FPS doesn't effect accuracy that much, a tight-bore barrel and tuned hop-up will get you ranged accuracy better than increased FPS. I just installed an M4 length 6.01mm tight-bore in my G36K and the accuracy is a lot better, FPS went up by about 8-10 as well since there's less air bleed around the BB.

Still, anything that has the punch like the mp40 is just fine with me. AS long as it can go thru cardboard boxes like 3 then im fine (in and out). And yeah warsaw just saw the price of it, really not on my list anymore.

But now I'm going for an mp7, ak47, mp5, g36 or some sniper rifle with a good punch.

Why don't you guys post links too so I can have abit more of a wider look to see whats better and such?

While you are correct, I would like to point out that a higher fps lets you use a heavier BB over longer ranges, thus indirectly improving accuracy.

Also, you want links? Here are the two websites I buy all my airsoft gear from:

Airsoft GI

Evike

Check under Airsoft Guns > Automatic Electric > D-boys/CYMA/G&G for the fun stuff. The more expensive brands are VFC, Ares (STAR), Systema, and G&P. The brands to avoid are TSD, Classic Army, and Well (though Well's MP7 is good).

Fake E: Also, RealSword has some REALLY nice guns, but they run high. Personally, I want the SVD.

Ah, I never checked Airsoft GI around alot but I will now. Never heard of Evike thou...

Also here is my shitty arsenal.

The working ones


The semi working one (spring wont move a damn bit)


And the bone yard (broken everything almost, except for the uzi, something is wrong with the lock in thing)

Mind the dog, its stuffed.

Also I take care of my mp40

I want to get into this, but I want to know some things first..
What can you do in terms of camouflage? I would very much like to go human bush mode
Can you take advantage of natural high grounds? For example, can I climb a tree and stage ambushes or to get a good view for a shot or to scout?

Are you able to make your own equipment and not buy stuff? I am low on money.

The best airsoft is played in a random field with no organization and few rules, playing with good friends who are honest and sportsmanlike enough to concede when they get hit. All other forms of airsoft are no fun. PS: if your gun isn't held together via duct tape, your doing it wrong.

Hard to make your own gun; even if you make a receiver and all, you still need to get the internals. That is going to cost money.

As for the rest, you can do whatever the fuck you want. The only universal rules in airsoft are:

1. Wear eye protection
2. Call your hits

The bakelite on that MP40 is nuts. I mean, shit, the stuff does 'fade' to red with age and wear, but I don't think I've ever seen an MP40 that looked orange like that.

That sounds exactly like what we here in Canada frown upon, people playing on un-designated fields with few rules. It's even worse when it's being done by people under 18 since that's basically the community enforced rule. If someone were to call in a bunch of airsofters for "shooting each other in a field" RCMP ERT would show up and lock us up in a heart beat, we only play on designated fields by law and we almost al prefer the MilSim element of the game.

You could make your own ghillie suit fairly easily, but usually you still wear some kind of chest rig under it along with woodland camo or something. Here anything that's safe goes, if you determine that you can safely climb a tree and wait in ambush in a ghillie then it's good to go.

Private property included? That's a little harsh (unless they're all obviously kids).
