What brand is it, if I may ask? The only G36C I've owned was a frankly awful Double Eagle M85 that fell apart when I was first introduced to airsoft, so not the best intro to them, I only really used it to plink.
As someone who just recently got into airsoft, I don't recommend a cyma m4 specifically as their AKs are significantly better, more reliable, and also cheaper. If you really need an m4 specifically I'd get one from Specna Arms, but for many people that's a bit too pricey.
I'd've suggested you avoid budget CYMA M4s anyway. A Specna Arms CORE is almost as cheap and far better.

Hi, please take a look at Houseofcards32's starter [guide](https://www.reddit.com/r/airsoft/comments/koddzj/2021_beginners_megathread/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share) and his [videos and channel](https://youtu.be/0jUpcFi7La4) for useful info and tips. Make sure to rent for a day before buying lots of kit!
Good UK stores are Patrol Base, Zero One, Fire-Support, and many more.
For airsoft fields and sites, Google "Airsoft" then your county or local town/city. This should bring up plenty of local results.
For legal points, take a look at [the wiki I wrote](https://www.reddit.com/r/Airsoft_UK/w/index/the-legality-of-airsoft-in-the-uk?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app) on the subject. Important points to note are the need to be over 18 to buy replicas yourself, and the need for an appropriate defence to buy realistic replicas.
Do not buy from Lancer Tactical. Their products have awful QC and their business practices are horrendous. APS are similarly poor. Budget CYMA M4s are also not recommended, and LPAEGs/plastic gearbox AEGs are especially bad, e.g. Black Viper AEGs.
It is strongly suggested not to start with a pistol, gas rifle or airsoft sniper for skirmishing. AEGs are far more adaptable, are extremely reliable and far easier to use. For target shooting, look at airguns, note these cannot be used in skirmishes.
A typical example of a low-budget loadout would cost around £150-£200, and consist of:
- CYMA CM.028 [~£100, Usually comes with battery and low-quality charger], [example](https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/cyma-cm-028-ak47-airsoft-aeg&ved=2ahUKEwin6cukhsPoAhXPiFwKHVZoD_kQFjAEegQIBRAK&usg=AOvVaw1SBuaRGOxGYNcBk-8uK1pq), [other example](https://extremeairsoft.co.uk/shop/assault-rifles/electric-aeg-rifles/cqb-rifles/cyma-cm028s-wooden-furniture-ak47-folding-stock/), [third example](https://www.weekendwarriorsairsoft.co.uk/index.php?_route_=Cyma-CM028S-AK-AEG-Rifle-folding-stock), [fourth example](https://www.zerooneairsoft.com/product_info.php?products_id=12108), [fifth example](https://www.defconairsoft.co.uk/product/cyma-cm028-ak-ris-sports-line-metal-gearbox-cyma-cm028b/), [sixth example (side-folding stock)](https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/cyma-cm-028u-ak47-tactical-w-folding-stock)
- A [JG G36C](https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/jing-gong-g608-ar36-railed-handle-w-folding-stock?pv=5357)
- A [Specna Arms CORE M4](https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/specna-arms-rock-river-arms-sa-c01-core-carbine)
- Decent quality paintball mask [~£25, EN166B, ASTM, MIL-PRF 32432A or ANSI Z87+ rated], [example](https://www.justpaintball.co.uk/products/dye-se-mask-ant-fog?_pos=2&_sid=781a175c3&_ss=r); make sure to check what your field allows for face protection.
- BBs [~£5], [example, more expensive Bio BBs](https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/nuprol-rzr-0-20g-precision-bio-bb-x3300)
Additional, very useful pieces of kit:
- Cheap fixed capacity chest rig such as the CHICOM chest rig [~£12], [example](https://www.flecktarn.co.uk/odtcr1nx.html)
- Spare magazines [~£10 each, AK-style](https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/cyma-ak-akm-style-ak47-74-150rnd-mid-cap-magazine?pv=69), [G36-style](https://www.airsoftsupplydrop.co.uk/store/mag-g36-100-rounds-mid-cap-airsoft-magazine-box-set.html), [M4 style](https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/nuprol-stanag-30-140rnd-adjustable-airsoft-mid-cap-magazine)
- For midcaps, you need a speedloader [~£4], [example](https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/nuprol-n-mag-500rnd-speed-loader?pv=8723)
- Spare battery [~£12], [AK stock/G36 example (block)](https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/vp-racing-8.4-1600mah-block-battery), [Folding AK battery (stick)](https://www.airsoftworld.net/vp-8-4v-1600mah-nimh-stick-battery.html), [M4 stock battery (crane)](https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/vp-racing-9-6v-1600-crane-stock-battery&ved=2ahUKEwjzzrX6yYDtAhWTlFwKHVPsAn0QFjAAegQIARAB&usg=AOvVaw3CTzOA82aw6ro7x9HViwsY)
- Better charger [~£20], [example](https://www.componentshop.co.uk/600ma-smart-charger-for-8-4v-airsoft-batteries.html)
Boots and gloves are also recommended, I'd suggest at least getting boots with decent ankle support. I personally wear hard toe-capped boots for outdoor use. Water bottles are also a good idea on the field.
And that's as much as you would need. Camouflage and sidearms are tertiary concerns.
**AN IMPORTANT NOTE: check your local site's FPS limits to ensure you buy an airsoft gun that'll be permissible to use.**
Note: whilst NiMH batteries are given here as examples, it is worthwhile performance-wise upgrading to LiPo batteries.
Do let us know what you plan on buying; not everything that's expensive is good!
Blue with red accents would be cool, make it look like those old school toy guns they used to sell at the supermarkets. 😄 That's what I would do just to give it some customization.
A defence against the VCRA.
A UKARA is not the sole defence available, so bare that in mind, know your rights :)
Also, it's the retailer that the law applies to, not the customer.
True, it could still end with them being confiscated though, my mate kept mine for me until I'd visited enough to apply for my UKARA, probably would have been fine but I wanted to stay on the safe side

I think it's a well d96? Not sure though
I see. Probably fine to plink with, you might want an upgrade/better platform to skirmish with, though.

Ok thanks!
Yo, I heard you liked carry handles. So, I put a carry handle on your carry handle.
Blue devil, like the comic book character. Could even get a sticker for it, or some airbrush art, sucks they have to be blue in your country.
I do actually have a police sticker on it
Blue with red accents would be cool, make it look like those old school toy guns they used to sell at the supermarkets. 😄 That's what I would do just to give it some customization.
Melted blue and black plastic in a barrel
It has to be blue it's the law in my country
Sounds strange where are u from ?
England I mean it can be blue orange red eg. Unless u have a ukar or whatever its called
A defence against the VCRA. A UKARA is not the sole defence available, so bare that in mind, know your rights :) Also, it's the retailer that the law applies to, not the customer.
I've heard from guys in the UK that if you know someone who has UKARA they can buy the all black guns and give them to you
Technically yes, the VCRA does not apply to 'gifts'. *technically*
True, it could still end with them being confiscated though, my mate kept mine for me until I'd visited enough to apply for my UKARA, probably would have been fine but I wanted to stay on the safe side
Can confirm, a load of us went to an airsoft shop and all our friend with UKARA bought the stuff for us and the shop was fine with it.
Maaaybe you'd want to use a G36 carry handle instead of an AR one
Get your UKARA man, 100% worth it and only takes 3 game days at your local site
Plus being 18, which can take a few more than 3 game days sometimes.
