier with a TM assualt rifle.

I didn't get a change to read it all, but here are my views.

TM G36c, awesome gun (will soon own it )
TM AK Beta Spetnaz, awesome gun (own it )

The Spetnaz is a pretty heavy gun, you WILL need a sling for the longer games. I usually carry my Mp5k, and my AUG around or switch it up and I can't do it that much with my Spetnaz because it's heavy, kinda bulky.

TM PSG-1s have many problems out of the both, to name a few:
* You will need to replace the inner barrel along with hop-up because they suck
* I am pretty sure the gearbox blows and you wil need to upgrade

So stay away from it, that's what I have heard, but don't take my word for it, do some research ;D,.

Just remember, AK has the highest ammo capacity magazines. 70rnd standard (Only loosing to the AUG's standard and couple others), 150rnd midcap (best I know), 250rnd Short Hi Cap or 600rnd Banana style Hi Cap. The AK also has the highest metal content for it's body, along with it's sister(or brother) the TM AK-47. Although they both have bodies with high content of metal, this doesn't mean that they are metal.

All TM guns perform the same, it's really just a fashion show. There are some differences. Find one you really like looking at, do some research on it, if you still want it, buy it. Play around with it/skirmish with it for around a month or too and find out if you want to upgrade it and ect. Also, the 36c can be converted into the SL-9 (Sniper rifle). So get a *Stock* AEG, if you feel you can give up for Full-Auto and really do want a longer range position, then upgrade it and/or convert it into a more *sniperish* gun.

Just some food for though .

first - to pants.. wen i say SG-1 i do not mean the PSG-1 sniper.. im talking about the SG-1 AEG((much like the G3A3)) that has semi/full auto features but is known for being an accurate sniper along with the feature to save ur ass wen getting rushed..lol so its basically a smarter version of the PSG-1.. thanks for the info on the gun tho..

The SG-1 has a 70 rnd clip as well and comes with bipod stock.. i think its great choice for me because i love sniping.. which i can do wit the SG-1 and i also like to rip threw shizz every now n then so i can set it on full auto for that.. its a gun beggin to be given a scope.. and that sorta upgrade

altho i am not making my choice just yet, andrew.. ill look into that SL-9 and thanks for that comment it helped me out a lot

and thanks for the sites and all the help appreciate it.. keep input comin

I was thinking more of a CAR-15, SG-1, or even PSG-1 Sniper

PSG-1 was in your origional post. however, i see below you do mention the sg-1.

The sg-1 is the same as any old aeg. Except for barrel lengh. A extended barrel or tightened barrel does NOT make the gun much more accurate over a mp5 lengh barrel.

The SG-1 has a 70 rnd clip

MAGAZINE man... Magazine c'mon man - lol.

Any gun can be made to snip. Sniup in terms to airsoft mostly refers to a position. It is not dependent on the type of gun you have.

Ex. i could be sitting in a brush and "sniping" a person with a my HKm4 (m4 types gun).

A longer barrel does not compensate for accuracy very much to make a difference. It is more so once your velocity reaches 350 fps or above along with your actually skill for hitting targets.

clip magazine.. same thing cept im illiterate and clip is quicker to spell ;D .. and i am moreee than aware that the barrel length has no effect in the accuracy of the gun.. who said i thought that the barrel length was the reason i said it was accurate.? all aeg's are different in their own right too..

oh and i know that sniper is a position.. i could snipe u with a bazooka for god sakes.. i just want ppl to look at me n know wat i am.. a sniper.. and thats where i plan to specialize my game .. as a sniper.. but nonetheless i see wat u mean.. and .. i already knew that..

im not that new to the sport .. i am more than well aware of the things u are talking about.. and wen i say i wanna a sniper.. its the Feel for the gun that counts.. the Bipod/ the scope/ the camo.. c'mon man.. stop turning everything i say into somethin stupid..

"Tokyo Marui SG-1

For those interested in a sniper rifle but want the option of full-auto when the action heats up, the SG-1 is the perfect choice. With a fixed stock that accommodates a large battery, and a long barrel for distance, the SG-1 makes a perfect project gun. Metal folding front bipod adds stability for precision aiming. Cheek-pad on butt makes aiming easy. Metal parts include bi-pod, barrel, magazine, bolt, adjustable front/rear sights, trigger, firing selector. Functioning metal charging lever and dust cover opens to reveal hop-up adjustment knob. Requires thread adapter to install a silencer. For high powered enthusiasts, the G3 SG1 makes an excellent platform for high powered upgrades."
