Airsoft Recommendations?

[tmckay2]

alright, so tokyo marui, classic army, g&p, g&g are all very good gear. stay away from jg, matrix, stuff like that. the one trick with tokyo marui is their rifles are not metal body, they are plastic. good inners though. now they make gas block back rifles which seem cool and down the road might be the best thing but they are new and i bet still have some kinks in them.

for the money id probably do classic army. they are well respected. the inners are fairly stock so some will recommend you replace a better motor and stuff like that but it isn't necessary. these things shoot HARD. like, be careful sort of hard. if a kid just wants to mess around you can get something cheaper and weaker but these are more for people and kids that are playing paintball sorts of things.

WE actually makes decent blowback pistols. there are a lot of options for pistols, some look and feel very, very real.

Just picked up a couple of pistols and an M4 for teaching the kids gun safety in the basement.

These have been a lot of fun and are very realistic - http://www.foxairsoft.com/fox-recomm...owback-pistol/. We got them from Fox for ~100 during a pre-Christmas sale.

Just make sure he doesn't run around the neighborhood playing with em, neighbors will see a kid with a gun and call the cops and then all kind of bad things can happen,,,kind of a shame the society we live in now but it is the way it is.....They do look realistic if the uneducated eye doesn't know what that orange cap is....

I was looking at a KWA full metal 1911 strictly for training in the garage. They're pricey though.

I recently ordered a SVD from EVIKE.com.
They are out of Cali, look them up on Youtube. Look up "Mo Molle, Mo Problems" for a laugh.
Right now 20% off entire order.
Shipping was fast and to the door.
Prices vary and my son loves shooting in the basement.
I plan on buying him a gas blowback pistol next but right now he is using a spring loaded pistol......to build up his charging muscles!

I recently picked up a KJW P226 airsoft gun. It's all metal, gas blowback, and full scale. It's my first airsoft gun and has been pretty fun and inexpensive to shoot.

Whats the high end tactical store?

It's the shop next door to the right of Fox Airsoft. It is run by a gentleman named David M. David was an 18C in the army and is transitioning back to the civilian world. He has a bunch of Mayflower and ATS stuff. It's a small shop right now as he finishes gunsmith school.
He specializes more in custom gun builds than tac gear and makes some very nice rifles.

I have a Beretta clone from KJ Works that I purchased somewhere around 2003. Airsoft was very fringe at the time and it cost over $200 at the time if I remember correctly. I love this thing. It is gas blowback and very close to real life weight. The slide locks back on last round. It has a feature called "hop up" that puts spin on the pellet to make it more accurate and it works great as an indoor trainer. The trigger is double/single too. The magazine is actually where you load the pellets and fill up the gas. It drops free to practice mag changes too. Very cool.

Don't remove the orange paint! This one came that way at the time, I need to get around painting it.

I don't know much about airsoft, but I've become real fond of...

Echo 1 makes real good stuff. For eye/ face pro el cheapo paintball mask will do fine. I always used mesh chainsaw goggles as they cant fog up.Gloves are a must as well mechanix or cheap gardening gloves work fine. Growing up in rural Ohio we didnt have to worry about Cops getting called. Just stayed away from roads, highways, and places of business. Airsoft as a kid was great fun. You can also use them to train novices how to handle firearms before you hand them the real thing.
