yeah as far as the invite for people to come out and play i was really just offering the land we play and, not like a place to stay for more than one or whatever, more of a rhetorical offer than an actual one

The TM mags are very reliable, i hear ppl having problems with the G&P one feeding, but i have yet to have a problem, if you do get one you may need to sand the little piece that pushes the bbs up because its to big for the hole in some cases and needs liek a mm taken off, simple fix for a good mag.

If you guys want goo reliable first weapons AEGs get Tokyo Mariu's. The bodies are plastic which is shitty but they are reliable. If you want something a bit more expensive but with metal bodies get a Classic army or ICS.

right, but then again, you need to take a lot more care of full metals-- keeping it lubed and clean and all that junk, depends on your level of expertise with airsoft guns, in addition to the cost.
someone like milla or tystnad i can see owning a CA, but someone like unkown sniper or muzza or myself would wanna go with a TM because theyre easier to manage and a bit cheaper, though not by much
my next airsoft is gonna be a sniper rifle, this one kid had one that night and i now want one so bad...too bad thats not gonna be happening for quite some time

Im gonna build my own sniper rifle with a CA M4 or M16 as base. Put on a silencer, change the innerbarrel so it goes all the way through the silencer, new gears, new battery (12v I think), bipod, scope and some other nifty things. Was looking at the TM M16 SR16, cuz its got a full stock, which means big battery.
MuZzA, about the gun;
[url:011ed]http://www.wolfarmouries.co.uk/airsoft/bb/gun.asp?page=sale[/url:011ed]
That site had some nice guns on it. My sugestion though, is to get a TM M4. Rather cheap, easy to use, easy to modify. All in all, a great airsoft gun.

One of the guys on my team did something similar, and it turned out just OK not great, so hopefully you can do better
