I've never been into airsoft but I have always wanted to make my own airsoft gun from scratch

Wanna make a $5 dollar one?

On page 111 because it means something to mi madre.

ANYWAY, I might get an Airsoft M16 or MP5

Nope

Yes, anyone dressing up for airsoft needs to go out and do the real thing.

You're loving stupid, seriously. Just stop. Different people play airsoft differently, for some it's a big hobby opposed to just a little thing to do sometimes, do you go out and tell people to really fly planes if they spend alot of money on model planes? Didn't think so, how about instead of bashing other people and telling them to go to war instead of having fun you just forget off.

That's what I'm in the process of doing.

I really think it would be cool to make a custom airsoft gun, I don't know if I'd make one from scratch but to go and buy the parts and make something like a modified M4 like sopmod.

[chaseyqurt]

Buying parts and putting them onto your gun isn't really making a custom gun, anyone can do that. It's customized but it isn't exactly custom. If you hand make portions of it then you can truly call it custom.

[Block Buster]

Yea I see what you're saying but for my practical reasons that would probably be as custom as I could get.

I found this gun on evike, and they are making a big hype about it. It's got a lot of info on there, but I really can't understand most of it the way you guys do. Version 3 metal gearbox means a gearbox that is metal that is better than version 2 to me, so can you tell me why this gun is as you kids say: 'all the rage'?

[chaseyqurt]

The big hype their making is stupid, none of those are exciting new features or anything, they're just trying to lure in uneducated buyers.

A version 3 gearbox isn't really alot better than a version 2 gearbox, almost ALL gearboxes are metal. Only stuffty LPEGs have plastic gearboxes. The page states that it has a Version 2 gearbox, I don't think you'll notice any difference between the two (V2 and V3) though. Nothing really stands out about the rifle but, it is a pretty good value. Honestly though, I wouldn't buy from Evike at all, they're really loving shady. The way they advertise things pisses me off too. If you want, go ahead and get it. You'll still need a battery though.

[oromis]

You'll still need a battery though.

Yeah I was reading through all that and saw it didn't come with a battery :/ And I made my first airsoft gun purchase from evike and it turned out fine. I won't judge the quality of them by that one purchase though, if I find the same gun for the same price on AGI, I'll buy it there.

Chasey is really educated on Airsoft.

Got a MP7 Umarex.  Pretty loud, green gas powered, 40 bb's per magazine, close-combat.  Waiting now for the indoor place to open for dem' wars.
