Need some help, a newbie to airsoft guns

[StevenDiep]

Hello Airsoft Canada, my name is Steven Diep and I've recently been interest by airsoft guns. I live in Canada, and because I'm new to airsoft guns, I don't know much other than the basics. I will list some things I need help with, I ask that you please answer them clearly and with the best of your knowledge.

1. Is it possible for me to get an airsoft that is 1:1 scale?

2. Can airsoft guns in Canada have metal and coloured parts? I really do not want an airsoft made out of clear plastic like what I find in the local walmart!

3. Can I buy said airsoft guns in #2 in stores and not on the internet?

4. I would like to buy from Classic Army? Is that a good brand?

5. Approximately how much money will it cost for a beginner to start. That would probably include an airsoft (say Classic Army M15A4), a handful of BBs and other requirements.

6. Do most airsofts use 6mm or 8mm BBs? Or are both of them used equally?

Thanks for your responses.

All not-gay airsift is 1:1 scale.

Wal-Mart is gay airsoft. While airsoft guns can have coloured parts, most of us prefer solid black. Many people have full metal airsoft guns.

3. Can I buy said airsoft guns in #2 in stores and not on the internet?

No.

4. I would like to buy from Classic Army? Is that a good brand?

Generally.

5. Approximately how much money will it cost for a beginner to start. That would probably include an airsoft (say Classic Army M15A4), a handful of BBs and other requirements.

About $1,000.

6. Do most airsofts use 6mm or 8mm BBs? Or are both of them used equally?

6mm .20g, .25g, .28g BB's. Not the shitty .12's in Wal-mart. Those will break a real airsoft gun.

Thanks for your responses.

Welcome to asc;

1: yep

2: yep

3: nope only internet

4: Yep

5: New; it would cost you between 1000$ and 1500$ depending on what you need and the quality of what you want.

6: 99% of airsofts use 6mm BBs only a few from MArusin and tanaka used 8mm BBs

Hope this help.
You could also read the faq, fill your profile and try to get age verified (18+) to have access to the classified section.

Thank you very much for your response. I just wanted to know one more thing, what website can I get airsoft guns from (as you can't get them in stores)?

There's also Shootsoft.ca but you have to be verified here to have access to his site.

Thanks Shakal, I'll check into those websites.

[Brit ter]

Alot of noobs come on under age . Best bet is to get age verified and go to the classified threads lots of guns for sale here !

[SHaKaL]

This is neccessary for a simple reason; No underaged kids running around the park shooting each other... with guns that look like the real things

[StevenDiep]

Oh, thanks for the advice. How do I get age verified?

[SHaKaL]

You have to contact your local verifier.
