I'm new to airsofting and I was thinking of saving for these two guns. One of them is an AEG and the other is a Spring.

Spring:http://www.airsplat.com/Items/AR-JLS-XM8-SM8B.htm

AEG( It's the Cyma AK-47 RIS Fullstock near the middle of the whole page):http://www.airsoftatlanta.com/aeg.htm#CA

Which one should I get?

You are definitely gunna want to get the Cyma AK-47. That was my first airsoft gun. The rate of fire, FPS, and upgradeability are all very good for a starter gun. I still use mine to this day every once In a while and it has never let me down.

Shweet. Is AirsoftAtlanta a good website to order from?

Ya I've heard alot of praise about that site. I don't personally have any experience with it though (I'm out in California so Airsoft GI is my pick). You'll get more info on it tomorrow when people sign on to Airsoft Allies. I'm just the nightman

Ahh, I live in California too man! Hmm, I haven't heard of Airsoft GI, is it reliable?

VERY! I would say it is the best airsoft site in the US! Thats where I get most of my stuff and I have never experienced/heard of any problems. I love that place with a passion. If you live in California, you'll have to pay/wait a bit extra if you buy from Atlanta.

Website:
www.airsoftgi.com

It's great.

Oh, I've been to this webiste. Didn't know it was in California though.

Oh yeah! It's in Walnut. Here are some people's thoughts on the store:

I would say, Airsoft GI and Evike would be the best places to buy from. Avoid airsplat at all costs!

Ahh, woah for a second I thought you said it was in Walnut Creek, and I was like WOAH!. Then I saw it said Walnut and that's like SoCal, so that's like 6 hours from me. Oh well.

Ya haha. Their web services are second to none. I guarantee if you buy from there, you wont regret it at all. They sponsor my team actually. The main store is just a few miles away from me so I'm always hanging out around there.

Ahhh, nice. Are there any Airsoft fields in California?

Oh ya theres alot. I'll post up fields and links in a sec...

Sweet, thanks!

Northern California:
Centurian's Airsoft - http://www.airsoftcenturions.com/
Sequoia Airsoft (BEST!) - http://www.sequoiaairsoft.com/
Various Fields - http://www.gamepod.com/catalog/airsoft_fields.php
Aku Airsoft - http://www.meetup.com/galtfield/

Thats all I know of off the top of my head...maybe do a google search.[/left]

Cool, thanks!

Don't start as a sniper/marksman/whatever it will most likely get you no where get used to AEG's how they shoot , get used to being pelted then you can use that knowledge of AEG's against them as a sniper

I see.

Yeah go with a cloner AEG for example Echo 1/ JG/ Dboys or a Sportline from CA or G&G

True, you should really start out as a rifleman, not a sniper.

Okay, thanks!

Exactly my point!

Why avoid airsplat?

Apparently Airsplat has horrible customer service and bad quality products.

Others and I have had experiences where they mail half my order...but charge full...and you never get the missing goods even after months of emailing them and calling. Just trust me, stay away from that company.

Sounds redonkulous.
