firepower fp8 any good
 

i was just looking around and found this gun it looks really nice, even though it is plastic, or mostly, umm would you guys recomend it to a begginer

anything made by firepower is generally regarded as crap from what i have heard.

if you want to save money buy a Kraken or a JG and nothing else, no KIMA or others.

Firepower = complete shit.

And any XM8 model, no matter the manufacturer, will be plastic. The real gun is made out of polycarb like the G36, so noone makes a metal airsoft version.

to put it simply

Pssst... it belongs in here...

...with me.

...heh heh heh...

My friend bought one, it lasted him 2 skirmishes. and dont expect the damage to be repairable. dont get it.

My friend had one and the entire body was actually falling apart, like cracking up and falling into a million tiny little pieces... It is a massive waste of money.

ok thanks for the advice i wont be getting that gun then. hey does anyone know any good stores in winnipeg

For airsoft guns? None.

ok thanks so pretty much i have to buy online or go find a place in canada, what would be the closest store?

Oh my god, do some friggen research for yourself! If you spent two minutes using the search feature at the top of the page, you'd know there are no walk in airsoft stores in Canada, and there are two stores online you can order from and if you order online from any stores that aren't based in canada, your gun will be seized and you will be put on the customs and immigration shit list, meaning any time you try and cross the border or go anywhere, you will be stopped and searched thoroughly and could even be charged with trying to import a prohibited device.

How old are you? IF you're over 18, which I don't think you are, get age verified and buy used on these forums.

oh. sorry. >_>

DO NOT WANT:

- Minor
- Cheap AEG
- Backyard skirmish
- Not reading the FAQs
- Not searching before posting
- Not getting age verified
- Having a Disney character for avatar
- ...

hahahaha

you guys are pretty mean. >_> I never really said anything offensive to you... so maybe you could just lighten up a bit?

You also haven't taken a shread of advice that we've given you about reading more and posting less.
Maybe you could stop making usless, pointless, posts? Also, maybe you shouldn't take everything personally? The Cat's post was kindof a joke...

I did stop posting lots. >_> The guy had a question so I gave some answers... and I've read a fair share for only being here a day...

kyite

your going thru what i call the noob process

people are gonna flame you you cant stop that even if you ask please

what YOU CAN DO to prevent it is do your own research

i can only help you so much before the german part of me will roll over you with great fury

hehe Welcome to ASC... you'll get your share of flaming. We got 42 guys a day asking for a cheap AEG, cheap gears, cheap this... Airsoft cost a lot of money...

Save your money.... get age-verified... do your search... come to a game...

Got it?

Until you got your Robert Goulet straight... a lot of bumps await you.

I didn't ask for cheap AEG's.... I was just showing people who are asking for cheap AEG's, where to get cheap AEG's and yeah, I'm just waiting till I'm 18 so I can get age-verified... but I'm gonna stick around here so I can get familiar with the airsoft community... but no one really seems nice and its kinda not making me wanna play xD. Eh, I'm sure its just me though....

I was given one a gift. Now I didn't want to hurt their feelings as they drove a fair bit to aquire it.

I am tore out the plastic mechbox and installed a metal one. I know it will still look like a silly tippmann xm8 but hey it will shoot 395 with a tight bore and full sytema gears.....hahaha.

So just for fun you can swap out the mech box. (Dremel is your friend)

I also swapped out the hop up.

but hey what floats your boat.

+1 to a game

i find the local players will be a much greater help to you then others that was the case for me at least

thats not saying nobody past the maritimes helped me but the locals are the people you will play with people you will actually meet and get to know

look into going to a game you might not be able to play given your age more likely you wont

but talk to them in between skirms get to know them get your name out there

by the time your aloud to play people will know who you are and possibly will welcome you to the community

cheers

TCSF-Bowers advice is right... just stick to it. If you feel butthurt and want to call the Whambulance... you won't survive...

Kyite:

1. You've been here for a couple days, never played airsoft before and am underaged, you're hardly qualified to show other people the ropes.
2. You're trying to answer questions that are dead, buried and answered elsewhere a billion times.

We're not being mean, we're kindly asking you to stop pushing our buttons, but you don't seem to be catching on. If we were being mean, there'd be a lot more yelling, cursing, mods and infractions involved.

So please, please, please, post less and read more. Thank you. :)

Yeah I've been wanting to go check out a game for a while now. ^^

Seriously dude, stick around a while. We're evil to noobs to try and scare off the ones we don't want. If you use your time here to do research, learn what's what, etc. you'll have no issues after a month or two.

People who play airsoft are generally very nice people. They're fun to hang out with and game with. You have to remember though that unlike paintball the majority of airsofters in Canada are above 25. It's a sport of adults. Sometimes enthusiastic n00bs come across as impatient and immature, but sit back and learn stuff and you'll fit in fine.

P.S.

Stop telling < 18 kids where to get airsoft guns.

i must be an exception to this part;) lol

Me try harder to not be dumb -_-

Got that right... +1

He got is avatar changed... He learn fast!

Yeah I'm gonna not ask a question at all ever again untill I've searched for like a good 20 minutes with inconclusiveness. I'll just stick around and put my two cents in on threads of interest. ^^

You might want to tone that down a bit too.
