Ha, I still have a couple of these in my attic. I had a battery operated SA80(HMAF gun) that held 600 pellets in a clip and could empty them all in about 8 seconds.

Oh what fun!

Whats the price range your looking at? I have a few id like to sell.

Most of the WW2 era guns are a bit pricy for a good one depends on what your doing with it. Theres some spring operated plastic ones fairly cheap. The real steal/ wood ones can go for $200 - $1000's.

Are you looking for something to target / backyard shooting? Or something match worthy?

Sure, google AGM M40 AEG.

I own 3 airsoft guns, but they are in the $ 450 range. (G3A3, M16A4, and a Dragunov SVD)

I've tried that airsoft gun, and it's pretty much for that low price!

I must admit that I don´t know what Airsoft is. What is BB?

I have a paintball gun, which I can´t recommend:
http://www.paintballshop24.de/product_i ... hwarz.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Two times it stopped working and I had to continue play with a rental gun.

You guys can play with these under age of 18? In Germany that would not be possible. They have to hide the playfields deep in the woods and there are many restrictions, if you want to open a playield. It is not allowed to shoot outside an playfield. Often Paintballers are described here as Nazis. Last year some politician wanted to stop paintball in total everywhere in Germany by law :(

Alex havent you ever had a little rifle that shoots little round balls? A BB is: in terms of the "firearm" a small metal sphere the diameter of which is less than a centimeter. For the purpose of this thread tho, the type of BB is for sport, these are small normally plastic balls, that shot at a relatively high velocity from model guns. Like miniature paintballs, with the same size gun. Airsoft is for REALISM though :mrgreen:
