Ok, i have finally got my parents to let me get a gun(they watched me play with some of my friends). Now im wondering, what should i get?

All of my friends have GBB's that are full auto (glocks), and I have looked at some. Im into the look of the gun so i would like trademarks to be intact when I buy them. What is a good Gas Blow Back gun to start with that would atleast let me compete with their guns? (they have 2 g23's, 1 g18, and one M9. All KWA or KJW i believe.)

My other choice is a Toystar New M4a1 from modelmarts. How much would shipping be from modelmarts, and has anyone ever had a bad experience with them?(the forums seem really positive about them). I want to get a New M4a1, and possibly a red dot ACOG to mount on the rail. Are the new Maruzen or Guarder ACOGs any good?

Thanks guys.

if you want a full auto GBB, get a KWA MAC 11. the KWA version has no trades, but mac trades aren't really much to look at, and it comes with the magnesium bolt, allowing you to use GG.

If you want trades that badly then get a KSC MAC 11 and install a magnesium bolt. but in IMO the cost isn't worth it.

No. Mac 11s are not accurate; they're made so you let off a five to ten round burst. You'd be pretty much guaranteed to hit someone from 130 feet away with a ten round burst, though.

You'd do better getting a GBB if all your friends have one, that's for sure. If you can aim, you should just get something accurate; a KWA G17 with a metal slide would fit your bill perfectly. If you've got the money, a KWA M93R with a metal slide and barrel would be the most fun gun you'd ever have, and it'd beat your friends down if you're a good shot.

Not with the one that I used..I was once wishing I had also brought a bigger gun.

Poweregdeusa.com is good. But if performanceairsoft.com has it in, they will beat poweredge's (or antyhgin lower in the US) by 20% of the difference, and the owner seems like a good guy too.

My friend has the KWA M23F Gas Blow Back Full Auto Airsoft Pistol from http://www.shortyusa.com/

It looks just like a real glock and shoots hella fast! full auto is awesome and you can get a 50 round extended clip (it looks awesome)!

GBBs are really fun, but not always the best performers... It's really a toss up. Would you prefer a rifle or pistol?

I would almost say AEP, but no. I'd say either just the the TS M4, or save up enough to buy a used TM M4 (and fix the barrel wobble with epoxy)
