If you're willing to take the time to learn and my advice isn't going to fall on deaf ears then here's some more recommendations from me.

Actually.... The CYMA or JG MP5 isn't bad for a mid end starter. Metal body and fully (like 95%) TM compatible so it's upgradeable too. If anything just add in a better hop up bucking (highly recommend one of the following; Guarder Clear, SystemA, PDI "W", ARS or Prommy Purple) and maybe a Tight Bore barrel and you should be good to go for at least 2 years if not more before wanting something a bit better. Also not sure what stock FPS is and TBH it doesn't matter that much, but I like bringing my outdoor guns up to between 375-390 FPS but it's not totally necessary.

I'd say if you're looking for something on more of a budget the JG is probably what you should start off with then add in whatever gear you need:

Extra Mags: $25 (should be able to get like 2x 200rd hicaps with that, or like 3 cheaper low/midcaps)
PB Mask: ~$50-60
Boots: ~$120 on sale from Sportchek or w/e
BDU's: ~$40-50 for a set of surplus CF Olive Drab
Consumables: ~$50 (field fee, BB's, food, transportation, etc.)

Also start with the basics by just grabbing gear slowly as you go, hell I didn't even have a chestrig or vest for the first 5 months I was playing. I ended up running around with mags in my pockets or in a borrowed vest. The first things you absolutely need are; Gun, PB Mask and good footwear the rest can come later (I still have my awesome hiking boots that I bought 5 years ago and still use for airsoft, but I bought those for like $120 on blowout sale).
