Power does not corrupt. Fear corrupts... perhaps the fear of a loss of power.

I don;t play Airsoft as a sport, although I do like to shoot my spring-powered G13 pistol. It looks a bit like an M1911. The thing is, I've been having some technical problems: when I cock it, it 'fires' as soon as I've pulled the slide back. Can someone give me some help with fixing it?

Don't get a bolt Action sniper, get a AEG. as for which AEG to get, there are way to many to choose from.
I usually shop at airsoftGI because of the top notch support & Seller 15 day warranties(when manufacturers don't have one). For a new Airsofter, I would suggest a G&G Combat Machine M4. they are made from some durable polymer that makes it impossible to break from just a drop, plus they are only 140 for a non-blowback one(and you can get one wired to the rear or to the front) which is pretty great. For a pistol, I would suggest a 12g CO2 gun, way way WAY cheaper than green gas. And propane smells like balls.

Oh, and remember. Safety first, dont carry it out in public without a case EVER, and keep the orange tip on unless your at a arena that does not require it.
AND WEAR EYE PROTECTION.

Thanks for the link and advice, however, I live in RSA (South Africa)
So, I'll have a look for a cheap AEG.

No problem, just be sure to not get a TO cheap AEG, because if its really really cheap its going to have a plastic gearbox andd.....will only last like 20 seconds.

So which manufacturer should I preferably get it from?

I found this, as it seems to be somewhat of an ok-ish quality and is relatively cheap.

There is also this, but for a higher price...

Edit: Or this.

Also; can the GBB's or w/e be powered by a remote hose connected to a Co2 bottle?

Like a pistol or such?

k. JG is a typical Tokyo Marui clone manufacturer, their guns are ok, I havnt had much experience with them, but from other peoples views on them they make pretty durable starter guns. I have not heard of umarex so I wouldn't know much about them, other than they have officially licensed guns. CYMA guns are also a Tokyo Marui clone company, I know less about them than JG.

About GBBs, they use a thing called Green gas which is just propane with a nicer smell. for you, CO2 12g capsules might be better due to region of world and stuff. there are no GBBs that have tubes to external tanks afaik.

P.S. Also pistols are just for fun, never ever i saw someone using it effectively then AEG, just train to reaload faster :crazy:

I wouldn't agree with this right off. I'll admit that in most cases you don't need a pistol and I don't carry one, but that guy who is wearing no camo there uses his a lot because he can turn and aim a lot quicker with his pistol than he can with his rifle. But that said, it's really an accessory more than a necessity.

I usually buy from here. I don't mind waiting and the prices are good. Also everyone comes from the same place anyway, so if I buy from California, I'm just paying for the shipping from Hong Kong anyway. If they ship to South Africa, it'll probably be a good place to at least look at.

From what I hear, Cyma makes some pretty crappy guns. On top of that, I don't like AKs, so that's a negative for me at least.:P

The Umarex there is probably going to be your best bet out of those three. That's the airsoft licenser for H&K, the real makes of the G36, so when it says authentic, it probably will be. But it might be easier to start out with something without recoil.

Hope that helps.:)

EDIT: ARES produces all the Umarex stuff and just tags it with their logo. It's basically an ARES rifle. My brother actually owns a non-blowback version of that model and likes it. Hope that helps too.:)
