Urgent advice needed

Why not just get an air rifle?

Well, somebody could get hurt if misused. I know proper AEG airsofts can hurt but not to the extent at which air rifle does. I will be using it for fun anyways.

So airsoft rifles are not that accurate in general? Not speaking relatively.

agreed 2-tone G&G might be just a stepping stone if you get into it

but if a newcomer stays or quits after 6, 12, 18 months.....

Raider £123 plus battery charger etc.....

(now if the battery/charger sourced seperately and say bought 2 x batteries - 7.4v lipo's could save money)

But anyway - say for arguments sake £175 all in cost of gun n battery charger

OP quits or gets ukara and thinks flog Raider.....

£100 quick sale all in or maybe a bit more light skirmish use and hardly used ???

3 x hire guns would of cost him about £25 a pop = £75 to get ukara'd

now op would be f*cked with some "BB" guns - if they lasted that long

but a Raider should hold up well and hold its value a bit or be worth keeping as spare backup gun

so perhaps a 2-tone G&G is a worthy consideration even if user might get ukara'd and go for a RIF later on

(well I think it ain't unwise - but another crappy aeg gun from BB sites is deffo not a wise long term investment)

G&G M4's are what you want

Zero One & a G&G Raider - tough decision the long or short barrel version ?

2-tone is free of charge - most places charge for 2-toning

or if you are one of those people that MUST have a metal M4

(even though the polymer abs G&G Combat Machines are the dogz nutz)

now you have to pay a bit for the two-tone but they do a nice snake-skin 2-tone on this full metal mofo

Those are my 2 top choices for buying a 2-tone starter M4

if you get ukara'd as we say - then you can go nutz on an all black or tan Realistic Imitation Firearm....

But be warned buying these rif toys can get very addictive but there is 2 great 2-tone starters for you

I am really impressed by your latter choice of full metal M4-like AEG. I am putting this on my consideration list.

Do you or anyone else has any more similar options like full metal body, 350+ FPS and 60m+ range?

And I have narrowed down my search results to airsoft world and zerooneairsoft. These websites are legitimate right? I can do a google search but as I said, I am solely relying on you guys for any decisions.

You are right. It is best for me to just get an expensive, proper AEG airsoft and then paint it to black or whatever colour SHOULD I choose to be ukara'd.

60mtr range usually takes some work to get. 40-50 mtr is the Norm. You'd have to do some serious work on the hop up to get more and use heavier bbs.

You are right. I am pushing it. I am happy with 50 meter range with great accuracy.

rule of thumb if you are skirmishing with ANY gun...

Know your gun's range/limits - no point opening fire on an enemy way outside you or your gun's range

sounds obvious but myself included get involved sometimes in battles way beyond what me & enemy can hit each other

If your gun can't reach that bloke then why open fire until he gets within range

unless you are in range of his sniper/dmr/better gun then move your ar$e

 

[beastmode]

You'll probably want to tinker with it after a while we all do. I didn't think I would when I first started now I can't stop opening my guns up and doing upgrades. That's when you get the best range and accuracy.

Also check out the range thread for more in depth advice on range and accuracy upgrades. Might be useful for you in the future.

Well, somebody could get hurt if misused.

Not really, I assume you're perfectly capable of looking after a low powered air-rifle? If so, you shouldn't have any issues with using an AEG or any airsoft gun for that matter.
