shopping for airsoft gun

My brothers are making a cart for a buncha airsoft stuff thats like 200$ between the 2 of them. They are looking at stuff like $10 pistols, a $55 AEG riffle that comes with crap reddot sight most likely, 2 5$ sniper scopes and a cheaper spring sniper plus some other accessories.
Since I like shooting em too and they could have had a nice solid chunk of metal AEG for all the cheapo walmart ones that are now broken I'm trying to tell them to spend more money on less.
Seriously their last one came with a foregrip that snapped right off the rail, the stock broke off and the whole gun weighs 2 ounces probably.
So I was wondering what I should be looking for if I could convince them to buy like 2 100ish dollar guns. Anything thats not all cheap plastic for that price range? The only nice ones iv'e seen like tokyo AEGs are 250, that's too much cuz they each want one.
They have smaller arms too, like 8-12 year olds have. so an smg replica might be better, maybe with a barrel extender/fake silencer?.

I believe umarex, kwc or cybergun (i cant remember) make;
tanfoglio 1911 sig p226 X-five beretta 92fs
all metak with blowback action for around $150 each.
theyre some of the best replicas around, IMO if youre going to buy an airsoft do it up right!

Airsoft guns suck dick. They're good for absolutely nothing.
--------------------
It's just like the story of the grasshopper and the octopus. All year long, the grasshopper kept burying acorns for winter, while the octopus mooched off his girlfriend and watched TV. But then the winter came, and the grasshopper died, and the octopus ate all his acorns. Also he got a race car. Is any of this getting through to you?

I think you can shoot each other with airsoft, and they probably knock over cans.
im more of a lead pellet or bb guy myself, or paintball if i want to shoot my friends...
those guns i mentioned are actually populat bb gun replicas that im pretty sure were converted over from airsoft versions.

KWC and cybergun are TERRRIBLE, AWFUL.
Tokyo Mauri, KWA/KSC, or WE are well made guns.
Airsoft is gay as shit. Buy a real gun.

yeah, but they shoot soft bullets that are suitable for shooting at your friends for sport.

you cant shoot your friends with a real gun, and you cant normally shoot a real gun at home, in your back yard, withon city limits etc.
airsoft has its place, mostly with kids. if you get a good replica they can be good for practicing for the real steel at a fraction of the cost in ammo.

Play paintball. I did the airsoft thing and it doesn't hurt enough to matter. Even at airsoft fields people cheated.

I agree, there are some really nice replica paintball markers that you can also shoot rubber balls out of if you want to practice without the paint mess.

Just buy some cheap pump shotguns for shooting each other in the back yard. You won't find an electric/automatic airsoft assault rifle worth buying for $100.
I suggest getting into paintball... ammo and gas is more expensive but it's worth it; you could probably get a used Tippmann 98 for under $100 dollars and that gun is indestructible.

i used to play and honestly 200 is barely enough for one good automatic. if you're going to buy two i say go gas. they used to have these snipers that shot at something ridiculous like 475fps for 80 bucks. plus gas are way more fun to shoot. especially if you get a nice pistol with blow back and all that jazz it just feels more real. or the smith and wesson co2 pistol was pretty nice. i remember it was cheap, had a solid build, nice blowback, and shot at 400 fps. this is all from a long time ago so my memory might be skewed.
