what are some good airsoft guns for airsofting or just target shooting.
(Just to apologise beforehand if this isn't kosher)
I was thinking of shotguns but a mate said they take too long to load and there not very powerful.
any thoughts?

Other half has started this hobby, bloody expensive! Anyway what he/or anyone else thinks is good might differ from you.
Type Airsoft into google.
Erm Airsoft hurts more than paintballing.
I was just wondering if anyone did it...
I bought some BB guns but they break too easy...
and Icey: Paintballs can't go through your skin... airsoft pellets can...
i can vouch for the pain factor in paintballing - got a concussion by being shot in the head from around 10 foot away
Chris has just come back from an airsofting weekend and hes covered in bruises.
Im thinking of being shot with metal pellets from a CO2 gun.
I watch dirty sanchez and they look to be in shitloads of pain when they did the naked paintballing.
so do you use paintball guns or airsoft guns?
do you need gas for that?
Airsofting probably uses gas too, but it would be no more painful than being shot with a bb gun (as technically thats what it is).
Though, nastyness aside, I'm confused at what a dirty sanchez has to do with panitballing.
It's a tv programme. The british Jackass basically.
Nothing to do with...ummm...well.......
Though thats neither here nor there.
Oh damn, really wanted a SPAS12 shotgun too..
paintballs used compressed gas, SO do Airsoft guns, they also fly faster,
Paintballs fire at about 150 - 200 FPS, top end airsoft rifles, like most people use fire at UK legal limit on a fully automatic rifle, 328fps, over that is 1joule, classed as an air rifle and illegal to have in fully automatic, semi auto and bolt action is fine,
airsoft rifles, if you haven't got money go for a cheap AEG for about £100 you can get a Chinese CYMA CM208s aka AK47S,
AEG's are Auto electirc gun and are good CHEAP starter rifles, also 70% metal which is rare for something this price, they take batt packs and are relaitively cheap to run, Also remember to use high grade 6mm precision molded airsoft pellet, cheap bb's will scratch the barrell and ruin the gun, use Excels, wolf armouries own ammo or ICS etc, TM are also good, basicly it costs about £5 for about 5000 then it's probably good, if they have little dots where they have been molded then they are crap,
Good makes are for AEG's
Tokyo Mauri, Cheapish and good starters although use alot of ABS, not a bad thing, these Range from £150 - £220 per rifle brand new,
Cyma - new rifles, cheap, about £100 - £120, not as brilliant but TM upgrade compatables so can be upgraded.
ICS, Do full metal rifles, brilliant but expensive, looking at £180 - £250 even £300 for top range models, Full metal, great power, good for skirmishes,
Classic Army - simular to ICS really, just as good but also the same price,
If your going for pistols get gas pistols, if its plastic slide it'd prob run on 134a gas, if it has a metal slide or strong heavy abs you could rub green gas in it.
Westarn Arms, Expensive and good, although had no experience with them,
KWA/KSC - regarded as some of the best pistols ever, I have two KWA glocks, one 18c and one 23f, both full auto and superb,
KJW - good range although not as good, keep away from the usp's they put them in peoples bads books forever as they're not good,
TM, not much expeince with there pistols, they're average, not to expensive
for pistols, decent ones your looking from £60 - £150 with one mag, spare mags are bout £30
any more advice just PM, my personal Armouries is a Cyma CM208 I am upgrading, ICS MP4A4 with Walther red dot, KWA G18c full auto and KWA 23F with KSC metal slide
KWA and KSC are same companies, one is made for japan due to law restrictions and one is made for export.
www.arniesairsoft.co.uk is a great forum, sign up n hit the newbie section, I am hellfire8 on there.
http://www.airsoftcommunity.co.uk is ok from my experience, i use these two and UKAN but UKAN is dead now, was owned by ASCUK anyway so is near enough the same,
these two are the biggest AS forums in the countrie,
Arnigeddon event (sp?) not far from Wales. I am pretty sure he posts on both those forums lol.
Uses the same name he did on here if you know it
im also gonna be sad, what kit has he got
Well he won't be going that often as we can't afford it. He's been banned now until we have been on holiday
it costs me alot, but just to go for a game its cheap (does he have his own rifle) its about £30 a game, £15green fee, rest on ammo n batts and charger etc.
i have to pay to go to mainland so is bout £60 a time and a friday night, sat game n come back on sunday trip, but its a sport i love, just as fun and better than paintball.
Johny, whats your budget?
