Hey everyone. I am pretty new to Airsoft. I sort of want to have some backyard wars with my friends now, because I have a Colt 1911 spring pistol, and my friend was talking about how he has wars with his sniper. I wanna get a primary weapon. I probably can't afford anything over 50$. So I don't know what would be good.
Everyone says to get like a TM gun, but how could I afford that? There are a TON of cheap guns out there, and I usually have good luck with things that people say "break within the first 2 days".
I also don't get why shotguns can't be primary. They shoot hard (most of them) and what else you need. I know that AEGs are usually primary, but I can't seem to afford the good ones.
So basically, here are my questions:
1) why cant you use a shotgun for primary.
2) Why not get a cheap AEG for backyard wars.
3) I doubt you can answer this but why would people just starting out get like a 200$ gun?
4) How old are all you people to be able to afford those $200 dollar guns?
Sorry if I am a newbie. I know I am am...
