I totally understand where you guys are coming from and agree with your views, I probably wouldn't invest in any of the cheap AEG's but when it comes to a cheap lil spring rifle I don't mind spending a bit of money and taking a chance when there are so few things that could go wrong ( 6 moving parts or something? ) and so many people with great experiences buying the same model I want, I'm not trying to seem like im ignoring what your saying... quite the opposite it has given me alot to think about, but what I was in the market for was a cheap airsoft gun of decent quality and I think I got that one covered now.
This might be hard to understand with so many quality products available but I just want something to lug through the mud and I wouldn't wish the fate of this rifle on anything worth a damn. lol.
I have been reading alot of the posts on these forums and so far have found it all very informative, I am trying my best not to ask a question that hasnt been asked already... which is tough cause you guys have covered alot of ground here!
The plain fact of the matter is, when you buy a CA or a TM you have something to be proud of. When you buy china soft, as a previous poster said you get what you pay for... and in this case it isn't something to write home about. But it should get the job done, and if something does go wrong, it is a exact copy so all parts and fixes should be the same, which is pretty much the one factor that made me decide to try it out and see what I think in the long run, something that is hard to do testing out other peoples arms at a local game or similar situation.
Anyway I can tell I'll get alot more out of these forums then I'm gonna be able to put in for a while, but I'm working on it! And I'll try to contact one of the age verifying agents for next weekend and hopefully be able to meet them on my day off, if not for the purpose of being able to purchase airsoft through this website then just to show respect to the standards and practices of the community.
Thanks to everyone who submitted their opinions to my first ever post, it was educational!
