Spring gun Buyers Guide

[redphoenix14]

Looking for a spring gun? You have come to the right place. This will list guns you can get for the money that you have.

$0-$10: Crappster springer pistols that'll break in a day, usually made in China, and have NO WARRENTY

$11-$20: Next step up, these are O.K. springer pistols, just have to watch out for some of the deads. You can get a decent UHC spring pistol from shortyusa.com in this price range. UHC 1911, KWC P226.

UHC 1911 shoots powerfully (for a pistol) and is really easy to field strip. The only thing that I don't like is the grip saftey.

[/img]KWC P226, I own this pistol. It is made of all plastic, and usually shoots off to the sides. the handguard screws tend to come loose, and they strip easily, so when this happened I had to place new screws in. Not exactly what I was looking for, but what are u gonna get for 12 dollars at Sports Authority. lol


$21-$40: getting into some better, metal(er) spring pistols and and a hardballer shotgun from shorty. Desert Eagle .44 Magnum, Sig Sauer P230, Super Hardball II,Neonfire SPAS 12 V2.0 Airsoft Spring Shot Gun, TBig Bore 590 Full Stock.the rifles usually suck, but here the pistols are good. But sometimes sites can fool you into buying a spring pistol for more than 40 dollars, if a spring pistol costs that much then just buy a rifle, but this is only if you don't need a pistol, lol.

hardballer II, do not go with this shotgun. I have held and fired it before, it is a useless piece of crap. It is all plastic, is about 3 pounds or less, and has barely any power whatsoever. I do not reccommend this gun at all.
Desert Eagle Magnum, this is a great pistol for the price. It is made of medal, and houses a large magazine. 26 rounds (I think)
Neonfire SPAS 12, this gun is O.K. It is usually sorta weak, and it is made of all plastic, but shoots 3 bbs at once. That is the only good thing practicaly that this gun has.



$41-$60:now we are in rifles and some of the best springer pistols. The rifle in this range, I would most recommend would be the UHC MP5SD3. this rifle is solid as a tank. Has some good power to it as well. The TM HGHU (high grade with hop up) is one of the best pistols on the market. Also we have the Toystar M4A1. An excellent rifle for the price, with great power, and durablity.

Toystar M4A1

TM HGHU, this gun is full metal, and has very impressive power and durability, expensive at $50 for a pistol, but worth it.

UHC MP5 SD3




$61-$80:Now we can get into some good rifles. These rifles may be able to hack it up agansit AEG's but that mostly depends on your tactics. UHC Super 9 you are taking your chance here, it can be a lemon, or a good rifle, HFC XM17, HFC M16-A1, HFC L85, HFC M-16A2, DPMS M-16A1, Kalashnikov AK-47. I don't really like the HFC rifles, I would recommend the Ultra Grade DPMS A-15.

UHC Super 9 Version 2, It all depends on the above statement. If you get a lemon, your done for. The gun has an impressive stock range, but it has hardly any accuracy or power. How can it have good range, and bad power? You can SEE the bb right after it left the barrel to where it landed, the stock plastic, and has no trademarks whatsoever. The metal parts are the barrel, bolt, trigger guard, and the trigger.
HFC M16-A1
HFC L85, I have heard that these are not the best guns. My friend has one, and his barrel fell off, and the scope sucks. I haven't had much work with these, but my friends is ok, there is more medal in it than the S9, and has decent power.



$81-UP: These are usually the best rifles there are, sniper rifles, or good marksmen rifles. Here we have the
Thompson “Chicago Typewriter”,
Classic Army M24 SOCOM Airsoft Sniper Rifle,
VSR-10, APS2, Ultra Grade DPMS M16-A1, Maruzen CA870 CQB, or sawed off. I would recommend the VSR 10 for sniping, and the CA870 for a rifle. These are all good against AEG's and I recommend them all.

Maruzen CA870 CQB version
VSR 10 G-Spec
APS2 Type 96
DPMS M16-A1 (sorry about the size)


Hope this guide helped you out. Please feel free to give suggestions below.

Your prices are a bit off for some of the guns (You can get a UHC Super 9 for $45, UHC MP5 SD3 for $25, UHC 1911 for $10, ect.). Pretty good guide, but I disagree with some things.

But sometimes sites can fool you into buying a spring pistol for more than 40 dollars, if a spring pistol costs that much then just buy a rifle.

I disagree with this, the best spring pistols in my opinion are TM HGHUs, and they run around $50 shipped.

A little more detail would be nice, actually describe the guns themselves. You also forgot TM rifles, in my opinion second best to the Toystars.

Can you please tell me where you found those prices, I would really like to know, seriously lol. The cheapest that I had ever found a Super 9 is 65 dollars, and for the Mp5 $45, and for the UHC $11. Thank you for the critisism, this is what I was looking for, so i could mak it better. thanks ;D

What I meant from this statement is that if you can spend $40 for a pistol, what would be the point of buying a pistol when you could buy the mp5 for that much. And the Mp5 is a great gun. I have held and fired it, it is a TANK. and you can have a higher ROF with it, and it is more powerful. I meant that if you buy a $40 dollar or more pistol, it would (in my opinion) be better if you would just buy a rifle. But I guess that would be up to the buyer. I am sure if you spend $50 on a spring pistol, it will preform good, if you need a pistol. Thanks i will add the TM HGHU's.

[airshark]

Actually, TM HGHUs are great. I'd take one over a UHC MP5 any day.


Edit: How would you know, you've never even seen one in person before. lol ~rp14

Edit: Maybe I haven't, but I know they perform better than a UHC MP5. Now instead of editing how about you actually post? lol - Airshark

Edit: haha, i no they may perform better, but they don't have a higher ROF, which can sometimes save your life (by the way editing just to tick you off)~rp14

Blazing Toys, here's a direct link www.blazingtoys.com/bargains.html

From your guide - TM HGHU, this gun is full metal, and has very impressive power and durability, expensive at $50 for a pistol, but worth it.

That gun is nearly entirely plastic, just as their spring rifles are. They're still very high quality though.

I have heard that Super 9s are complete pieces of trash.

Some are some aren't. Super 9's just come right off the convier belt, one after another, and are never throughly checked by UHC. Sooo, you are taking a chance buying one. I have heard that by people on ASR (Harenil) it can peirce both sides of the coke can at 30'. So it is chance. You can get a lemon (which is what i got haha) or an actual good gun.

[spetsnaz]

I have heard more complaints than good things from other forums about them, so dont even try to take a chance of getting a good one - waste of time and money.

[swata4]

Super 9's are very powerful, but vs an aeg, ineffective... I know first hand.. My cuzin ... if he didnt hit me his 1st shot, before he could even think about pulling the bolt back, he had 3 rounds into him. It did break very quick tho

[redphoenix14]

lucky him, mine was a piece of trash, it was just plain horrible. But what can you say, I got a lemon.

[ghost457]

yeah UHC and HFC are not known for quality control, so ur taking a chance with either of them
