Heres the deal. Im brand new to airsoft right? Now should i buy a cheap 50 dollar airsoft gun and see if i like the game or save up and go for the 150 range? i used to play paintball so im thinking i might like it.

You should save up.

If you played paintball and liked it then I suggest you save up your money. You were right, $150 is a good limit for a starter gun, no need to go spending $300 on your first rifle.

Some decent guns in that range are the Echo1 G36 (click here) or any CYMA replica (click here)

a good gun for only 110 dollars is a JG mp5 or as drummer said the CYMA series have great guns though i wouldnt recommend anything aside from their ak's

I recommend the Echo 1 G36C as well. I have the JG, which is basically the Echo 1. (The only difference is better quality control, the name, and I believe a couple of internal parts that are better)

My JG has served me well, and in... 8 months? of hard use, I've only had one thing break, which was the anti-reversal spring. Not a major problem. The G36C is durable, wobble free, and a tough piece of equipment I can proudly say I own. I am very rough on all of my stuff, ranging from knives to body armor to all my other crap, haha. I guarantee you, you will not be disappointed by the Echo 1 G36C.

I was very very deep into paintball before switching to airsoft so yeah if you liked paintball airsoft will probably only just be better. So, i vote for just saving up and getting a nice gun over having a cheap gun ruin your thoughts of airsoft.

As the others have said look into Echo 1 and CYMA they are really nice for the first gun buy. And CYMA AK's are pretty nice for the price yes.

yes. CYMA AKs are among the best AKs out there for half or even a fourth of the price of other AKs
