    Were all pretty much beginners and need to know what you guys suggest as a (I understand they are ment to repliate real guns) good beginner/ not so expensive/ something we can buy and modify to our liking/ gun. Something not too heavy and something that we can use for a while. Meaning something good for beginners and an intermediate player. If you have any suggestions please help. Also any extra equipment we may need or something that may be handy.
    Thanks

    a jg g36c or a g&g combat machine m4 are both very good and reliable guns, other than that you just need extra mags and a chest rig or plate carrier to carry them in. and maybe an extra battery

    Being that you are a team what sort of games are you looking at playing, what roles will you have on the field, and what is your playing style going to be like? You have to answer those questions really first before you should dump money on guns.
    For instance,
    I am on a team called Dagger Unit.
    Dagger Unit is known for their aggressive, fast, and tactical playing style.
    The team leader put me on assault.
    I was trying to play with an SR-25 which is a near 20lb gun. So I was having to run like crazy with a heavy gun and I was getting tired out. I now have an m4 which weighs like 5 lbs. So it's much better for our and my playing style.
    Also I know your a girl so I'm going to put this in girl terms, forgive me if I am being too much of a chauvinistic pig. Guns have magazines which hold the bbs. Not all magazines can go in different guns. Kind of like trying to stick 1" curlers in a 1/2" curler warmer. It just doesn't fit. So if you want to be able to interchange mags then get the same kind of weapons. So if Sue runs out of ammo you can just toss her a mag and she's good to go.

    Here is my guide for airsoft noobs. You really should read it.

    a jg/echo1 g36c is awesome. The echo1 is a rebrand jg with a battery and charger included. It was my first gun. Range and accuracy are superb for the price. ROF is a bit low, but the aforementioned qualities more than make up for it. I liked mine as much as I do my g&g m4. If I were you, I'd go for those.

    High rof is great on certain guns but I personnaly don't like it on my old m4 or my g36c, i like it on smgs but not asault rifles because you don't burn through ammo as fast, of course i use semi auto and full auto about 50/50 so that helps too, as much as i like my g36c getting midcaps for it is proving to be a major headache

    Ouch, can't blame you for thinking I don't know much cuse I'm a girl and all..T.T.. But really dude, I know and completly respect the ranks, I'm a noob and need as much advice as I can get, so I really appreciate the direction. Just y'all don't look down on me for being a chick haha, I was a rock climbing instructor for 2&1/2 years and have been pretty physical my whole life so I'm pretty sure I can keep up when it comes to the field, I would prefer a lightweight gun because being as how I'm not a huge dude I don't think I could survive with a 20lb gun for a few hours hahaha that May be a little too heavy, my boyfriend and his friend went to ssairsoft today and said it was amazing and were all going up there next week and I plan on getting all my equipment before then so thank you all for your suggestions ill definiatly look into them and choose from there!

    Echo1 G36 series. Light, durable, cheap. There is no difference between the K and the C except for looks.

    Echo 1 is making some pretty nice AEGs these days. If you want an M4, try them out too.

    personally i like the G&G combat machine M4. they run about 140$, come in tan or black....and are pretty light. Not to mention they are the most reliable gun you can buy for the money. The body is a tough plastic, so the weight should not be an issue, however i have seen these take quite the beating and they hold up nicely. Internals are amazing. overall just a great gun for the money. Plus M4's are by far the most upgradeable guns being produced. Externally that is. There are practically no limitations on the customization of this gun.

    I'm pretty sure that it's the same material that the real steel FAMAS is made out of

    The Combat Machine M4 is made out of an FRP, which is really strong. It's kind of like fiberglass, but the way it's made is a little different.

    If I was getting a gun for $140, I would get a G&G Combat Machine M4.

    Ya, if your on a budget i would recommend a G&G combat machine, but if you willing to shell about $300 then i would get a KWA because they are very reliable and they are pre-upgraded.

    I don't know. It's probably a fiber-reinforced polymer, but I don't think it's the same exact FRP.

    i will second the G&G folks.... but i would go with the original plastic series over the combat machine simply because the internals are better quality

    g&g combat machine FTW! great internals, lightweight, and reliable. all of that for about a 140 pricetag. keep in mind that the battery and charer are sold seperately. but with this gun you can run a 7.4 lipo instead of buying a regular battery and charger. lipo's are a bit pricey-er but they will last about 4-5 hours and are smaller. also they give you great trigger response. you just have to be careful on what type of lipo you use. you can't use a an 11.1 lipo on just any gun. all the internals have to be strong enough. rhino could explain this better. my first gun was just an JG m4 ris system. i still use it. hasn't let me down yet.

    Knoning this the combat machine is by far the better deal! cheers
