mthom Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 I got my first aeg about six months after i first started playing with my friend's old springers. not that fun when everyone else has an aeg. Link to post Share on other sites
NuclearCrowbar Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 I have had my AEG for 2 years... And I have never owned a springer! hah! Link to post Share on other sites
Tripod Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 Waited about 2 or 3 months from the time I first handled an AEG to the time I bought my P90 and then bought my G3 2 months after that. Now I'm getting an Ak47... Link to post Share on other sites
sp00n Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 Got a springer, 3 months later had a TM P90 in my hands. Link to post Share on other sites
Xecuti0ner Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 I airsofted twice and then bought an AEG, an MP5 RAS. I was planning on buying a springer but I got such a good deal on the MP5 I couldn't resist. Link to post Share on other sites
billymak Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 Waited about 2 or 3 months from the time I first handled an AEG to the time I bought my P90 and then bought my G3 2 months after that. Now I'm getting an Ak47... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> nice choice of AEGs you got there, a varied choice. been playing with springers and NBBs since I was a wee lad of about 6-8 years. my first battery powered thing was an Uzi that fired 3rps running on 4 AA batteries. bought my first AEG 3 years ago - AKS horrible 2nd hand from war4. got my metal M9 at the same time.... mmmm HEY SLEDGE!!!! look!!!! mmmmetal M9~!!!!! getting my G3 (bloody shop keeper too lazy to quote me, now I'm leaving Hong Kong in 2 days!!! got to send dhl or something... ) Link to post Share on other sites
Bamse Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 well, i mean ... i got my first springer like 7 years before i started out with airsoft. I really dont count all those years of meaningless turding around as active airsofter years just because i really dont count a springer pistol as a part of a serious airsofters arsenal ) But, i bought my first AEG like almost 4 years ago so that's where my time-line starts Link to post Share on other sites
Azrael Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 I repaired hundreds upon hundreds of springers when I was an early teen, (I actually bought 100 broken guns and spring rifles when I was 18, and fixed all bar one that got used for parts) I got my firt aeg about 6 years ago, and now I'm 26, someone else can do the maths.

rhino Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 i started back in '98 and i've just bought my first AEG. Makes the wait worth it though. Link to post Share on other sites
R22Master Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 Blimey, have I been in to Airsoft the longest? I got my first springer in the late 1980's, and it was probably about 3 or 4 years before I got my first AEG. It was a TM XM177e2 that I bought in about late 1992, with a very plastic body, and no HOP-UP (HOP-UP units hadn't been invented then). I've still got it and it still skirmishes to this day, although the gearbox is broken in to two halves. Still works fine though So that means I've been an Airsoft collector for about 15 years, an Airsoft skirmisher for about 13 or 14 years, and an AEG owner for nearly 12 years! Darn, I'm getting old...

joeking27 Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 Went to my first Skirmish in June and have just got my first AEG, a beautiful p90. Did paintball a couple of times but it cost too much to spray. Now I have 10,000 bbs waiting to shot at Gretik. (shocking! he hasn't reregistered!) Link to post Share on other sites
Architect Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 I've been playing with springers for years, but only went to a skirmish last October. I was hooked. I rented 3 times and then got my AEG in March. I have now just bought my first GBB Link to post Share on other sites
kevair Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 I,ve skirmished up in sites in Northern Ireland once before and I've just got my first AEG, FAMAS all the way! I nearly actually bought a Spets but the problems in fitting an extended inner barrel were a serous turnoff!I might not have that much practical experience but I've collated as much info as I can(manuals, upgrade guides, 100s of reviews etc) so I can hold my own. All in all I've been at airsoft probably 2-3 months AND I AM HOOKED!! RE the pic: I'm only kiddin lads, I'm sure theres gonna be times in the future when I'll rely on yer experience, feel free to poke fun at the drawing hill.bmp Link to post Share on other sites
doc_newstead Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 I've just got my first GBB, about 9 months after getting my first springer (a gun I still love); it'll be a year or so yet before I think about getting my first AEG It'll be an M16 though, I can tell you that already. Actually, that's not strictly true. My very first springer was a cheapy SPAS 12 (in parts under my bed) I bought with some money from my 21st bday; over two years ago then.

Connery Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 My first AEG was/is my P90 TR that I got in May. That was my second gun (first was a ###### KWC P99 that died a few weeks later, so I don't really count it as my first gun ). Since then, I got two WA (one Infinity and one Wilson HiCap), one KJ Full Metal Beretta, and one KSC G26. However, I didn't see the need for four pistols, so I sold the Wilson and I'm trying to get rid of the Glock. Link to post Share on other sites
D313373R Posted September 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 so most of you got your fisrt aeg's pretty quick((sigh///)I'll never get and aeg(sigh.....)) Link to post Share on other sites
doc_newstead Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 Take heart man I don't want an AEG because I wouldn't use it enough to warrant having one. I've bought a laptop and about £600 worth of Army gear in the last year, and I really want an AEG, but it would just sit in my room lookingpretty and that's all. A GBB is still a lot o' fun Link to post Share on other sites
R22Master Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 It took me 3 or 4 years of springer ownership before I got my first AEG, but that's largely because AEGs hadn't been invented then Link to post Share on other sites
Castrensis.Animum Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 It took me 3 or 4 years of springer ownership before I got my first AEG, but that's largely because AEGs hadn't been invented then <{POST_SNAPBACK}> My answer starts the same way but I'm not that old. 3 or 4 years of springer ownership before I got my first AEG, but that's largely because I didn't know that AEG's exist, and when I was told... It was quite a job to talk my mothers head around to buy me an AK. Now I can say it was worth the efforts. It's a pity that my dear AK is being repaired, fortunately I could afford a backup GBB.

Kinch Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 I won a springer in a competition and had no idea what Airsoft was at the time. I spent a few weeks looking into Airsoft, ended up with about 7 after 6 months. My mum didn't like the idea so I waited till I moved out before going for the 'big guns'. Bought myself a Glock19 (sold to TaQ, is that my old Glock with all those mods on TaQ?),M92F and Samurai Edge (Barry Burton model). The Glock was sold as it was never used, the M92F was sold to someone at work (who is now a fellow Airsoft team member) and the collectors Sam Edge is safely stored in a locked box in my room. I then moved on to an AEG, around 18 months after getting my first springer. I guess there is no time limit as to when to get one. If you don't have the money you can rent them out or borrow them. --- Kinch Devil Corp Link to post Share on other sites
Connery Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 Kinch: That Glock in TaQs signature looks to me like either an 18C or a 23F. I'm pretty sure it's a 23F, but meh. Link to post Share on other sites
