    Mine was the same as yours, galaxy mp5k pdw from eirsoft. Great little aeg, traded it for a POS m4, just fell to bits in a few months and had nothing but problems with it.

    €40 springer shotgun from Eirsoft, only thing I have left of it is a little screwdriver that came with it to put the stock on..expensive screwdriver:pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,397 ✭✭✭MerryDespot


    CA MP5 Sportline - I know, I know...
    It didn't last long - replaced by a JG HK 416, which was a champion aeg (sold here on boards - hope it's still going strong)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,395 ✭✭✭Decoy


    1st pistol: KWA Glock 17 (less than a year ago)
    1st AEGs: Bought a G&G GR300 and CQB-S the same day. That was also less than a year ago and I've since sold both to fund other projects. I do miss the GR300, it really was a nice gun (I hope MerryDespot is looking after it well!)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,261 ✭✭✭Puding


    UK - TM Super 90 from airsoft dynamic ( no longer around), back then it cost more than a lot of aeg know but it was a 'cheap' entry into the hobby as i only had to buy shells

    Ireland - TM M14 from ehobbyasia


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,397 ✭✭✭MerryDespot


    (I hope MerryDespot is looking after it well!)

    I am indeed sir - despite the ever growing arsenal it still gets used fairly regularly. That was my first good aeg if memory serves...

    JG G36C. I've had it for 1 and a half years and it's still working.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,968 ✭✭✭TNTQ


    G&G M4A1 Plastica - still the best starter aeg out there... Thank you SHIVA for costing me about €50,000 so far ;)

    29320_363489997705_530432705_3337070_3677364_n.jpg

    Tm m3 super 90, still going strong after about 1.5yrs of dogs abuse.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 84 ✭✭ste.rst


    mine was a src m4 and kwa g17 glock bought from mia last month to be the first of many :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,066 ✭✭✭Washington Irving


    Kalash/ Dboys M4 CQB/R that I got from Eirsoft in May '09. Was replaced by a G&G HK416, which up until last week had never let me down.

    My first pistol was a KSC System 7 USP from Ehobby, which coincidentally is exactly one year old today :). It has recently been plagued with feeding issues however


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 486 ✭✭Vents


    1st. KSC 1911 bought from Whydave up in Drogheda a good while ago now.

    2nd. Star SA80 (can't remember the airsoft name) 2nd hand from boards.

    All the Airsoft devices I now own have come from boards and the refurbished and/or upgraded by myself.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,463 ✭✭✭Leftyflip


    Ah the days of the Dboys S-system which never worked right, anyone who skirmished with me last year will know! Still have it mind you, not an S-System any more though. Nothing except the gearbox shell and tappet plate is stock now, I love that gun...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,532 ✭✭✭Rooky1


    A well used ICS MP5 A5 with full stock, built in torch.
    Bought 2nd hand with gun bag, 4 hi cap mags and large 8.4v 3300mah battery.

    Bought 7 years ago from PEP-C,before Airsoft existed on Boards.
    We travelled up to Predator every couple of weeks!

    Sold the gun on to my best friend in the UK, who sold it on to his mate.
    The gun is still going strong.:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,778 ✭✭✭Sod'o swords


    Army l85, fell apart out of the box, followed by several guns which shared a similar fate. Obviously didn't phase me much, three years on i'm still here.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 454 ✭✭r0n0c


    TM P90 from redwolf, still have it. havent used it in a while though.

    1996 living in Denmark i bought a TM MP5 for absolutely crazy money DKK vs pounds add spare mag and battery ,
    was advised coming back i wasnt allowed to transport it back here sold it for a massive loss to my house mate,

    bought the same MP5 last year and sold it on here just wasnt the same


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,153 ✭✭✭✭Lemming


    CA Steyr AUG A1, wayyyyyyyy back in the day from liamo333. Roughly 6 months after airsoft was legalised in the republic.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,200 ✭✭✭J.D.R


    CA/Cybergun M4A1 CQBR - No end of trouble from it, but it's stil shooting (at the moment) after many many bags of BB's through it. Will never get rid of it.

    First pistol was a cheap non revolving gas revolver bought from MIA for 30 quid. When I still considered them Pellet guns and hadn't even heard of Airsoft. Oh how I've learned

    TM Sig 552 Commando.... :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,099 ✭✭✭Tommyboy71


    Classic Army MP5 SD6. Bought in January 2008. Still going (well, it will be when Masada gets done with it). Love it to bits.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 435 ✭✭Decky86


    Think mine was a walther p99 springer bought second hand up in Derry. My own first buy was a desert eagle springer and an m4 springer in a shop called 'trash' in Derry lol.

    First gbb was the sigma co2 . Crazy gun but like holding a brick


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 382 ✭✭touge_drift


    had a load of crappy springer's in my time but first propper airsoft gun for the purpose was a g&g gr15 raider


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,152 ✭✭✭Inari


    First gun was a KJW Taurus PT92 (Basically an M92FS with Taurus trades).

    First AEG - JG M4A1; cracking rifle - absolutely love it.

    PS: Cybergun M4A1 CQBR is, if memory serves, a DBoys, not Classic Army

    first gun was jg g36.ended up striping it down for spare and backup bits for my ca 8-2


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,902 ✭✭✭MagicIRL


    DBOYS SCAR-L - Still have it and getting it upgraded internally at the mo :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,893 ✭✭✭Dread-Lock


    Bought a Double Eagle UMP and a Army Glock 17 at the same time from RSOV over two years ago. Still have both and still working grand, although my UMP is in parts as I'm testing MOSFET's at the moment.

    Of course I've had those sh!tty springers before but I don't really count them as real airsoft guns.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 279 ✭✭Keegan


    Double Eagle UMP. Still have it with the thoughts of fixing it up.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,326 ✭✭✭Miscreant


    TM G3 SG1 for me. Got it from RedWolf and cost me an arm and a leg at the time. Airsoft had just become legal so I wanted to get something good. Never got any use out of it being more of a CQB man so I sold it earlier this year. It was still in the box with all of its labels on! I just loved looking at it though :D

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 208 ✭✭Gray


    First AEG Jing Jong MP5 SD5 about 18 months ago here on Boards still going strong but only use it now for CQB or as a backup.

    First pistol KJ Works CO2 Colt 1911A1 most realistic look/feel of any gbb I've used, also deadly accurate for a pistol:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,641 ✭✭✭zero19


    Cyma Sig 550 Springer and a random spring beretta bought in Spain, first legal irish AEG was a Both Elephant SL8 bought in 2006!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,596 ✭✭✭Stealthirl


    mine was a POS P90 i got in a small shop in the square in tallaght when it was legalised,never skermished with it but chronoed it for the 1st time a few months ago and it was 190s fps :eek: LOL

    The UTG m234 bolt action. (also known as the Steyr SSG) back in August/sept 06 when it all became legal.

    Don't have it anymore though. Swapped it for a PSP!

    What, not an xbox 360? I thought that was the official unit of airsoft trade currency!?! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,283 ✭✭✭Ross_Mahon


    Classic Army AK-47 from A.T.S, Still alive and working, But tends to switch from auto to single shot randomly even when changed.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,364 ✭✭✭Darth Phoenix


    Ares Tar-21......my first and favourite above all of my collection, have since upgraded it and its still going strong after a year:)....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 151 ✭✭Shanewalsh


    MP001 VSR-10 clone. Was not bad for the price. €89


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 589 ✭✭✭Beast ASI


    A Tanaka Kar98k.

    Best airsoft gun I've ever owned and probably the only gun that I've ever regretted selling.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,319 ✭✭✭deceit
