Do your own research. There are a lot of forums and reviews with relevant info on ASC and abroad. There is always modifications that need to be done to any gun you buy to bring it up to speed. Buy a higher quality stock weapon and upgrade over time. "Almost" any AEG can be made quality with the right parts, but go for reliability out of the box.

Avoid a sniper rifle as it will do you no good in most situations. Avoid GBBRs at first as they are more expensive to fix/modify. Also it's harder to find parts and "good" gun doctors for them.

If a DMR is what you want, I'd personally suggest and M16. It's plain but east to find parts for, and easily maneuverable. M14's are great for accuracy but a little unwieldy indoors. As far as AEG M14's go I've heard mixed reviews on all the models except Tokyo Marui. Get a TM if you can, and the first thing you'll want to do is throw an FTK in it. That's about the most reliable platform you can get without breaking the bank. Avoid Cyma as I've never heard good things about them. But that's really my opinion.

AEG's have high, middle, and low end guns. Tested and true are the way to go. Listen to proper reviews and histories, and be careful of what retailers tell you. TM and CA are reliable out of the box, but the TM guns come under powered. Around 310 FPS on average. G&G and A&K have good externals, but their stock internals aren't reliable. People do get good low end and mid-range guns but it's not worth the risk.

Do your homework, you'll be happier in the end.
