I haven’t played airsoft in ages. When I used to buy guns I usually never purchased online, unless it was bulk amounts of bbs. Try and find a local airsoft/paintball store and buy from them.
Walmart has a small selection, but their guns are kinda cheap. Sporting a goods stores such as â– â– â– â– â– or Sports Authority have a nicer selection than Walmart.
For the range problem you’re encountering just look around a for a gun you like, and check the FPS. Around 350fps goes a good distance, but starts to curve after about 40 or 50 yards. So I’d say 350+ is the way to go. Shotguns are usually made for close range, so they usually have great amounts of power, but don’t follow a straight line very well over far distances and loose tons of speed while flying far.
I had a Lancer Tactical before, but the Plastic housing was pretty weak and cracked. But yeah we all use goggles. I like to get up really close and move really fast when I play, that’s why I like shotguns.
