id get a cyma ak, i have 3 of them and they are good reliable guns with good range out of the box.
as for pistols get one of the kj works models, there are a few to choose from.

Have you played before? If not, go to a skirmish and rent the gear for the day. You might decide its not for you and then you'll only have spent €50 on renting equipment for a day instead of multiples of that on an aeg and a pistol that you'll then sell on for a lot less than you paid for them.

Cyma are a good starter gun but I prefer G&G myself, of which Hobby have a lot of different models from M4's to MP5's. As for pistols, Marui are the best IMO but not cheap.

If you want an m4, get the cyma m4 carbine or cqb. I currently own 2 carbines, cant recommend them enough. Carbine retails around 220, cqbr for 250.

If you want an ak get the cyma ak spetznaz, or there are a few other models from cyma aswell. Retails around 150 for the spetz

if u are getting a pistol the Kwc 1911a1 is probobly the best contendor for a starter pistol.retails around 140


honestly if your new theres no point in splashing out on tokyo marui or even some of the high end g&g.
All of the above are great reliable guns with good performance without breaking the bank.

That's what I meant. Go and rent a gun first to see if it's for you. I've bought second hand guns (that were in "new" condition) quite cheaply as they were only used once or twice by their owners who then decided airsoft wasn't for them.

If you do then decide you like getting shot at, then I'd recommend checking out the adverts section of this forum where you can pick up some great bargains at half the price you'd pay for a new gun. I've saved hundreds buying second hand guns that are in pristine condition but at a fraction of what they retail for when new, e.g my Marui M14 was €540 new and I paid just €150 for it, my G&G Raider was €220 new and I got it for €90. Good makes at a lot less than a new Cyma!
