Airsoft Canada - View Single Post - Custom airsoft project

I'm relatively new to airsoft. When I bought my first gun I didn't pay much (if any) attention to the internals. I currently own a G&G M4. I'm trying to design and build a custom airsoft gun (theme to be disclosed later in the project).

I want to have a burst-fire option and I feel this would be easier to implement with an AEG than a gas, but it would be really cool to have blowback. For now, I'm just looking for advice on AEG internals.
It's going to be bull-pup and optimized for medium-long range.

According to the research I've done so far, I'll need:

-gearbox
-motor
-selector plate
-trigger
-barrel (length ~600mm)
-hop up

1) Am I missing anything?
2) Do you have a favourite model of any of the above components?
3) how does the motor choice affect my battery choice? (I'm going for 900 RPM, not even sure if this is particularly low or high)

Keep in mind, I'm going for a bullpup design which makes things slightly more complicated.

NOTE: Yes I've heard of the search tool. Asking other humans about their experiences is a form of research too.

EDIT: material recommendations? I'm probably going to go with ABS, but I want to hear your opinions

EDIT: I'm designing the externals from scratch (it's going to be bullpup). I'm also trying to gather the internals individually so I can configure them as I wish. And I'm not specifically looking for M4 internals, I'm just looking for high-quality internals. I can modify it to take whatever internals there are, but I am only familiar with the M4. As I said I'm very new to this
