My first airsoft gun !!

[tycho]

Yeah, seriously - stop digging the hole, please. Just wait; take the money you have now and buy 2 year GIC's or something like that so when you DO turn 18 you can actually buy a decent gun.

Isn't this the same gearbox that is in the gun in the first place. It looks a little plastic to me (might be wrong), look at the shell. The whole thing might crack after a while...maybe that's why they have replacements LOL!

Dude, I am on your side but you are digging a hole with these ideas. The gun is not great, that's what everybody is telling you. We know what we're talking about and we're only trying to help you from wasting your money. Airsoft upgrade parts are typically only made for high-end AEGs and the cheap china brands and clearsoft are not guaranteed to be mechanically compatible. Even Classic Army gearboxes can be different from Tokyo Marui gearboxes. You can use d-boy parts, but why would anybody want to?

Tell us, how much is Zaeem asking for the gun? Dboys DOES make a metal M4, it's about $130 in the US
YouTube - full metal Dboys M4 RIS - REVIEW PART 1

I bet the one Zaeem is selling is the silly plastic body and plastic gearbox version that will feel like a toy and fall apart after a few uses.

hey so would you guys suggest the full metal MP5-A5 , it has a full metal gearbox also ?

[TokyoSeven]

I would suggest you learn to do your own research.
Youve been spoon fed enough one day, youve been spoon fed enough for 2 or 3 days.

Talk to your parents dude. Tell em you'll take out the trash, clean your room and the garage plus do all the dishes and suck the farts out of baby seats for the extra cash. Then tell them what it's for, let them know about the age restrictions, where you'll be playing and the fact that you could be shot if mistaken by an officer of the law while playing someplace that is not a recognized feild. Then see what they say.
There's a big responsibility for these big boy/girl toys. read through, understand and respect the FAQ' on this site.
Just a side note: I notice three of four flamers in this thread who have not been part of ASC longer than 8 months. Do you guys remember your first stupid question? It must make you feel big to start flaming now that you're into the sport and are all knowing. I remember my first stupid question. It was " Which gun should I get?"

dude you dont get what people are telling you and second, a plastic mechbox? anyone here can attest to this, Even full metal mechbox's can crack and break.

[purplestairs]

No, I'd suggest a straw with dried peas. I guarantee it will fit your budget until your 18.

not only will dried peas work as a usable form of ordinance but it will also work as an emergency source of food should you find yourself in a survival situation! lol

2) What aeg sold in canada then do you suggest kalnaren??

I suggest waiting until you are 18, saving up ~$500, getting age verified, and buying a starter package from the ASC Classifieds. You'll be able to get a good AEG, mags, and most likely batteries as well.

Remember that the cost of the gun is only one investment in airsoft. You also need money for batteries, a charger, magazines, and (not necessarily at first) BDU's and maybe some other gear. The commonly accepted amount to get into airsoft is about $1,000, though you could probably do it for $600 if you can find deals on equipment. Airsoft isn't a cheap sport -accept it.

I haven't been here more than 8 months and I flamed this fool so what? join date has nothing to do with one's level of knowledge and common sense, what is your point?

omg i only joined asc in january 2008, so i guess before january 2008 i never heard of airsoft

[TokyoSeven]

Well you should take all that knowledge and use it in a helpful manner then.
Flaming a new user impairs the possibility of them actually listening to some of us who actually care enough try to help. When you flame and come across as a douche bag it puts them in a defensive position where they become alot more stuborn and dont take advice or suggestion.
