Hola everyone,
I got my first real airsoft gun a few weeks ago (A TM Thompson M1A1 I put in a kit.) Since then I've been looking around and was interested in getting into airsoft more seriously.
I'm looking to buy another gun to play around with, and possibly a group to skirmish with once I'm equipped. I've never actually played before, and am not sure what kind of gun to get [I'd like either a Steyr (TM or CA) or MP5J (TM)].
If you're fairly close to Montevallo and wouldn't mind helping out a complete novice, let me know. After I get the gun I'd like to give skirmishing a try.
Thanks, Benton

We play once a week in birmingham, with usually about 8-10 guys (more on a good weekend). We play in a field behind my house. I live like a rocks throw from Oak Mountian State Park, Really close to Oak Mountain High School if you know where that is. But if you ever want to come out and play with us one weekend, you can post on Steel City Airsoft's public board and let us know, and we will be glad to give you directions. Welcome to the Forums!

You should try to make this weekend. If you have never played airsof this should blow your mind! The TM AUG is discontinued but you might be able to buy it used but like frijoleluna said they are all good AEGs. If I had to buy another AEG new I would seriously look at a CA because they are already full metal and most come pre-upgraded to some degree. mateba

wow, thanks for all the responses. I know I can't make it this coming saturday, I had already made plans. I'll probably try and make it to Bham sometime soon though on a sunday.
As far as the guns, I originally wanted a CA military (green) steyr. After looking around I heard very good things and very bad things about them, so I'm iffy right now. I may go with the black marui steyr at some point and get a scope for it. My plan now is to get the MP5j first and wait on the steyr for a little while.
Thanks for all the info so far. -Benton

On the other hand rook never had a problem with his, the TM Steyrs may be discontinued but there are still a few on the store shelves.

If I had to do it over again....I would buy the gun i have. My beloved G&G L-85. Oh, how I love my baby gun.
If i was on a budget and had to do it over, um......i prob would buy a CA MP5. or something.
