I did a fair bit of research too, but it really would shortcut a lot of this if you'd just skip to the end and go and play a game. Many of my preconceptions didn't survive contact with the enemy, or past lunchtime.
You've got a sniper and an AEP, you're good to go. I honestly don't see what's stopping you since now you're talking about buying another gun when you haven't played yet with the ones that you've got.
If you're mostly interested in collecting, that's absolutely fine, I'd have mine on the wall except I can't afford a divorce lawyer. But you're asking which gun is best for playing without having much context for assessing the answers.
For example, the weight of the R85A1 has come up repeatedly, and you've pooh-poohed it, but on what basis?
If you run a hire AEG for a day and find out what you like and don't like about it, then you can make an informed decision relative to that. Or just turn up with your sniper and see if someone with an AEG wants to swap for a while, folk are always looking to try out different things.
I think everyone is abit of a collector really.
Weight isnt an issue i was shooting the real one at 12yo with the cadets.
I cant afford 50 quid a pop thts the whole point me buying guns in forst place.
The site closest to me is cqb and its being sold im told so i want to go n shoot it up while its still running.
There is another site with the higher fps limits n my sniper is too hot for the local site n ill probly get owned pretty quick with just my aep.
So might aswell buy an aeg so i got a backup n can play at this site and other cqb sites when my bikes finally done.
Im planning to do this as much as i can and want to do milsims and alsorts.
But i dont wanna do it with a gun i dont like if that makes sense.
If i bought a gun i dont really like i feel it will ruin the experience for me.
As for the car references you dont buy a merc just cz its good u buy a merc cz you like it. Same with these kids buying fiestas and modding them they do it cz they like it.
I wouldnt mind an lmg but at 300 no thx ive thought about modding a ak into an rpk but i dont really like them either lol
I know im fussy i just wanna enjoy doing this.
I did look at the jg g3 but if its anything like the mp5s they do it probly aint gna last long like most guns in my budget they all pretty much need work to be good and its finding one im willing to put the effort into
You guys are turning me off the r85
And all the others big time lol
