My first was a plastic MP5. It never actually functioned but I thought it was the coolest thing in the world. I tried to take it apart once and I sort of broke it anyway.

It depends on alot of other factors besides FPS.
What can you upgrade to further range? I know you could get a tighter barrel for accuracy and you could adjust the hop-up for more range, but let's say you had all of that down and fixed how far could you shoot somewhat accurately?

Probably very far. You might want to upgrade other parts too so that the stress doesn't destroy your gun.

My first springer was a P226 too. But one day the mag catch just came out of the gun for no reason and I couldn't get it back in.

First springer was a UTG MK23. Very nice springer, I still have the silencer, which was surprisingly good as well.

EDIT: Oh, and the reason for my post. What have peoples experiences been with OETech stuff? I've pretty much just run Pantac or real deal gear in the past, but I'm looking at building a really light rig and don't have a lot of money ATM, so I'm looking at their battle belt and H-Harness set up... is it worth it?

OE-Tech is awesome.

Oh, and the first springer I had was a UHC USP, I've still got it around somewhere.

First gun I had was actually a gas-blowback M9, a KWC M92FS, I believe.

Safety got jammed in the 'on' position, somehow. The actual safety lever didn't move the thing that locks the trigger, and I couldn't figure out how to fix it. Not even sure where it is now.

The battle belt/ H harness setup is great for going lightweight. I have one and it works great, though I don't use it nearly as often as I should. Comfortable, adjustable, and fairly durable. There may be one or 2 loops of the webbing that are undersized but nothing else really wrong with it. Just be sure you have a belt that can run through the battle belt, as it doesn't come with one.

I've turned up nothing. I found the silencer from an Irish airsoft site, but I'm sure you don't want to purchase the entire thing again.

They look pretty cool though.

They're alright, the plastic threads are a bitch, since they've gotten stuck more than once. Also triples the amount of times I need to clean the barrel, but it does look pretty rad.

I'd just like a refill since it's useless without the refill cartridge. I don't have the cartridge anymore since I had to rip through the suppressor to take it off. It's not too big of a deal, I was going to build myself another suppressor anyways.

No, but the ones on http://Rap4.com work almost exactly the same.

Generally standard pack batterys or also known as bricks/mini-bricks. I think you can fit a mini 9.6v in it

JG isn't so bad, I'd say they were lower middle. They make good beginner guns.

I've been looking at the Dboys 74u and Scar-L. Both are full metal and have great reviews, and apparently are fairly durable. My friend keeps telling me to get a G&G, but the only ones I can get are the Sportsline, and they don't come with batteries.

Same here, they just made an AEG SVD, first ever, apparently. Do fucking want.

Also, anyone know where I can find a woodland IBA?



Like, is that just a cover or what? I can't find a woodland old-school one like this, not one of the new-fangled MOLLE shit up to the neck and all over the back.

DBoys makes spectacular guns, and in my opinion the DBoys SCAR is one of the hidden gems of airsoft. G&G makes amazing guns too, so it's up to you if you want metal or really really really nice polymer.

I love my Dboy's AK-74 a ton. My friend has a G&G M4 type thing and it is having motor problems. Although when it was working it was a great gun.

It's not brand new, but it's their newest one. CA copied it and sells it for about the same price. I would go with RS personally.

I have a Kalash AKS-74 and I had some problems with them feeding Mag AK-74 midcaps. They always worked fine before until today. They will shoot four bbs and then stop shooting all together. They fit in fine, and they've worked up until now. Any ideas what it might be? I got bets on the mag spring not being strong enough. Thanks for you help.

I got my automerge broken twice...

You forgot KWA, which is pretty much the best brand for out of the box performance.

Well, just so I have options, I want to check another gun I could buy. I'm not buying from Evike, don't worry, but what is your opinion on this gun: http://www.airsoftpost.com/product_i...ducts_id=28595
I have that gun and it's pretty sturdy overall. If you do get it I'd play on upgrading hopup, barrel, and probably down grading the spring.

Still considering alternatives for the TAR 21.

I'm pretty sure I'd get a M249 Echo 1, but I also figure I can actually get two guns if the other is fairly cheap for just about the same price. For example,a Combat Machine. That way I have a mixture, I have a big, bad ass gun I could use amongst a team and I've always had this thing for them and I have a decent, stock, regulation M4.

It's either that or a A&K LR-300. I considered a new pistol but mine is fine and I can't seem to find the right one, they're either sold out or things I need for them are not on the market anymore.

Edited:

Or I buy a riot shield and some spare bits and pieces I need.
