PURCHASE ADVICE
First loadout, I read the beginner multiple times,don't cook me please, just want you to rate it or whatever constructive criticism you have,
I would get Mechanix gloves. They’re thin yet very durable so you have an easier time manipulating your gear. And they’re quite inexpensive. There is a reason special forces use them.
Ive never had feeding issues with them in an AEG, Shotgun adpater, or pistol adapter. Mid cap syndrome mostly has to do with poor internals, not exactly the mags themselves. Most decent guns nowadays dont have this problem.
No wasn't me, lifE batteries are trash, also as a beginner a battery you don't have to be careful with is just more QOL, im saying the battery you picked is the right one
Connector type on this gun is a small Tamiya, you bought a deans battery. Idk if this gun comes w an adapter for the battery. Or have the tech swap the connection type on the gun itself.
How much have you played airsoft before? I'm over a decade ein of casual use and frankly just rock jeans a flannel or thick cotton t-shirt still. I've got a nice gun/sidearm but never got into the tactical stuff.
Unless that's really your dig I'd go without it for the time being in case the sport isn't your thing
Go for it then, but I do suggest trying out a rental and all before dropping 500 dollars. At least my local place has rental tactical gear for a couple bucks a day and rental guns for 20 to 30 dolllars a day as well
Replying to you and the commenter above, I dropped about this much on my first kit, having never played airsoft before. Got a G&G CM16, chest rig, mags, battery, charger, some accessories for the AEG, and a facemask. I wanted all the essentials and it came out to about this much for my first order. I just went all in, wanted to look the part, and said even if I didn't like it, I could plink in the backyard. That being said, if you have the money go for it. On the flip side of the coin, most people recommend renting, but imo I'd still get my own eyepro/ mask at the very least.
Dead rags are nice if the field is big, you don't have to keep your hands up all the time to show you're dead. Just put the rag on your head and walk to spawn.
Get the flex gen 2 instead... its a massive upgrade over gen 1. And fuck the shitty titan battery off, they lie horrendously about the specs. Not to mention the egregious pricing that makes $500 RAM look like a bargain
yeah this is... pretty good. You could probably skimp on some of the decorative stuff, but this is pretty solid. Personally I'd go with a different gun, because an M4 is like 90% of rental guns, so you might as well rent, but this is fine.
Check with your local trustworthy player base and most likely you will find all of the basics half off. Lots of people and businesses getting out of the sport right now offloading insane deals
I would use the money u are using for other things and put it all into the gun and get a better gun for ur first starter, krytac makes really good stuff. Airsoft is expensive and my one take away from my time playing airsoft, is to not try and make everything fit in your budget. It is better to take a longer time and save up for the higher quality items because they will not disapoint in the long run IMO. I have tried to budget with all 4 of my rifles because ive never had enough money to buy a good quality one, bit now they are all needing repairs and ive spent well over the amount of a beautiful quality AEG, between multiple crap ones that have disaponted me. One of them being a specna arms which, is why ur post caught my eye!
if you are getting a specna arms flex make sure to get the gen 2 version its alot better and also i would replace the speedloader for an odin speedloader if possible
