Good starter airsoft gun?

Hey some friends of mine have airsoft guns and are encouraging me to get myself one. I'm looking for an easy-to-use, cheap, powerful pistol-type gun. A spring-powered one would be more powerful, so I would prefer that kind.
A gun I'm looking at is a .44 magnum desert eagle spring-loaded pistol. I've heard the desert eagle is a great gun for beginners.
Thanks

This http://www.pyramydair.com/cgi-bin/model.pl?model_id=692

has to be one of the greatest airsoft guns of all time. It has flawlessly served me for 2 years and counting.

-Velocity is incredible

-no hop-up (downside for some, I think it f's with accuracy unless it's really well made)

-clear

-easiest to reload mags ever




If u hate clear they come in black







P.S. I just got a Tokyo Marui g18c AEP.... all I can say is wow.. absolutely amazing.

i have a taurus pistol that was like $50 and it has lasted me for a long time and it shoots pretty hard, enough to make you bleed.

PVC, it says I would have to pay almost $10 for shipping; I'm trying to keep this around 20-30 dollars. If it's worth it then I might buy it.

I actually got mine at k-mart (don't let that fool you, it is good)
Check some stores and see if they have it.

It is still a good buy. It comes with 2 mags and a stick target.

Darn, a few years ago every k-mart in Texas shut down. I haven't seen one in years.

My cousin got a pistol at walmart and it was only 13 bucks. They have them at Walmart, Dick's, Sports Authority almost any sports store or you could buy one online. http://shortyusa.com/index.html?RID=4328 has pretty cheap ones but if they are like under 20 bucks they don't accept returns. Meaning it probably breaks a lot.

Yeah I've checked shortyusa they have pretty good ones.

I did have an Oshmans down here, but a Sports Authority bought it :(
My friend says he got his at Academy Sports, so I'll check there.
