Cheap b*stard - what's the minimum I need?

    I'm an Airsoft newbie. I've played once at HRTA - great fun but way too far to travel without a car. Eventually an indoor Dublin based arena will open and I want to be prepared. Unfortunately I'm saving up to go to Australia for a year and am severely strapped for cash. Maximum budget covering everything is €200 or less. I'm a shortarse so long rifles (G3 etc) don't suit.

    Any ideas for the minimum I'd need (inc gun)? I'm not worried about camo gear, holders or any of that stuff - it's a waste for me. Something reliable, accurate and cheap would be nice!

    For less than €200 you'd get a decent clone/chinese brand AEG, they're much cheaper but normally very good quality.

    You really cant go wrong with the JG G36, probably one of the most well known and reliable chinese manufactured AEG you can buy, and only €160: http://www.eirsoft.ie/store/product_info.php?cPath=22_31&products_id=5

    Great looking rifle too, in my opinion, love the folding stock aswell.

    The gun itself is the absolute minimum you need, after that you get what you need as you need it. My first ever skirmish, I started off with a pair of black combats, a black t-shirt and my mp5 AEG, then over time I added more stuff, buying a black tactical vest and a few spare magazines, then a pistol and so forth and now my collection is a *reasonable* size.

    JG G36C would be a great choicehttp://www.eirsoft.ie/store/product_info.php?cPath=22_31&products_id=5

    dont forget to get a mask!!!! between this and the jg g36 you will be under your budget and the g36 can be used for both CQB and out in the open!
