well guys me and my friends all want to buy some airsoft guns.
Now i wanted to get a P90 or G36C, but i have NOOOO idea where to get them from, i was think about getting them from hobbytron.com but i dont know.
See i want the price range to be around $50, and i dont want a P90 thats fires like sh*t like the WELL P90(its a crappy airsoft gun)
if there isnt a P90 i can get for $50 thats shoots good and your cant shoot up with because its gravity powered for the magazine like the WELL P90 than tell me where i should get my G36C at.
I dont want them to have a FPS that can seriously hurt someone, just enough to hurt though

You will never find a P90 that is cheap and not an LPEG(low power electric gun). Most, if not all, LPEGs have weak plastic gears. MPEGs are what you want, but they cost more. Also, to get anything durable, DON'T BUY FROM JG. Their guns are expensive Chinese crap. Echo1 is essentially the same, but they have better quality control. 2 of my friends have an Echo1 G36c, and they have had no problems. A bit of useful advice: In the long run, no good gun is $50; and you will never find anything good in a store.

Well said ninja. Anything of quality worth buying is rarely inexpensive. Just like in computers You get what you pay for.

We have 2 Chicken Houses (no chickens in there). 1 on top of a hill and one on bottom. We get snipers and shoot each other back and forth. That is some great summer memories.

I do not know why you need a pellet gun but I recommend you go to Wal-Mart if $50.00 is you limit.

Making choices for yourself is the only freedom anyone really has.
Use that freedom.
Make your own choice, farquezy.

The first link gave me an error, but the third one looks like the best deal. Do note that the rifle does not appear to be an AEG, and a spring rifle can be very weak and slower to fire than a spring pistol. If you can reload quickly, get a good spring pistol, or a cheap gas pistol. The Crosman C11 is only $40, uses CO2, and is very powerful (mine chronographed at 420 fps).
Edit: check out sites like airsplat.com for a better variety, and if you find anything good, always run it past an experienced airsofter.

wait ninja thats what i was thinking about getting, but the second link i gave they said the gun is much better, and i dont know why the first one dont work, it wont work for me either
but if you dont think any of these are good, than what should i get.
whats a AEG rifle?but what i want is a Automatic gun, or at least semi automatic because i dont want to cock the gun every time before shooting it

AEG is an automatic electric gun, most seasoned players use them. The comments and ratings on Dick's are usually made by those who have not used better equipment. The main reason I reccomend a gas pistol is because they are powerful and semi-automatic. There are alot of different types, even more models, so just name a model (like a 1911), and I could reccomend something that would work.
