And which 'airsoft gun' would that be?
The Dragunov? the 4 grand Mini-gun?
Not looking for a grudge match here but people ask for advice and may get get the impression that unless they spend a fortune on a 'proper' AR clone everyone will sneer at them. A club I frequent occasionally has a preponderance of Lantac, CMMG etc. primarily because newbies are made to feel that they need to spend £1500-2000 or more to be competitive and look good. On comp nights I am the only one who turns up with a 15-22 (although there are a few quirky types with 10-22's) and cheap ammo (Blazer) which it pumps out reliably and accurately. No issues or breakages to report.
Gun snobbery not a good thing.
