First Gun - Read the thread, but...
 

Ok, here is my problem.

I read the other threads in the forum about going about choosing a gun, I understand the majority.

Except, alot of the sites i've been looking on don't say anything about upgrading options, and some of the guns I've been looking at have the exact same specs as one another, but at 100$ difference ...



I know you shouldn't go cheap on these things, and I don't plan to, but what can I get in the 220-300$ Price range (exluding bb/gear)?

If this is the complete wrong forum, please simply tell me and i'll delete/repost elsewhere, thank you.

a kraken+a little bit of work on it..

Best you get for that money is a used brand name gun (CA, TM et al) in the classifieds, though you need to be age verified to access the classifieds.

By curiosity, what sites have you been shopping on? Please specify if you are canadian or not, the advice will be different.

kraken+ upgrades

Jing Gong.

I'm Canadian, just turned 18 in April

I was on random googled sites..i was up till 6am this morning looking at guns and trying to fill myself in.

The TM AK47 gave me abit of wood... i really liked it. Youtube videos pumped me up eve more. But...

I compared

to

http://www.tokyo-model.com.hk/ecshop/goods.php?id=435

The price is pretty close, cept ones almost 100fps faster ?


I want a gun that is under 350$ and I can do long-term-upgrades with.

And again.. I looked up the Kraken AK and it's 100 dollars, 360approx FPS, but nearly 200$ cheaper then the guns I linked... I don't get it.

+1 JG is a lot better than Kraken

Remember, FPS isn't everything. Alot of new people seem to choose guns because of high FPS.

I'd say get age-verified and get a Jing Gong.

Good luck and welcome to the forums.

Well non of these are in Canada so chances are they will never even reach you if you do buy them, and there will be no refund. You'll have more luck with getting verified and looking at the classifieds.

Firstly, the guns you liked are priced in US dollars. Retailers in the US don't have to jump through as many loops as the Canadian Retailer(s) thus making their prices lower than ours. The kicker is, you can't order from the US because it'll likely get seized at customs and you'll get blacklisted. (Meaning everything you order from the states from then on will be searched, along with yourself if you travel over boarder)

Secondly, Kraken is being suggested because, for the price, it's a pretty alright gun (from what I've read) and is TM compatable so you can upgrade it to your liking with higher end stuff.

Take the advice of those who have made suggestions. Go for a Kraken if you don't have much to spend. It'll give you a somewhat game-able gun with the potential to upgrade when you get a bit more pocket money.

You won't be able to get much in terms of accessories/guns until you get age varified though. Once that happens you'll be exposed to a world not known by those without white bar of acceptance. ;)

EDIT - Figures, I take so damn long to type and everyone gets in before me.

ah that sucks =/ was unaware most of them didn't ship to Canada, that sucks.


ANyone able to suggest a site for me then? I'll look for myself, but like I said, im new to most of this, I don't want to over-pay toooo toooo much.

Best bet is to get age varified and then you can see our classifieds. That's about the most reliable you're going to get.

If you're 18+ then find your region on the link provided and then contact a rep or two.
Under 18? You'll have to wait.

If/when you do get varified you'll find that the prices will still be more than the US but the people will generally try to give you the best price they can.

Most of the "where are guns pls" and "why can't I" questions are answered here
