Looking for new no budget gun
 
(Edit: You guys do know what a Systema M4A1 is right?? because if you know what that is then you would know i have a 1,000 budget plus maybe and extra 1,000 later in additional gear depending what load out i decide to go with. Quick note though im not buying all this crap now i have two years to get the things, 20% of what i make goes towards airsoft to get ready to spend i have one bank account for school and i keep my money in a safe place which i will use for spending for airsoft now instead of asking about different guns id like to know if any of you guys have seen a Systema M4A1 in Canada doesn't matter what variant it is)

Please don't tell me the classifieds or to get av'd because i'm two years too young to.

That would completely defeat the purpose or age verification. Not doing your research and asking for spoon feeding is already a step in the wrong direction.

Thing is, forum rules say that's all we're allowed to do for non-AV'd people and people posting outside of the non-AV'd sections. Sorry.

Janus July 27th, 2012 17:34

Then wait two years.

Strelok July 27th, 2012 17:51

Wait two years and save your parents money for school or a new car or something.

Check Walmart or Canadian Tire.
...
You asked. I'm "suggesting".

R.I.T.Z July 27th, 2012 19:11

What is your budget lets put it that way.
the minimum i'd suggest spending on a gun would be 250$ and thats for a half decent m4. King arms.

Danke July 27th, 2012 20:51

With a no limits budget and M4 it's either a PTW tricked out with Colt parts or an Inokatsu GBBR. Nothing more to say.

wildcard July 27th, 2012 22:02

with no limit budget - Complete FCC PTW
where to get them ?? - Google
Can you tell me?? - NO! wait till you are 18
I don't care about the age verification thingy that you guys have - Well too bad forum rules

BennyBoy July 27th, 2012 22:06

get a Echo1 Minigun, it's only about 4.5k

Fair amount of people have Systema weapons here in Canada... (check the Media section for a glimpse..)

Derpnation July 27th, 2012 22:45

OK thanks I'm really hoping on getting that in 2 years time only if they are still being made if not i will try to find another "Professional Training Weapon" to buy with the saved money. Thanks Peace out

Sure hope so!! i just want a 380Fps Ptw anything above is just not fun for other players in my opinion but i guess ill see in two years

J-Man19 July 27th, 2012 23:15

I love both of my PTWs. $1000 won't buy you one though. you're looking at 1400-1800 for just the gun unless you find a sweet deal on here.

L473ncy July 27th, 2012 23:52

$1.7K for a basic BNIB PTW in country. Then the mods and whatever else you want to do, it all adds up. Plus if you want real steel shit on your gun that's gonna cost s pretty penny. Although there is some real steel stuff you can find for pretty cheap, I see lots of KAC 7" drop in RAS kits for ~$150 when they go BNIB for ~$300.

Kozzie July 28th, 2012 00:08

I recomend a JG Thundermaul

That should leave you with lots left over for mags batteries and gear.

Wait until he is 18 then ask him to PM me, I will tell him where to get in country for 1k minus shipping, PayPal fee and tax.

Derpnation July 28th, 2012 11:29

Well i don't really care how much i spend on a gun, you really are paying for what you get so when it comes two years ill be buying a Ptw no matter what price as long as its new and not used. The gear i think ill save up for is pretty cheapish i think ill just get a combat shirt in drab and have a chest rig to cover up the middle and i'm not sure whether a to get a back pack or a hydration kit so it will probably run to around 1000$ at most but anyways ill stay on the site and talk here and there but ill see you guys in two years i hope

PTW's are expensive, look and feel nice, but they're certainly not the best as far as airsoft guns are concerned. I've seen WAY to many of them go down at games.

You haven't seen the new FCC PTW, my new 2012 M16 internals has been fully retrofitted with FCC parts, not only does it run better It's moisture proof and when compared to other 2012 it's quieter and the motor does not heat up like the new 2012. The thing that got me very dissapointed at Systema is their pride instead of admiting that they fucked up and made improvements on the 490 motor, their QC of late and the horrible electronics they launch the mad max version, WTF??? really do we need another potential problematic PTW that run at higher rpm and fps? No how about taking charge again and make your products better instead of launching hyped up version of teh old stuff.

That sounds much better.

I was always impressed with the externals and the feel of Systema guns. They're pretty wicked. I just saw way too many of them break down to, IMO, justify the cost. It's like owning a Jag... nice car, and you can always drive it... as long as you have two of them lol.

If Systema has fixed their reliability issues I may have to take a look at some of the newer models.

Thats pretty much why I am actually going to wait two years because hopefully by then they smarten the hell up, If not then who knows what ill aim to buy.

Edit: I don't want the Ptw because I am a fanboy and think its the best, I want a Ptw because it just is a kind of gun i want but in two years i can assure you it wont be my first gun so i can afford mags, gun rails and what not. personally all i'm going to be looking for in two years is a good M4 or C7. Ptw is not the best choice just a gun i will consider.

Danke July 29th, 2012 12:23

Never admitting a mistake and launching a tweaked version of a problematic item with some of the rough edges filed off is a very Japanese business model.

As for waiting to buy; that is the very best thing to do. You can't see the classifieds here but they are full of guns from people who got an AEG, had it sit under their bed for a few years and now that they're old enough to get in an organized game they're busy with school, or into cars, or discovered girls.

They're now selling this gun and trying to recover their cash. They have no network of friends who play since they never got to a game. The prices of new AEGs have dropped and in some cases what was a go to gun is now obsolete because someone else released a better version.

The super nice electric TM MP7 that was mainstay seller has now been replaced by the KWA MP7. I truly feel sorry for anyone trying to sell their expensive tweaked AEP now because no one wants one. No one at all. In two years time the gas TM MP7 might overshadow the KWA version.

If you're in the game and playing concerns like that might not bug you (but they probably will), but if you discover airsoft isn't for you or you move to a new town where there are no other players it will be a problem.

You'll just be another guy with no trader rating trying to pump out a ridiculous overpriced package deal begging for someone to buy it and put you out of your misery.

Systema hasn't really fixed the issue just cosmetic cures if you could even call them that, any issue that I have with my PTW has been eliminated by swapping the parts to a FCC unit so much so that almost none of PTW is stock anymore and the FCC stuff is so impressive that I dove in and purchased awhole complete PTW from them. I understand that to some this might be excessive for spending an additional $1.5K on a $1K toy gun but at least I know my shit will work when I need it.

To the OP sorry for the Thread jack but my only advice to you is wait on any impulse purchase, I know it's easier said than done but like Danke has said previously the tech in airsoft world evolve and within two years when you are actually of age who knows there might be something else that is better than the top of teh line stuff we have today.
