G&G is probably the best choice. It's like the Tippmann A5 or 98 of the airsoft world. Great starter guns and great mid level guns too.

Now granted I started off with a custom gun I bought off the classifieds but if I were to do it again today I would look at the G&G first then if I had a bit of money to step it up go with a King Arms or VFC. G&P I can't really recommend to new players unless they're willing to dump another ~$70 + labour (if mechanically inclined like an Engineer) or a gundocs time (average $20-25/hr for this service) to replace the stock gears with something that doesn't suck balls and shear off in the first like 5 shots.

PS: What ThunderCactus says is right. I was actually shooting at like 360 FPS on .20's for the longest time before I upgraded my spring to get ~400 FPS. The previous owner of the rifle had a bunch of quality upgrade parts in it (G&P hopup unit, helical gears, motor, and what I believe to be a Guarder black rubber). It shot straight and far on .28's outdoor. It was no PTW but it was definitely a lot better than people who just toss in an M120 into their gun and call it a day. All I did last month was put in a Tight Bore Barrel and new spring and it's a beastly laser.

Go with an M100, a quality Tight Bore, and maybe a Madbull hop up unit (comes with bucking) (or I like Prometheus hop ups and buckings) and you can have your own indoor and outdoor beast of a rifle.
