The weapons your purchased are not the best, if you are 18 or older, you should get AVd and check out our buy/sell section and our retailers section for some MUCH better guns that are not too much much more then what you have already spent.

Be sure to read the FAqs, there is VERY important information there including how to get AVd. Please read them as soon as you can.

If you are under 18, READ THE FAQs ANYWAYS
Spend a lot of time here reading and learning.

Welcome to the forums.

have you even took a look at the guns being sold?
the amount of money you choose to use to buy guns with, will determine if your gun will break in the heat of gaming
(gaming? or the proper term is playing or airsofting?)
now go read the FAQs

You can absolutely bring them out to a game, but your probably not going to enjoy it very much....
I'm sure people there will let you shoot their guns to compare range and accuracy, but ideally you should get age verified and buy a decent used gun here in the classifieds

Surebet did all that work...: http://www.airsoftcanada.com/showthread.php?t=93431

Anyways, OP it's not like you can't bring them to games, they're fine but you'll be seriously outgunned. Maybe borrow someone elses gun for a match/scenario and see the difference.

Not the greatest quality items. The addition of a cheap red dot and a laser are usually items that are meant to distract the buyer from how inferior a product is by making the think that their getting all this awesome stuff in one package. When in reality its like buying a hamburger full of free fit. Just cause the spits free doesnt mean its a good deal. Unless you like spit burgers, then by all means, please enjoy your spit burger.

If possible I would suggest returning them for a refund and savings the money for something else or a rainy day.

Getting carded is usually dependant on the store, and having them is not by any means an indication that your are an adult. But since you say you are 26 no problem you can get your AV and all will be well in the world. I would that you do return them and get your money back. If you are interested about trying airsoft but are not ready to drop $500-600 just to try it thats ok. There are many people who are willing to rent a gun and some mags to a player. I suggest you contac an AV and arrange a meet. See if there are any events planned and ask around to rent some gear. That way you can get an idea if you think you will like it or not. It also help so fill out your location so locals can help you out.
