Airsoft Canada - View Single Post - Debating between M4 Variant or HK family (mainly G36) and others

Hi all,

I'm in the process of deciding which gun I'm going to buy as my first AEG, and I can't quite make up my mind between M4/G36 and the likes.

Most importantly, I'm having a hard time to figure out which brand would offer a good bang per bucks ratio depending on the model chosen...

As my first AEG I'd like a good all rounder for indoor/outdoor, and that can be easily customized (read: have a great compatibility with after market parts). I assume the later would also allows for easier/cheaper fixes in case of problems?

One thing is sure, I'd like the AEG to be as close as possible to the RS version, but I don't care about the markings. A plus if they're there, but I wouldn't pay extra for those for instance. So, full metal where relevant.

I've read pretty good reviews of the KWA G36c as a rock solid AEG with good internals, but I noticed it looks quite shorter than the CA version. What gives? I remember having noticed the same for some M4s in a few Youtube Videos, where the M4 was looking much smaller than it should have been, and I'm not talking about CQB versions and the like. If I'm correct and my memory serves me well, it was an M4A1 or similar. Wouldn't a smaller rifle cause issues in term or ergonomy and such?

I must say I'm really not decided between these two rifles types (and I'm totally open to others, it's just they seem to be more versatile and common so easier to get parts and accessories), so any input that will help me choose will be greatly appreciated.

I'm (trying to) budgeting around 5-600 to have something good, ideally including mags and/or some accessories (I plan on diggin the classified)

Many thanks to you all, I've found a great community here and please to see this so far!
