Ouch, man, I never knew the UK was so dang strict...
Feel for ye' mate, I really do. Jus' means I'm stickin with the USA standards for now, and dont bash a spring pistol.
My old Spring M9 (that cost me 29.99$ US) is a higher quality weapon than my AEP M9 or my Mauser C-96 C02 (costing 99.99$ US and 156.99$ US respectively) Bought at my local sporting goods store.

not that strict in my opinion. beats a red tip any day, not exactly bashing them but they are pretty useless in anything more than backyard matches

Not true. Me and a few of my friends (in the uk) all own airsoft guns (2 tone or clear) and take them down to the woods, in a remote location where barely anyboy goes.

We get by there ok... Occasional scarpering as sirens get too close for comfort... you get the idea.

carrying an airsoft gun in a public place without good reason or on private property while trepassing wil net you around 6 years in the nick... just a heads up

My Friend's dad owns it... he has a lotta land :-)

I liked your guide as a whole. i'm a huge airsoft fan as well! the only things that i noticed were: i have been to different airsoft matches around the US, and most of the gun fps limits are somewhere between 350-450 for AEGs. also, there is a lot more to consider when buyin your first "real" airsoft gun i got an MP5 because i love CQB, but potential upgrades, and reliablility are a huge factor as well. i think that it is a good idea to get a gun that will fit your mission, e.g. M16s are great for longer range combat, and P90s not so much.

note how i state its based on UK airsoft... and as for using an mp5 for cqb, ive seen mp5's match sniper ranges and p90's outrange m4's its all in the setup

cool guide. I'm a big airsoft fan myself. With that whole mask thing I think you're right because I always find my self hitting people in the head and once my friend unloaded on me with two pistols because I shot him in the head with my 370fps AK.
