I think this is starting to get off topic.

Any way, my dad would be more than happy to drive me, he loves airsoft almost as much as he loves me! He would like to join in on HEAT's activities.

Well come out to the next airsoft night, whenever it is.

Send Atlas or me a pm and we can meet with you, and your dad if you both want. I'm a strong advocate for Classic Army guns so that's what I usually suggest, but if your shooting for ~250 then a TM might be more in your range. That is really want a new one, if not, then a used CA could be in that range too.

why don't you try gat guns. they have airsoft guns there now. not a full a dealer. if you cant find a gun there, which odds are you won't, they can order one for you.

Hey, I was just shooting the my gun when i realized i could use a longer range gun. What's a good range for medium combat. I would really like to know this before i get my gun. thanks guys!

but we'll work out something soon.

m4

Any specifics that seem to work well?

tm, ca, or ics.

the same goes for ak's

They're all going to function similar, and have similar power output stock. Take a look at Admin's guide. It really is a great guide.

Again from what I've learned, range is dictated by power output, as well as hop-up.

hop-up mostly but it also depends on battery.

dont forget the spring. also longer barrel helps somewhat

thanks, ill be sure to chek the guide, and are any of you guys going to Summit Lakes this sunday because i would like to check out some of your guns, and we can also have are meeting thing.

Again, if you did just a little bit of research, you could find out these answers for yourself. We have a Game Attendance page that lists who on this site (if they are smart enough to use it) is going to an event. This Sunday's game is listed on there with the most updated list. However, if you already knew about that page and just didn't notice the event since it was added to the list today, then sorry for making you read this.

Even if we aren't there, plenty of players will be happy to brag about their guns and let you see what they are like; we've all been down that road before. Also, look for the host, Justin Brown, who runs the event and owns Combat Sport Supply so he will probably have some fun toys for you to try out.

Thanks guys, sorry to bother you all. I promise not to bother you guys any more with my pathetic questions. LOL. I can take it from here.

Dont think all questions are pathetic. Just look a little for youself and if you cant find anything and you are having a hard time with it, ask us.

But Classic Army has a very nice line up of M16/M4 varients that are nice.

^^^ and when you think about what you get CA's are fairly cost effective.

battery has nothing to do with range, or fps. it only affects the rof. it is the spring that pushes the piston which in turn pushes the air through the nozzle propelling the BB. if your battery is only strong enough to shoot 10BB/sec and fires 390fps and reach 150ft. it'll be the same if the battery can shoot 30BB/sec; it'll still be 390fps and 150ft.

Hop up and the spring will affect the range and, to a certain point, also affects accuracy.

There's a little bit of math in there, guys.


All TMF guns shoot well bellow 400fps, and yet we get 200ft killshots with ease.


It's a clever balance of FPS, bb brand and weight, hop up, and barrel type.

All the batteries do is give you power to turn the motor, which in some cases, more is not always better.

so whats the formula knight?

I'm not Knight, but I'd argue that it's about finding what's right for your gun. Through trial and error, I found what works best with my TM AK47, and it shoots very far. The fps is somewhere around 360 I believe, but it's possible I outrange most guns in my team's arsenal. (Sorry GR!)
