Cybergun M1A1 Thompson

[Twiggy]

So,

I am very new to the airosft world still.

I am thinking of getting this as my first AEG: https://www.replicaairguns.ca/cyberg...1-thompson-smg

One of the reasons being that while I've been looking at different guns, especially M4 and AK platforms I have noticed that they are all within range of $220-$300 usually, and do not include any battery or charger at all, separate money needs to be spent on that, and that can add any extra $50-$100 or so dollars depending on the quality of battery and charger chosen.

This however, comes with battery and charger included - yes not the absolute best but good enough to actually run the rifle and use, until I can buy a new one.

Apparently the body is all metal and only the stock and front grip are simulated wood.

There's no rails currently on it, but I can buy my own small rails and attach them either with short screws, or glue/epoxy if needed. However, I'd likely buy a new front grip and stock to do that, to not ruin the original look.

It seems it comes with a good gear box too, that can be upgraded as well.

All in all, from what I see, this should get me started, but also is open to many upgrades/customizations over time as well.

I like that there's also a drum mag for these.

What are your thoughts, have any other things to recommend that can compete with this price point?

Thanks.

Thanks, I'm also considering a Beta Spetsnaz. Hard to choose between the two.
