Also, upgrade carefully. Most guns nowadays don't really need upgrades other than a good hop-up rubber (or a solution like a r-hop). Upgrade when something breaks and don't listen to all the noobs that say that you must absolutely get that new shiny cheap 30$ tight bore barrel. Chances are its worse than your stock barrel. If you decide that upgrading the barrel could be worth it, be prepared to spend a lot of money on a high end barrel like a Prometheus/Laylax/Nine Ball or a PDI barrel.

Performance is very subjective in airsoft guns, and a lot of people suffer from the upgraded-is-better syndrome where their gun performance might actually be worse than it was before the upgrade, but they are so convinced its better that they don't realize it.
