I just got my first airsoft gun! I had lots of experience by playing with my friend's airsoft guns, and I finally got my own! It was a UTG AK-47 Paratrooper(which mean's it has a folding stock). In the end, I broke off the folding stock because it was pissing me off, and it turned out okay. But two bad things about it are that there are no RIS rails, so I can't mount a red-dot sight or anything like that on it, and it doesn't have a full stock, so I have to put in a smaller battery. The gun is really good for having battles in my basement because it is compact, but the small size is a trade-off, as I have stated. But you can't expect to have a luxurious gun for your first. Well, at least I can't. My rich friend (whose Dad buys him everything) got a three hundred dollar UTG M4 Carbine Commando, and he got two seventeen dollar bags of pellets, a thirty dollar red-dot scope, and a thirty-five dollar bi-pod for it. All together, he spent (no, his Dad spent) about four hundred and one dollars on his "package" while on my airsoft gun I spent about one hundred and fifteen dollars. But he has no physical capabilities, so I always either completely cream him in battles or make him surrender out of all his pain. :)
