My strongest piece of advice to anyone new is to physically go a store and actually hold a gun and see if the ergonomics agree with you or if you have a buddy who has a something you'd like, ask them to plink with it between a game at a range. I know some folks who actually didn't like rails as they (at the time) couldn't afford covers and it would dig into their hands. Or for bullpups, they have a LOT to offer (longer barrel/shorter presentation, uniqueness, some really solid gearboxes even if the line hasn't been updated in a bit) but some bullpups feel significantly different between models. F2000's feel like cradling a baby in both the best and (in my opinion) bad way. It's a little backheavier than let's say an AUG or Famas which are more myspeed. Same goes for AK fans. Are you comfortable with the fire selector, does the overall profile "feel right", does a folding stock feel right? As always with all of them, how does your mask/helmet/face protection do with aiming (even though, a stream a bb's is visible from a shooter's end). If possible try to round a corner, sling it, just kinda monkey around with it because you might find something you might not like. For me the M16A3 was wayyy too bulky for my first gun and I was JUST thinking about velocity and barrel length's perks. Have fun, folks.

to bad evike constantly has been raising the prices on everything to the point that a cyma cost just as much as a E&L ak

A note for players who will be using a full face mask when playing: take note of the distance between the top of the stock and the sight placement, as often you won't have enough space to properly look down the sights with a mask on. Some platforms, like an AK with a buffer tube stock, have more distance between the top of the stock and the sights which makes them much more comfortable to aim with full face protection.

I actually got a set of Calico Jack rifles for my brother and I, they're working like champs so far. Accurate, reliable, sturdy, great for his first gun and my first M4 after running AKs for so long

I said screw it and bought the Silverback SRS 16 inch as my first. I liked it initially but figured out that the stock hopup is a pain so I went for a full upgrade on it. I went with a Stalker Morpheus Barrel at 455mm, Stalker Kraken Ultimate hop chamber, the Stalker 70 degree bucking and a rapax spring from Skirmshop. It shoots amazingly and I cant complain about it at all. Overall, the price for the upgrades costs about $215 before shipping. The average cost of a fully upgraded VSR generally runs about $1000 and with just adding a spring onto the cost for the upgrades, you would be looking at roughly $1000. If you want some adjustability to it, spend about $15 on the Silverback airbrake piston cup or spend a good bit more and get the Silverback VMP. I got all of it so my overall cost with the scope, Silverback Muzzle Brake, Silverback QD Suppressor and the Silverback foam baffles, I am looking at an overall cost of about $1200 or but the gun shoot amazingly, rigid as all get out and I really think that it is worth the money just not as a first sniper. I would recommend getting something like the AS02 to start with and put about $200-$300 into it with a barrel, hop unit(or keep it stock, I've heard that the AA isnt always the best), good bucking and nub combo, upgraded cylinder(try to get a one piece as the stock isnt the best as the back is only held in by one pin unless they did a redesign) and I would definitely get the Action Army hop adjuster. All in all, you can have a lot of fun with a rifle that is about half the price but you dont get it quite as compact, higher cylinder volume and most likely decreased range(I did see a huge bump in range with the Stalker Morpheus barrel in my SRS so I would give that a try). Each sniper has it's place and the SRS is good for it's accuracy and being able to make it really quiet but the Strikers in the long run, are more favorable to an hpa user due to cylinder volume.

I started with a double eagle m56a, it's a full stock cqb marui super 90 clone, they're usually about $45, ran it for years before the stock snapped off. Now I have both a full metal cyma 870 short barrel and a fabarm stf12. I freaking love the old tri shots

300 or less buddy I can’t go above 160😭

Awesome video Matt! Always enjoy watching, keep up the good work.

remember to all airsoft beginners or people who want to start it. Eye and face protection is super important. Trust me, it hurts. don't get cheap face protection. I like to use a paintball mask but you can use goggles and a lower mesh mask that fits together WITHOUT GAPS. watch videos and look it up

Warning for the people who want to buy the EF 1911, the magazines are honestly quite pricey, often times out of stock and leak REALLY easily. Overall GBB's (Gas Blow Backs) are always expensive in several ways. Another note for the younger people who want to buy springer shotguns, the springs for the pumps are really stiff out of the box which is to be expected so it might turn some people away, I guess you could say the same about snipers and being hard to rack the bolt.

Matt’s voice is it’s own ASMR

“Budget of 300$” boi i aint that rich

CYMA M4 and WE M9 were my first. Then a CYMA tri shot then a CYMA AK. Have an ASG CZ P-09 on the way right now too

Here's a life hack for people who often switch between indoor and outdoor: Own 2 different guns

6:48 I have this gun and highly recommend it right out of the box shooting 380ish but super crisp trigger response and decent weight. Overall if you want a decently priced AR and decent specs I’d highly recommend it

For my first beginner AEG I got a agm mp44, after having it for a long time I upgraded it, and made it into a beast, my big brother friend's are scared of the sound of it, they said it sounds like a mg 42

While I do not have any problems with an AUG on the list. But keep in mind if your field rules. Semi Auto on the aug is a bit goofy and you can accidentally go full auto.

Just bought one and this comes out right as it arrives

9:32 Steyr Aug is the best! 🔥😁

I love my m249 cybergun feather weight it's an awsome LMG and I would recommend it to anyone but it is only sold for under 300$ but it doesn't come with a battery (average cost 20$) and to improve your airsoft experience a box mag is the best way to make an LMG even more AWSOME! (Average cost 50$) so my point is that it is very likely that you will end up spending around and probably above 300$ PS the a and k box mag is very fragile (I ended up fixing it 3-5 times) so I highly recommend the one and only cybergun battery operated auto winding box mag

I love your videos and you have lit a flame for airsoft

I’ve been considering that cybergun m249 featherweight for a long time, but my local field is indoors! 😭

Yesterday i bought the Lancer tactical LT-18 GEN2 | MK18 | Lancer Tactical As my first airsoft rifle.

When is San Antonio Texas is going to have a Eivke store we need one 😢

If you would like an AUG i would suggest a Snow Wolf rather than a JG just because the selector switch is actually three stages as well as it performed great right as i got it. I believe they have under $150(american) models.

I know I may get some hate for this but I think the ssr4 is actually a decent option, quick change spring and relatively easy to replace parts and decent accuracy out of the box

If your getting a specna get one of the 2.0 edge range. About 100 quid more but better motor, flat hop, aster mosfet and the best quick change spring on the market.

This was just what I needed! Thank you so much! :)

Man it’s only been 7 days since this video went live, and the Specna Arms M4 went from 135 to 199 :(

For a First gun for people WHO live for example in Austria or Germany, where guns May Not shoot over 0,5 Joule, i highly recommend the novritsvh sse 18

For my first gun I went with the Elite Froce H8R gen II. I love it so far but I have't seen any "action" yet.

how do i convince my parents to buy my a 104$ airsoft gun? it seems really ambitious even though i know they can afford it easily

Holy crap the MP5 looks AMAZING

3:13 “classic M4” 😂 😂 lol

need that jg t3-k1 it looks sick

I just ordered a Calico jack! I went with the Black SBR M4 stock, 400fps version! I am very excited!

Wow you guys really jacked the price of the ak-105, 194 to 221!

I haven’t started airsoft yet but I don’t like how the muzzles of the gun are orange I think that’s what the front of the gun is called is there a way to remove that? And get a different and more realistic color?

No airsoft shops here in central NY I think Evike should open a store and a field here that way people can come to the store to handle the airsoft guns to see if it's too heavy or just what they are looking for and a field to get some action. Also a place to have their airsoft guns serviced or fixed would be nice too...not everyone knows how to work on their own guns.

You say it's 130, the website says 199. This video was posted today, really wonder what's going on there... HMM...

We’re not going to talk about the Dragonov in the background

Budget under 300$- -Novritsch making products 299$

Note: Basically anything CYMA Platinum is good. The regular M4, the AR-47, even the M16A1. They’re great beginner guns.

great video, very informational as a beginner and a fan of M4s

That Die Hard reference just hit differently.

I’ll be back soon Evike!🖤✌️

Will there be a top 10 “SMG” category video to be made soon?

this is a great video i have found items in total of 331 usd for a full loadout on your website thanks for making this video it helped me alot

I’ve spent almost $800 bucks on my Airsoft gear, I have the lancer tactical gen 3 m4 and 5 mags a plate carrier battle belt a battle belt and everything you can imagine. I got my cloths at a military surplus and some nice boots from the store 5:11 I’m use them for camping and hiking to. I’m going to get a pistol probably a 1911. So I’m spending a little over $1000 it’s not to bad. 👌🏼I really like the lancer tactical new Gen.

i feel like you should of included the HK416 its only about $100 and comes with a battery and charger. Sure its not the best build quality but its amazing for the price.

Question : how many rounds does an electric gun hold? Because in another video somebody said that most gas mags hold only 30 rounds and only "elite" hold for 250 - 350 rounds. Second question : Should I buy in general a gas gun or an electric one?

Can't wait until 16. Can't legally play on a team until then (btw this really helped. Found a great setup for a little under 265$)

I love how airsoft shirt uses the A from avengers xd

I never see any videos for kids/ smaller people, which can limit my choices even more. I would love to see a video on small/ cqb replicate, great video tho 👌

I took myself an rpk 16 since it wasn't too heavy, took a mag that was straight and not rounded one since they didnt sell round mag at the shop and rpk 16 would jam less than a m4

The G36c bring it back

It's like this is great for beginners then starts spitting out all these therms I have never heard off

Ordered my kid a calico jack for his birthday. Thanks Evike.

I prefer to call m4s standard issue rather than budget guns

With the costs of everything, you may aswell buy a Krytac and save yourself a headache

FFS went the first time today after a friend annoyed me for months to come...and now I love it! I already have MTB riding that's expensive enough without Airsoft aswell 🤣 Why are fun hobbies so expensive 🤣😣😭

1 word, M4

Matrix calico jack is in my opinion for the best beginner air soft gun

I am 13 and love the Doe Hard reference😂😂😂

What a great vide- BRUH I FIND SOME THAT ARE LIKE $25 😭

I really liked the scorpion evo so my choice was mode very quickly (cus there’s only one company makin it(asg))

BrUH, I just bought the calico Jack polymer body and it's Formidable 😎😎😎

"16 or so, which is a nice *square* number"

Why are you recommending these for basic starters when some of these are almost over $300 and I am still only trying to spend 500 on a load out and everything I mean a pistol, A.R. body armor, two extra mags, all of that and an AR a loan that you’re recommending is not $198 and stuff they’re more like 280 something dollars

number six looks like a steyr aug

So with all this I’m guess that airsoft starter kit for like 400 isn’t worth it then ? It comes with a nice aeg from umbrella with 2 mags and and two batteries with the charger

dang i just looked up the closest airsoft supply to me and it was you guys. gota stop by sometime!

I can highly recommend the begadi cyma nova mk18 gen5

I loved airsoft back then Wish I could get rid of most of my gear.

Weird thing, but I noticed me and Matt have the same watch.

We need Evike in Central NY...there is no store here that you can check out products and decide what fits.

Great recommendations, going with the Cyma platinum m4 qbs

Hans Gruber? That's a Die Hard reference. "Welcome to the party, pal." - John Mcclain

I’m surprised you didn’t talk about the King Arms M4 Striker.

"TWO WORLD WARS AND 1 WORLD CUP"

Thinking of getting a couple guns and attachments to get a few for the guns I wanna use before I start playing but still looking forward to it

What if I like historical firearms?

i was going to buy a 1911 from elite force, but i spent 6 grand on gear and havent regretted it... except the bank as they are panicking on why im overdraft 6000 dollars

Man it’s now $200😢 the first one will it go on a sale at any time before Christmas

Next nsrt hopefully I make it

Evike Dallas Outpost please, we need a legit arena. thank you, have a great day.

good i was worried this was an m4 only video, to me i like to be a little different and not have the same gun everyone else has

"Under $300", I like the way you think!

For my first Airsoft gun I wanna get something small like a pocket pistol

Hans Grubner is the lucky guy that McLain said Yippee Ki Ya to hahahaha

Sorry Matt it’s MP5K with the folding stock for me

Personally for beginner I recommend my first a cyma cm.508

wish i could find an affordable MP40 for sale it's the gun i desire most

This video be like #1 M4 #2 M4 #3 M4 #4 M4

the first one is not any where online

There are 2 type of people: 1. People who think die hard is a Christmas movie 2. Those who are wrong 🤣🤣

OK, show the battery package that you can buy for $220 on the battery that they send you doesn’t fit I don’t think I’ve tried multiple times can you make a video on this gun

1st gun was $135 a year ago. Now it's $200 and sold out.

He has a svd from call of duty mobile in the background

I want to get an airsoft sniper rifle..I am a beginner what do you recommend?
