1)Should I wait until I am able to gain access to the buy and sell sections of this forum? Do they have really good deals?
2)The cheapest gun on 007 is the Academy L85 A1 for 400 bucks...not sure if it is worth it...looks like a really good gun and looks pretty cool too
3)Can a Kraken compete with other airsoft models in a airsoft event?

Thank you all again...

A Kraken is a good starting point and can hold up in a game provided you know what you're doing.

The buy and sell section contains both new and used guns. In some cases depending on what you want you could find already upgraded in the buy/sell section. A really good deal is opinion based, its pretty much a free market in there, people can charge what they want. Others who dont like it, dont have to pay for it.

The Academy L85, dont be decieved by looks. Something can look cool but still suck ass. Just like that hot chick on the street, with enough injections and surgerys, after post op you would never know she was originally a man.
I googled for you, consider this a freebee. Next time I harvest at testicle.

Next time you may want to poke around yourself. From this review I have posted, its nothing spectacular. Save your money, get something else.

Krakens. Where to start....hmmm I guess I'll be taking that testicle now.
Heres an existing thread on Krakens with some info.

Krakens are a decent investment, a change of the hopup a little bit of degreasings, change a part here or there, coat of paint and you have yourself a decent field gun thats solid and reliable. If you like the AK look that is. Me Im not a big fan. Read the link, it will help.

Well thank you WOLF and Tokyo Seven once again for the useful advice...
I will do a little more reasearch before I post a question next time...I WANNA KEEP MY TESTICLES!

[TokyoSeven]

I want the left one.

[Armandhammer]

Yikes...um why the left one lol?

[TokyoSeven]

I'll let you decide what one and I'll even let you pick the device used to remove it

A) A Spoon
B) A broken beer bottle

[Armandhammer]

Um...this reminds me of Pain Olympics...
If I had to chose...It would be the beer bottle lol?

save up and spend a little more on a G&P you'll never regret it, I have 6 including the very first G&P CQBR, the money you would spend fixing or upgrading even a Tokyo Marui could be better spent on a G&P.
The inconsistency of China made guns even though their price is hard to beat have turn off a lot of people they are like when Classic army first came out with their complete AEG lots of problems, from wiring to shoddy assembly and construction (screw holes don't match etc.)

[Armandhammer]

Thank you for the advice Wildcard...I am still debating what airsoft company I should buy from though

[Armandhammer]

How did you act and play during your very first airsoft event? Were you nervous? How many people did you "hit" that day?

Thanks...

I own alot of JG,s and have no probs with any of them . They are good for newbs . Because if you don,t like the sport your not out that much and you can upgrade them!
