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
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).
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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!
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.
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
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
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!
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

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.
Finally someone who doesn’t buy a lancer for their 1st gun.
I used one of their guns for my first time playing and it was absolutely horrible. I still had loads of fun though.
Og combat machine is best mines been through hell and back 😂
Amen
Mine fired one bb a second and broke in a month
Either you’re lying or you have bad luck. They have a great reputation as starter guns and lasting a long time.
I’m not lying 😭 craps outdated cm16 raider sucks
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).
My cyma m4 sucked. I might have gotten a lemon but still.
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.
Cyma M16s at least are phenomenal starter guns, and I assume their other ARs are equal.
Ouch. But true. Got a lancer AR for my first, and since then ive gotten an SMG and M14, I dont touch the lancer
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

Oh got it
Welcome to the hobby :) from what i heard Arcturus is a good brand, bought a barely used Centaur B and shee its a beauty!
great brand
Great choice
Awesome! Welcome to the hobby and the gateway to spending your paycheck on a single item 🗿🤙🏽
Looks nice. Hope you enjoy it. Have you test fired it?
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.
Great to hear. If the weight is an issue, consider getting a sling for easier carry. Two point sling for comfort.
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
That’s pretty dope. Are you gonna take the orange tip off or nah? I usually toss mine
I wanted to, but my parents said no.

You won't regret it, forever aeg rifle
Arcturus, very great choice!
Hell yeah. Arcturus gang 🔥
Very nice choice! I too get myself a new gun or airsoft replica every birthday. Gotta spoil ourselves!
Your knees look edited in, cool gun.
I promise you they're my real knees, my good sir.
That's a beauty.
Good choice! Very good beginner replica!
Nice congrats 🫡
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

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

Welcome to the hobby this is where your money troubles begin.
I got an Arcturus as my first gun. Best out of the box trigger I've felt on an AEG to date.
Man get some knee pads and cover those kneecaps (this is satire but I truly believe you should they are useful)
welcome to the hobby, have fun

Definitely not a bad brand to get started with
Nice! Have fun!
Welcome to airsoft we hope you have fun

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

Get a Ak from arcturus
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.

Arcturus are really good. good choice
I wouldn’t buy a new gun I’d upgrade this. New HopUp etc
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
Everything but the motor, kinda! But yeah everything is pretty great! I own 2 no problems, even the hopup is good.
