    Try throwing your TM m4 on the driveway and see what happens to it. :P

    MY OPINIONS:

    GUN:
    TM M16 Series

    *Why?
    -It's very common, and cheap. Parts are easy to come by, so if you like it alot, you can upgrade to better parts or whatever the hell you want later on.
    -Magazines are easy to find, and STAR mags, well, ten mags for $50? Not bad.

    GEAR:
    -Surplus store: Go buy some ALICE or other webgear. It's simple, and you should be able to put together a working setup with canteens, mag pouches, and a buttpack for under $60 bucks, at the most.

    That vest is a copy of the Blackhawk omega cross draw vest.A long as it is up to airsoft abuse quality wise, 40$ is hard to beat.

    But I personally am not of the opinion that a GBB should be in a newbs first loadout.
    For having a limited range, it simply isnt worth the money.Unless you really think you have to have one.
    I have carried Gbb's to so many games, and not used it.

    Also if your running low on money with your gun and gear, just get a simple $10 or $20 Spring Pistol as your back-up.

    i guess its more for 'show' and 'looks' having a side arm.

    I'd rather pay a little extra for a better AEG or some more gear.

    At my first game all I had was a TM M16A2 and a TM M9 and some ALICE gear.

    I got the M9 free, because my cousin gave it to me because he was joining the Corps. So yeah your second sentence about the better AEG and more gear sorta applies.

    scottie, you got a point there but there are some instances wherein a pistol would save your "life". well its only my opinion.

    at first what i did was i upgraded all my aeg's then finally bought a sidearm's.
