Hi, im thinking of getting an airsoft gun for christmas and my first question is:
Any recomendations for a gun i was thinking this https://www.buyairsoft.ca/rifles/electric/gandg-m4-carbine-advanced.html
it goes about 375 fps and is automatic.

My second question is.
I saw a sniper that goes 480 fps and will this pierce skin because I want to be able to play against my friends and not be worried about killing them lol (bullet weight is .28)

480 fps will pierce skin from close enough range

i had a shitty 350-400 fps sniper that my friends hated and they made me never use it after i no-scoped one of them in the throat with it

as for a gun, i use the JG MP5-A5 and it's sick for the price...full auto AEG and never had any issues with it

first off, your not going to kill anyone, especially at 480fps, i was shot about 15 feet away with 620 fps and barley bled. next, that site doesnt load for me, whats the company of the gun?

Basically you want to get a Tokyo Marui electric gun

My personal favorite is the MP5

Tokyo Marui's are by far the best guns on the market, they're fucking pimp

480 will make you bleed from probably around 15-20 feet away. Farther than that it will just leave a pretty good welt where they get hit. I like having gun thats are around 350 because even though its fun for you, getting shot by that sniper will suck dick for your friends. After a couple days no one will really wanna play with you anymore hahaha. I think the 350 full auto would be a better buy

obviously that was his problem, he just sucked at life so much the gun was dysfunctional, and the company would hear nothing of it because he was shitty at life too.

Nobody is really here to dispute that. If the OP wanted to play paintball, he would have titled the thread "Paintball Questions." As for his question, i don't know shit about good airsoft guns. I have some friends who play with high powered guns, i'll ask them where they got theirs.

the sniper rifles for airsoft always look sick, but the pelets always curve cuz its just little plasic balls. so in the end go with the m4. i got an ak47 its sick and hurts like fuck.

I personally always found Airsoft way more painful than paintball but at the same time, paintballing is super expensive compared to airsoft.

That said, take a look at actionvillage.com... they have an entire section for airsoft stuff.

paintbALL is actually like park skiing, a really stronng community. airssoft seems like what you do in the woods with your freinds( juss an opinion). paintball is fairly easy to get into if your just step up andask for advice.

Nah dude if you were shot with a gun that shot 600 fps or near it, the bb would probably puncture your skin. My friend was shot point blanc on accident by my other friend with only a 300 fps gun and he was bleeding badly and had huge welts all over his neck. The g&g gun would be a good gun to get. And if you actually played legitimate airsoft on a decent field the sniper would not hurt anyone badly from a good 50-75 feet away.

i have a echo 1 m4 and never had any problems with it. I havnt played airsoft for a couple years so I'm not really sure what has come out since, but if your looking for a cheaper gun I suggest echo1

I also recomend gettting a smart charger so you don't overcharge your batteries, cause that is a pain in the ass.
