Just to give those who are not yet into airsoft, an idea of the "average guy's" gastos while being in this hobby...

My first ACM (China-AEG) = WELL R7 PHP 3,800.00
My second ACM = AIM M4A1 PHP 4,000.00
My third ACM = AGM M14 PHP 6,000.00
My fourth ACM = JG M16A4 PHP 5,000.00 (had to sell 2 older guns to get this)
My first gas bb pistol = BELL Beretta 92F PHP 2,700.00

Apparel/Protection
CHINA MULTICAM BDU = PHP 2,500.00
CHINA DCU = PHP 2,500
CHINA CIRAS VESt = PHP 3,500
SRC MASK PHP 650
Balaclava PHP 400
Armoured Industries Holster PHP 1,100.00
Baseball Cap PHP 400
China PASGT Helmet PHP 1,100
Knee/elbow pads PHP 800

TOOLS/Maintenance Equip.
Misc lubri, tools etc PHP 2,000.00
3 sets metal bushings PHP 1,000.00
2 M120 springs PHP 1,200.00
2 replacement batteries PHP 1,200.00

Accessories:
G27 Grip PHP 1,300
China Crane Stock PHP 800
Extra Magazines PHP 1,500

Total, not counting BB's, tourney fees and anything else I've missed out, etc etc

= PHP 43,450.00 ...span of about 2 years. Then I sold most of my gear last December for only 7k, to a friend who wanted to get into the hobby.

I'm NOT even a hardcore "high-end" player/collector. Those guys spend no less than PHP 100,000.00 on gear alone, not to mention the guns.

Due to hectic work sched, I stopped playing. Might play again soon if I can save up for a better AEG.
