    That's an AK Tactical, Hobbyairsoft sell them you'll find them in the retailers section here. It takes standard 6mm bbs, the weight of the bb's is up to you..the most common weight would be 0.2g bbs. You'll need to buy some eye protection(goggles or mask) and boots.

    In regard to maintenace etc have a look at the Newbie thread in this forum and if you've any questions ask them and someone will help you out:)

    very good gun, and welcome to the sport . i use one of them . its an ak47
    tactical most good airsoft have them , hobby airsoft in rathcoole, saggart dublin
    have them in stock i belive get good quality bbs, 1 or 2 spare hi cap mags, you get 1 hi cap with it in the box, also try get a smart chager as stock chagers are not that good, i also recommend a good face mask , most shops have a maintenence service, if you clean your gun often enough you should
    be ok the main thing is to have fun and enjoy yourself

    I had one of those AKs a while back never had any problems with it
    It was got from Mid West Airsoft who are based in limerick

    thanks but i was looking for the tactical version like the one in the picture with the foregrip


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,752 ✭✭✭DeBurca


    That is the version I had its not on the website now but if you contact Tony who runs MWA I am sure he could get you one
    If you played in Inagh and used one of their AK rentals those AKs were supplied to the site by MWA
