shot gun or pistol?
Juggernaut:
I'm looking for my first airsoft gun, and would like to stay on the cheap end of things, so I'm going with a springer... but in terms of accuracy and power which is better? a shot gun or pistol? I've heard mixed answers from friends.
Serellan:
Neither, really in springers. For a pistol, just go to wally world and pick up one of thiers. Most springers are junk, honestly. But if you want a solid springer, get a TM shotgun at http://www.airsoftextreme.com, they are pretty good but still a bit pricey.
Instead I would get a solid GBB 92FS, like a KWA. You can get the non-metal ones for under $100 and they work great. I have an all-metal KWA M9 and I love it.

thanks for the advice! your right, they are usually not that good, but the shotgun I shot works ok, its all plastic though :'( my friend has a FMJ AK-47, its awesome, but I'm not sure I would shoot it often enough for the price, I'm thinking of getting like a electric sub machine gun...

Well, it just depends on what you are looking to spend? What is your budget?
Darklen:
If you're intent on a springer, go with the shotty. A spring pistol is a pita to use if you're playing. If you're using it for drawing drills, they're ok, but light and the mags don't allow for realistic mag changing drills. My sn has a clear MaoMart shotty and it actually shoots really well with 0.25g bb's. Flat and far out to +100 feet. And dead on accurate to boot.
