You'll find the FAQs to be of substantial benefit. They can answer many questions, and give you enough in the way of base knowledge to avoid making any rash decisions.
As for the price of an AK, check the various Canadian Retailers situated at the top of the page. Most will have Marui AK-47s somewhere in the range of $500. Remember to add in the cost of battery, charger, any extra mags you might desire, and of course the various gear you'll find to be useful.

But really, reading FAQs will save you emotional damage from people yelling obsenities at you.

On every airsoft forum people are such bloody jerks. Kinda odd eh?
I just wanted some opinions ok 'dude' ?

[BC_K]

Brand new, $470 + Shipping, so about $500 NEW.

Used, it all depends what the seller prices it at, condition, upgrades, ect.

Peopel would come off as jerks because as you say you've looked around already, so you SHOULD have an answer to your question already.

Alright. Thank YOU

It is a good idea to plan for many things at once. Not only will you get an AK, but you will need a battery, a charger for your battery, extra mag(s), bb's, a gun case perhaps, tac vest of some sort, eye protection, etc., etc., etc. I would plan to spend $1000 or so if you want to get everything you need to play at the level we're used to. This may sound like alot, but really is all necessary if you want to be able to hold your own as well as be safe both on and off the field (hence the gun case idea). I've spent enough to buy a new car and still have no immediate plans to stop. That's just the way it goes when "the bug bites".

[stalkingvengeance]

Hehe, yea this game seems to be pretty expensive.
thanks most of you for your input.

You know, it really isn't that bad. it's the inital cost of gun and gear that hurts, but after that it's the cheapest hobby you can have. Many of the guys I play with played serious paintball and would easily drop $300+ in 1 day of play on paint. And that's on top of the $2000 gun and all the gear to go with it. You can play airsoft on less than $10 in ammo in 1 day and usually a small field fee. What other action game let's you do that? Once your past the inital start-up cost, it is effectively the best entertainment going. I would suggest you check out a local game just as a spectator and see if it's for you. Then decide all the particulars of what you want later.

And btw, we're not all jerks!!!

Yea true true.
I saw an ak in the surplus store the other day for $219..but i guess that'd be a piece of crap eh?

Well ive counted 1 jerk so far lol. Nice greeting to the site i must say.

[mcguyver]

Stick to a recognized brand and try the gun before you buy it. But I wouldn't hold out too much hope to find a cheap, quality used AEG. Used prices are sometimes very close to new prices, but you may get a deal on mags or something. I personally like buying new to avoid buying a misused or "amateur-modified" gun, even though i could repair it myself if needed. As you're new and likely inexperienced in gun repair, I would avoid those issues if I were you. To buy new or used from this site and most Canadian retailers, you need to be 18. So wait a bit, do some checking around, save up some cash and when your 18, go for it!!

You wanted spoonfeeding with zero research, and to make things worse all you had to do is look at the top of Each Page of this website... so start here and drop the 'hurt' attitude:

This is a generic response. Pick the parts that apply to you.

FAQ: (Frequently Asked Questions) Button at top of forum list. I bet what you want has probably been asked before. Also found in the Information Section.

Information: Button at far top of page (and the Information Center section of the forum). You might find the Information you are looking for. And check the pinned subjects in each section.

Canadian Retailers: Button at far top of the screen. If they are not listed, DONT buy from them. You can also look at the Classifieds section on the main page, or Trumart who owns this website. You must now be 18 to buy guns, and AGE VERIFIED (look it up), to visit our forum classifieds.If you want something, and dont see it on their websites, EMAIL them. Dont ask us.

International retailers and information: Button at the far top of the screen. Good for information, but buy from Canadian Retailers. YOU CANT IMPORT AIRSOFT GUNS INTO CANADA!

Teams, Games and people to meet (pick your Province): Team section, go see and contact folks. They will know where to play and Where To SHOP in your area.

Search button: Learn to love it.

If you cant find what you need at all in there, check again.
If your profile does not tell us the city you live in, we cant direct you to local help and services, so please fill it.
If you're under 18, wait.
Read a lot; we dont spoonfeed what has been written already.
