First GBB
« on: September 29, 2006, 02:58:59 AM »
Hey, I'm planning on getting my 1st GBB and I want a KWA/KSC glock but which glock will last me and be a good 1st time gun for a newbie like me?

Any KSC/KWA Glock model will last you a long time.

However, I would not recommend an "auto" Glock. Using full-auto on a gas sidearm causes unwanted strees and will evetually break the gun.
Auto Glocks still have a long life, but they are much shorter than that of any other semi-auto model.

I would recommend the 17. It is common, light, and it feels great.

I've gone through two full auto glocks, the first one died because I was a n00b and didn't know proper GBB care. The second one died because I lent it to friends who were even bigger n00bs than I was.

Glock 17s, and Glock 19s are both good choices. Depending on where you order from, most places have the "full metal" version of the glock, which has a metal slide and barrel, instead of plastic. The Glock 34s are also nice, minus the fact that none of them include a metal slide.

As mentioned earlier, the Glock 18C is going to break, and eventually only work in full auto. If you want a Glock26C, I haven't heard anything about those breaking and only firing in full auto.

Just about everything is a good choice, so no matter what you choose, you won't be disappointed.

Thanks for the help! I think I'll go with the Glock 19 it looks to be a bit more to my liking.

Is there any differenct between these 2 guns besides the price?

http://www.amazon.com/G19-Gas-Airsoft-B ... ting-goods

http://www.kapowwe.com/Merchant2/mercha ... y_Code=KWA

I think they are the same gun but I don't know what makes one $20 cheaper the the other.

I recommend you stick to a more well known dealer. Try airsoftgi.com, airsoftatlanta.com, or airsoftextreme.com for US retailers, or WGCshop, Boomarms, DenTrinity, and UnCompany for overseas retailers.


(The picture from Kapowwe is that of a Glock 17, not a Glock 19. They might be morons, and advertise a Glock19, but when you order, you might recieve a Glock 17.)

KJW are the most reliable gbb's ive ever owned. Ive had four or five KJW's and never had any issues with them. Currently i am using the full metal Sig P226 and i couldnt be happier with it.

agreed, KWA is good and all... but KJW are simply at a higher level in terms of quality and realism. and usually less expensive

What kind of warranty's does airsoftgi.com, airsoftatlanta.com, or airsoftextreme.com have on their guns? I don't want to sink $150+ on a gun and not be able to get it replaced if something goes wrong.

any warranty will come in the package of the gun. the store wont carry the warranty, but the gun's manufacturer will. ull get it in the box, fill it out, mail it in... if there is one.
