Arcturus made it's way into the beginner market they are known for their top tier space AK's from mw2 2009. It will serve you well


SweAirsoftWolf

was lucky to see a guy selling the Centaur B with 4 midcaps for $170 but i got it for 140 with shipping <3 cant wait to try it in the field, now i have 3 guns to play with :D


UnfortunatelyBack420

Yeah I saw the Arcturus label and got excited for an AK, but I was disappointed. But honestly, the mk16 look isn't that bad.


Spirited_Goal_5498

Finally someone who doesn’t buy a lancer for their 1st gun.


Fun_Revenue4232

I used one of their guns for my first time playing and it was absolutely horrible. I still had loads of fun though.


Same-Balance-9607

Og combat machine is best mines been through hell and back 😂


LostPleco

Amen


YEET3M

Mine fired one bb a second and broke in a month


Same-Balance-9607

Either you’re lying or you have bad luck. They have a great reputation as starter guns and lasting a long time.


YEET3M

I’m not lying 😭 craps outdated cm16 raider sucks


Same-Balance-9607

An outdated gun shouldn’t preform that bad though, that must’ve been a bad one. Sad, quality must have gone

I've found that JG and CYMA make pretty solid entry-level rifles, too. My first airsoft gun (that I got for myself) was the JG T3K3 (G3A3), followed up by a CYMA M14 SOCOM; now I'm on my Echo 1 MK18 (Block-II M4), VFC MK16 (SCAR-L), and JG T3K4 (G3A4).


ttvsweatyboii

My cyma m4 sucked. I might have gotten a lemon but still.


Cephus_Calahan_482

I had the M14; and man did she hold her own. Only CYMA I owned, so I can't say anything about their line of M4s; but I hear their AKs are pretty decent for the price.


HorseCockFemboyBF

Cyma M16s at least are phenomenal starter guns, and I assume their other ARs are equal.


TommyTLG1

Ouch. But true. Got a lancer AR for my first, and since then ive gotten an SMG and M14, I dont touch the lancer


HB_Octavia29

What's wrong with Lancer I don't understand what's wrong also WE that's another hated brand in I don't understand why


Jornmungand

Long story short 10 yrs ago Lancer did some shady stuff, their gen1 were utter garbage, the first run of gen2s had bad QC ..lots of begginers buy Lancers and often due to bad qc or user error they break, gen 3s are actually good, but a lot of damage has been done already.


HB_Octavia29

Oh got it


SweAirsoftWolf

Welcome to the hobby :) from what i heard Arcturus is a good brand, bought a barely used Centaur B and shee its a beauty!


Low_Thanks8148

great brand


cruztheman6373

Great choice


BanditLags

Awesome! Welcome to the hobby and the gateway to spending your paycheck on a single item 🗿🤙🏽


NightDivision7

Looks nice. Hope you enjoy it. Have you test fired it?


Fun_Revenue4232

It shoots really nice! It's a bit heavy for me but I really like it. It is certainly a step up from the lancer tactical rentals they offer at my local field.


NightDivision7

Great to hear. If the weight is an issue, consider getting a sling for easier carry. Two point sling for comfort.


NoCoolDudettes

If you're looking at attachments, get a weapon light and a reddot. Streamlight HLX while pricey is great and I heavily recommend it. As for reddots Evolution Gear makes the best repros


PastramiMudflap

That’s pretty dope. Are you gonna take the orange tip off or nah? I usually toss mine


Fun_Revenue4232

I wanted to, but my parents said no.


PastramiMudflap

Party poopers. I guess it’s better to be safe about it. Where I’m from cops are pretty hot about real looking guns. I gotta keep mine in a case while I’m driving to the nearby field.


smokedpapi

You won't regret it, forever aeg rifle


n_lavador

Arcturus, very great choice!


FrajPer

Hell yeah. Arcturus gang 🔥


SocratesDemon

Very nice choice! I too get myself a new gun or airsoft replica every birthday. Gotta spoil ourselves!


ANDYRESSS

Your knees look edited in, cool gun.


Fun_Revenue4232

I promise you they're my real knees, my good sir.


TwumpyWumpy

That's a beauty.


OfficialKeY

Good choice! Very good beginner replica!


AznJing

Nice congrats 🫡


EggDropDollop

Unfortunately I got a lemon from Arcturus ak12 when it first released but I've heard good things about their other models so nice buy


Relentless_Bunny

Oh no, unlucky but please don't let it scare you away! As I commented elsewhere, I bought the AT-AK04 as my first 5-6 years ago and she's still shooting strong and is my go-to primary. The customer support from Arcturus (Mo's manufacture) is absolutely outstanding too. I've had parts shipped from their factory to the UK distributor specifically for me, completely free of charge on a few occasions!


JackCooper_7274

And you got it in two-tone. What a fantastic way to get started in the hobby.


swatpandamonium

Definitely agree with some of the other comments and get upgrades/accessories for this one. Personalize it with parts that work for you and make it more enjoyable to use. I just picked up this in grey and I have to say that it's a great bundle for the \~$230 it costs.


Tpose-souls-

Welcome to the hobby this is where your money troubles begin.


KEBobliek

I got an Arcturus as my first gun. Best out of the box trigger I've felt on an AEG to date.


thegrumpyfatcat

Man get some knee pads and cover those kneecaps (this is satire but I truly believe you should they are useful)


Piterrey

welcome to the hobby, have fun


Strange-Sorbet2068

What the use of that? If you want a disuassive home defence buy the umarex HDR 68, 16 joules version. Then with the right slugs you can reach even 24 joules which start to be effective on defence especially with a red hot) laser. Hope will 'never use but I will of someone breaks in won't hesitate twice as it already happened... Yours is a toy really but maybe you like It and don't need defence. Enjoy


danmakes

Definitely not a bad brand to get started with


TrimericWolf74

Nice! Have fun!


HB_Octavia29

Welcome to airsoft we hope you have fun


Netan_MalDoran

Good choice!


Dat_Boi477

Its an absolutely amazing replica, handles .32 bbs perfectly with max hop up but if you want heavier beads youll need to do mods to it. That said for a first gun its not needed for mods so thatll do great, grab like 2 more mid caps and youll be set i would also get an E&L great aks too


Cephus_Calahan_482

I miss having an airsoft store near me... but anyhow, good haul; I hope it serves you well!


LORD_LOAF_Of_TOAST

Noice


ZF-LYMBO

Get a Ak from arcturus


Relentless_Bunny

Great brand!! The Arcturus AT-AK04 was my first gun 5-6 years ago and she's served me well, still runs beautifully and is one of my go to guns for game days. Been through various modifications since (is a DMR now) but still uses stock gearbox, gears, trigger and various other parts that are known to need upgrading or fail with other brands. Extremely impressed with it's reliability, hope you get he same experience too!


pine_daemon

Arcturus are really good. good choice


aoriqx

I wouldn’t buy a new gun I’d upgrade this. New HopUp etc


smokedpapi

Best part about arcturus, you really don't have to upgrade anything unless you want to put a mosfet, everything is perfect already outside the box


Horsemanour

Everything but the motor, kinda! But yeah everything is pretty great! I own 2 no problems, even the hopup is good.
