Well, this thread is for Newbies and i'm new here so hi everyone

[jranft]

I've been looking for a good gun for awhile and have 3 to choose between:

or
http://www.evike.com...oducts_id=32925
or
http://www.evike.com...oducts_id=28322

i play in a woods environment, and want something that can pull off those long shots with good accuracy and a decent ROF but won't shoot too hot for clearing bunkers and can easily be moved through tight places.

The first two are the same with different lengths. The third one is internally lower quality than the first two but has better externals. All three would be equally good and respectable purchases.

When you buy your gun, keep in mind that barrel quality matters more than barrel length for accuracy and consistency. That being said, both KWA and G&G products come with an (imo) equal quality 6.04mm tightbore barrel.

If you want to take it down to the nuts and bolts, one of the KWA's would be the best idea since it's more reliable in the gearbox. KWA's are great starter guns/guns for people who don't know how to maintain and repair their equipment.

[jranft]

Well, I know that the first 2 look alike, but on the product description they said that the longer one has a higher FPS, and the shorter has a higher ROF.

[J0KER]

I know, but you'll come to find after a year or so that airsoft retailer item descriptions are typically wrong. They have the same gearbox and ROF.

the first 2 are going to do about the exact same. there really is no difference between the SR7 and the SR10 other than length of barrel. personally i would go with the SR7, as it is a bit shorter, thus easier to manuver through the woods (im also not a big M16 style guy). as for internals they will be nearly the same and should last you a good long while (or at least long enough for you to learn how to service your guns), and there wont be too noticable a distinction in accuracy as you most likely will not be using either one to snipe rather long distances with (aside from the occasional pot-shot).

A fair warning however, KWA's tend to come out of the box shooting a bit hot (ive seen as far as 440-450 fps with .20 gram BB's), which is usually a no-no for automatic at fields. however if you can get it under 400, i would take the KWA's over the G&G

my $.02

(others feel free to POLITELY correct me if i am wrong, i am by no means a KWA expert)

From KWA's website:
KWA SR7: 330-350 FPS with 0.2 gram bb
KWA SR10: 390-410 FPS with 0.2 gram bb

I wouldn't know if these numbers hold across all SR7s and SR10s but SR10s on average shoot harder I would say.

As far as I know the SR7 is great for cqb/indoor fields or any place with a 350 FPS with 0.2 gram bb restriction because I am reasonably sure SR10s shoot harder each time compared to an SR7, both compared out of the box.

You might want to check with your field on rules regarding not shooting too hot for bunker clearing. The field I play at requires gas pistols/smgs shooting less than 350 fps with a 0.2 gram bb for inside building stuff, otherwise 400 fps with 0.2 gram bb outdoors. Many players regarding those types of rules opt to carry a gas pistol or otherwise lower FPS gun for those circumstances.

Please read the two posts above yours from people who have been teching airsoft guns for over three years.

I have a pretty decent sidearm it's the KWA USP full size Ns2 and it is within my fields fps limit for bunker clearing. I just don't want to keep having to switch to my pistol every time I go in close. I think I will go with the SR7. I sold my old GBBR to a friend and have enough money for that, an M203, and some grenades. I'm not sure witch will be better, a long or short type launcher. A long might look kinda funny on it, but I know that a short isn't compatible with some larger grenades such as the Madbull KIng grenade (204 rounds). I am a grenadier on my team, and understand that Higher capacity grenades are better,but don't want to go running around looking retarded because my m203 is huge compared to my gun. If someone could tell me how much a long type would stick past the edge of the flashider that would be a big help

[jranft]

Nevermind, I did the math myself. It should stick about 1 inch past the flashider. That wouldn't look too bad, would it? If it does, I guess I can just buy on one of these:

The SR7 uses a lower rated spring. KWA did this because it is marketed as a cqb gun. It fires sube 350. So yeah...

Here is a review with a chronograph test....

Had a discussion with someone about it via PM's, looks like my experiences might just be a little odd. Oh well.
