Beginners will choose an A.E.G (example:AK47 cyma) which you can buy on our advertisements or on an airsoft shop.

Find his budget to buy a replica

We can find three families of A.E.G:

-Famous replicas with high quality construction like : Tokyo Marui, classic army, ICS, G&P, systema, tanaka, maruzen. ( a good investment for regulary practice ) The budget start at 250 euro for an AEG equipped of a battery.
-Cheap replicas : made in China and which are a copy of Marui replicas.
Sometimes a cheap copy can be made with a serious construction and sometimes it can be a very bad deal. But you can do a good deal if you choose a cheap replica like: Jing Gong or Cyma.
You can have an AEG equipped of a battery, a battery charger, a cleaning stalk and a strap for a budget wich start at 120 euro
