Well if it's your first, and you want a pistol or assault rifle, go to wal-mart or something. Your first is not meant to be good, nor a pro gun with overpowered FPS. Avoid Airsplat.com, Hobbytron.com. Go for Airsoftgi.com (which is where i shop) Airsoft atlanta, things with good reviews. However, if your really determined and want a good beginner gun, what type do you want? Airsoftgi has gas pistols, a few C02, but most Green gas and that sort. You could pick up an easy ABS plastic UMP for $90 on it, and AK-47's start at $100. If you want metal, the metal guns start at around $170. My MP5 was $200, it's 14 pounds, full metal, 400 FPS. They have basically everygun on it. So take a look. Also, free shipping over $100, so basically it's
always free shipping. When you get into a sniper, they start at around $60 lol. They sell some hardcore stuff: Real gun optics, Several thousand dollar guns, miniguns, etc.
