Hey, is there anywhere or anyone that would be willin to sell, or know of a place that sells cheap guns A.E.G. The best gun i have found so far was a TM Boys M4A1 For $62. The only problem with this is that you cannot upgrade it, well u can puts its really hard, u can't use standard parts. See i don't wanna wait for a gun, i have to wait until summer when i start my job, and thats a full 3 mounts :.( Any ideas?!
Thanks

I wouldent count the boys m4 really as an aeg....but the cheapest would be a FAMAS or an mp5k maybe an uzi. These run about 180 dollars in china and liek 200 in america. Better off moving lawns int he neighborhood....

The boys is made by Tm, a good thing. It might be what you are looking for to get started. Its full auto, for 60 bucks who cares if it isnt upgradable? I didnt even know they sold for under 80, so go for it IMO.

I think the point I get from your post is that you're a smart-***. Perhaps waiting until you can behave in a mature manner would be in order.
If you want an AEG that can be upgraded and still remain relatively reliable, you're going to have to invest a minimum of $200. Add to that a battery, a spare magazine, a reliable charger and you are still going to spend roughly $350.
The lowest stateside price I have seen on TM's Boys Rifle is around $90. After S&H, you're gonna spend at least $115. Yes, it is technically an AEG in much the same way that a 400Mhz Celeron Computer with Broadband is a gaming computer. Yes, you can compete with less than what has become standard, but will require skill that, quite frankly, most new players just don't have.
Look at it from this perspective: Michael Jordan vs. my son - MJ beats the crap out of him. Tie MJ's hand behind his back and tie his shoe lces together and you have an excellent stepping stone to make your layups. The Boys' Rifle may have an edge over regular springers and minis, but against standard AEGs, you will be at a distinct disadvantage akin.
I could see an experienced vet maybe being able to compete with a majority armed with even stock AEGs.
You can do anything you want, but if you want to compete on the same level, you're gonna have to pony up some cash and buy a regular AEG.
As far as where to find what you're looking for, check out the Links section, shop around, read some reviews, ask some questions, and make your decision. If you're looking for handout, try the Salvation Army.

Bottom line here, Just face the fact that your going to have to spend a lot of money on a NEW aeg. In my opinion its going to be well over $250. If you want a used aeg check out all the different auction sites. (ebay, airsoftplayers, airsoftretreat, our on auctions section....)
It comes with the territory, aeg's are not cheap. Please Read the Newbie FAQ there's excellent material that covers this exact topic.

Allright thans for the responses.... I was just wondering if the gun was worth spending 100 dollars on. After your review, it was excellent :P. Ill prolly get a reg TM M4A1, i guess ill have to wait a while before I can get it :.( But after reading ur reviews I think that its worth the money.. id rather spend my money on somfin good rather than waste it on a **** gun. Thanx
