We all may think greylocks is a bitter salty old dog who sounds like he's a skipping record, but his advice holds true (and it's good we have him around to keep repeating the same old good advice to all the newbies). Save at least a bit more money, you'll be infinitely happier.

To give you an idea of the deals that you can find, I picked up an AEG that's almost brand new, + 2 batteries + spare locap + spare hicap for about 300$.

OR, when I got out of the sport 3 years ago, I sold my SR-16 with a few locaps (4?) and the battery for 280$. It was beaten up, but reliable.

Good Guns do come up cheap, Cheap guns aren't worth the headache.
