Thanks Mesthead!

The reviews I've read on that rifle were great, as were the reviews for the SA-1 so I wasnt sure what to go with, in the end I decided to go with the SA-1.

Thanks for your input greylocks and skruface, I will go about becoming age verified when I get time.

Just a quick note... I am not a "newbie" I have been playing airsoft for nearly 7 years and own a highly upgraded TM AUG which I am less then enthusiastic about using it in rain or snow, what im looking for here is something that I can mess around and have fun with without needing to worry about breaking, I guess I should have been more clear in my first post ever lol, my mistake.

I am curious as to why skruface thinks these guns are such garbage, do you actually have experience with these models or companies or are you just looking at the price-tag and assuming they are junk? It is my experience that expensive airsoft guns wear their cost on the externals not the internals... im a bit confused as to why you would assume that a gun that can outshoot the TM VSR 10 out of the box is somehow substandard.

China can make them cheaper... it doesnt have anything to do with quality its about inexpensive labour and better infrastructure for industrial manufacturing.

Unless you know something I don't?

Anywho, thanks for the responses!
