[Strife26]

I occasionally do some casual airsofting with friends. I just got my $300 dollar insurance payment for my old guns, so I'm in the market for something new.
Does anyone have any recomendations for airsoft weapons? I'm looking for something that's electric full auto thats sturdy and an FPS of somewhere between 300-400 FPS.

And if anyone knows where I could find an electric airsoft 1911.

I used to, but where I live now I cant. I would sort of recommend a Echo 1 AK-47. The only problem is mine jams often. Its 350 FPS IIRC.

[Idiom]

I'd try asking on an airsoft site.

[Strife26]

I prefer my isolationist stance to internet sites.

I was using the most awesome M16 at the local Air-base for JROTC camp. Sucker was full-auto and hit pretty hard. Just like the real thing, too. I was doing low-crawls through mud without problems.

[Cthulhu]

Don't M-16s jam really easily in the mud?

And anyway, airsoft is for babies.  Real men shoot each other with real guns.

[Strife26]

Not really. There aren't any guns (except maybe the AK's) that don't need to be cleaned. The M16 is a little more maintainance heavy, but not a lot. People who claim that the M16 is the worst rifle in the world are idiots.

[Sean Mirrsen]

I think there was an airsoft minigun somewhere...

And yeah, AK-47's are rather resilient. M-16's not the worst rifle in the world (I don't know if any rifle is "the worst" - even the M1 Garand is good despite being unreloadable), but it managed to acquire a rather negative image during some of the conflicts around the planet (or just one conflict).

[Asehujiko]

Garands being unreloadable is a myth too, you either push in half a clip instead of a full one or eject the previous one.

The "worst" rifle has to be one of the old muzzle loaders. Not  much more accurate then a musket while being heavier, clunkier and taking longer to reload while the archaic rifling was prone to cause jams and misfires and to top it off, it was very expensive.

[Strife26]

And you have to remember that the M1's contemporaries were bolt action.

The m1 is awesome.
The riflery squad at my school trains with them.

*ping!*

[Strife26]

Lucky bastard. Ours are all demilitirized. And they're making us replace them with fakes in a few years.


Still no help on the original subject though.

Your school has a gun club?  A school where I live expelled a kid for owning a gun.  He didn't even bring it to school.

[WorkerDrone]

...Wait, can they do that?

[Neonivek]

I don't know if any rifle is "the worst"

I believe it was World War 1 and the British had a Rifle so useless that they immediately traded it for German weapons first chance they got. (I may be getting nations confused) It also could stop working if it was raining.

It was the definition of mass produced in its worst connotation.

[WorkerDrone]

Is any nation really stupid enough to arm their soldiers with a utterly useless an unreliable weapon?

By all stakes, a soldier doesn't require the better weapon, the soldier merely requires a reliable weapon, and the skills to use it.

A weapon that falls apart in your hands, or isn't durable enough for normal weather in the target area for a campaign isn't a weapon at all, its a liability for the soldier who's armed with it.

The answer is yes, but I'd be damned to believe it without proof of it.
