Airsoft & Paintball and those in between.

Expensive? yeah, but fuckit- I have no doubt I'll get my moneys worth out of the gun. Having played paintball a good deal, I really like the skirmishing sport, but am not so crazy about the goofy looking guns and paint-stains; so AS seems like a good fit for me.

So hopefully it'll go well. And if not, I'll be willing to supply one of you more Airsoft-enabled folks with a cheap Aug SR (no guarantees of course, I have every intention of loving the hell out of AS).<span id='postcolor'>

TM, if it is, it is an amazing gun, here is a Video of one

[Tex -USMC- 0]

rgr that, it's a TM. From my understanding, TM is about the only way to go for AEGs if you are concerned with quality. I got the SR version (matte-black finish instead of drab, and instead of a scope, I get a weaver rail-mount), and am thinking of getting myself some nice red-dot optics for CQB to medium range engagements.

Classic Army and Top seem to be good BBgun manufacturers as well.

Actually i heard that classic army guns tend to break down alot faster then TM. The only thing good on their gun is that they have a full metal body. Some people buy their gun just for the body. But anyways if you plan on getting a classic army gun, do some research on what you have to change/do to the gun after you buy it. You can find the answers on the forums here: http://www.airsoftcanada.com/  (just do a search for "Classic Army". Currently the site is down, should be back up soon.

CA has been known to do so black, but they have metal body upgrades, but I would still like to go with the tm, tm is the way to go most of the time if your getting an aeg.

CA M16A3 and CA's M4A1 seem not to have "barrel wobble" due to their thicker barrels.

BTW, if ur getting a CA... get a European version. Only Asian versions are crap.

I have a TM M16A2.

I have not had a problem with barrel wobble.

All it requires, is a bit of care.

the circular ring that you use to take off the foregrips needs to be tightened occasionally.

Thats it.

That's not a permanent solution.

Still i rather have the CA armalite due to the thicker barrel if i get an Armalite AEG.

but first...

A Steyr AUG special.

Hey, that's my gun It should be here in a day or two. I plan on keeping it medium power and putting a red-dot sight on it, instead of a 4x32 scope

/me drools

How much will that set you back?

[Tex -USMC- 0]

About $300 US, give or take 20$ depending on where you buy from (If you live in Hong Kong you can get one for $200 US). Yes, I have put myself and my minimum-wage income in hock for a month or two, but it's worth it.

OMG... i just had a skirmish on a 12 hectare terrain near Liege in Belgium..

It was big.  

One of my team members is gonna get a Jeep and mount a FN Minimi on top of it just to drive on that terrain.

funny though not a single person could speak English or dutch there in Liege...

Had some trouble to order some meat there for our "improvised" barbeque so I had to dig all my French i learned from my french lessons in middle school 4 years ago.

"Je veux umm... uhhh... uhhmm.... uhh... Meat?"

Anyone ever see a M4 Masterkey configuration? I've been looking for something like that for a long time ever since I got my TM M4A1. I'm getting a TM M3 Shorty next. If I can't find some sort of kit it looks like i'll have to make something.

try some ordinairy tape.

[Tex -USMC- 0]

well, my AUG SR arrived yesterday, and it kicks ass! It's constructed of heavy-duty polymers & plastics (the stock), and the rest is metal (receiver and barrel). It is surprisingly heavy (apparently it's the second heaviest stock gun in the TM inventory), which is great because I was worried about it being a cheesy plastic POS. But it isn't, which is very cool. The balance in a bullpup takes a little getting used to, but once you do, it is just fine.
