Author Topic: I'm buying an airsoft gun and have some questions.  (Read 343 times)

I was in an airsoft store yesterday, and I've always wanted to have a replica gun, so I actually decided to buy one.
The cheapest are around 125E, so I'l have to work for a week (8 hours a day) to buy one, and hopefully I'll have just enough.

I'm kinda new to actual airsoft guns, as I've only had a plastic one I've bought for 20$ a few years back, so I have plenty of questions.

Note that I'm buying a 125-150E gun.

-How big is the usual magazine capacity?
-How long will it take for the batteries to empty?
-do such guns have any wires or stuff sticking out when assembled?
-How often/how do I maintain a gun if in use?
-How easily will the gun break?
-Do accuracy and range increase if I swithc to semi auto?
-Are magazines compatible with many guns?

I have a lot of these questions because I don't really know what model to buy, so suggesting good models would help.
I don't even know if I should go for a rifle, SMG or a sniper.

The guy said the AK 47u and the P90 are the cheapest and he owns the P90 and says It's the stuff, but he is a small man who plays in tournaments, I will only shoot it sometimes, as I don't want to get reported by the neighbors again.

You can answer a lot of these with logic... You are shooting little plastic balls

Mag capacity depends on high caps, mid caps, and low caps.
Battery life depends on what type of battery it is
No, wires don't poke out.
An airsoft gun is hard to break if you get a durable one.
There are different types of mags that guns take, some are compatible with other guns.
You should start out with a bullpup rifle. They shoot pretty far because the barrel is longer than normal rifles

to be entirely honest i think as long as it's quality pick whatever gun you want that suits you
i think you should order online instead to be entirely honest because then you can read reviews and stuff and have easier to access specifications like fps, battery life, voltage, available accessories, etc.

and also i suggest an assault rifle
