That gun is really nice, G&P internals are great from what I've heard. On the topic of an Acog sight, you're not going to have much luck if you want a good one. I'm sure you could find a Red Dot Acog for that price but, one that has magnification and illumination will cost more.

You might not want to order from RedWolf though, shipping will cost more and take longer, you might also have some problems with customs but, I sort of doubt it. AirsoftGi.com has a great lineup of affordable guns with better or equivalent specs.

I'm thinking of getting a m18 sniper rifle,a scope, 2 1911 pistols, 7k bbs, goggles, and a holster from airsplat.com for $176. The shipping is free, and i now have enough to pay for it.... Good deal y/n?
i'm getting the cheap spring stuff because i don't have the money for much else.

I went to a local airsoft store, they had an airsoft minigun for $3500

I'll get pictures of it next time I go.

I think I can trust my nifty M1A1 Thompson... I don't need any 1,000 dollars guns ;D

You're not getting a good deal at all, for the same price, you could get a solid primary AEG.

An AEG, I don't have a camera now.. But the gun is the best,  I got it for $150, 25% off.  I've had since 08' Christmas. Well, the gun has been rained on, dropped, jammed and it still shoots like a charm.  It just has a slow firing rate D:

My current loadout
Double eagle M85

Properties
-Foregrip
-(broke the lazer pointer)
-(I don't use the sight because its just for props)
-double mags
-160 fps
-silencer
-plastic
-collapsible stock
-mag holds 60bb's i think :/
No secoundary weapon
-I had one that was a gift however it was horrid and broke after four matches but while it worked it was ok.
Other things i use
-Speed loader
-Tactical gloves for winter fights
-Actuall army outfit (cousin was in marines)
-400ish BB little pocketsized holder thing
-safety glasses
-just some average bandanna to cover my mouth and neck
My little mess ups
When I started airsoft I really didn't know much at all about guns, what FPS ment, and what a gearbox was and how to fix or replace it if it broke. I fell for one of he things seasoned airsoft buyers know not to do and I bought a gun with all the bells and wistles to hide the fact that it can't shoot much farther than twenty feet and has horrible accuracy. After about a year of this gun I'm  ready to step up the performance with a newer gun like that M16 variant i posted earlier. Also another issue is when you collapse the stock to the gun I have you can't use double clip on one of the sides. Luckily though the army suit was made with extra spots for my stuff like loaders and extra mags.

I got over army suits.. I just wear this combat jacket and some jeans, and maybe a satchel.. But that gun does suck.  I don't blame you though, since you said you were new and all.

that's including everything i'm getting... taking out truly unnecessary stuff, i have 120 for a rifle, and i can't find a good one that includes a scope.

FPS doesn't mean stuff to be honest, at 600 FPS you're just going to hurt someone and cause trouble, there's no real advantage to having a super high FPS.

Nice loadout, and yeah, every field has an FPS level you cannot exceed. 600 Is useless for everything except target shooting. The normal limit of fields are 350FPS for small CQB and 400+ for Field. But if Retz's brother doesn't actually go to a field, and plays around with friends, that can be serious hurt D:

[Healbadbad]

looking at a few different guns... http://www.airsplat.com/Itemdesc.asp?ic=ERM-BI-M4-3281
any good?

The gun shoots far, and yes, it does hurt.  I was poking through a tree shaped like a V, and my brother Freddy was on the other team.. He got a lucky shot and the BB hit my cheek, it literally knocked my head to the side like I got slapped.  It did hurt a lot, but if 600 FPS seems too high it might have been 500.

Haha 600FPS would break skin and make you bleed. My MP5 is 410 and does that, same with my 430 sniper. But yeah lol, I have sniped many of my friends and taken out pieces of their nose, webbings in their fingers, and more lol. It does hurt.

Don't use airsplat.
