I'm looking into buying an AEG and need your advices or your toughts about my situation.

I'm not an active player, more of a 2-3 games a year and I like to play as a medic. Following a squad in the deep bush, swamp, cross fires etc...in the great outdoor mainly.
Also as a lonewolf, it is always easy to find a team who wants a medic with them.
I already have my loadout for everything else in tan and green.
Last year a was in the Battlefield 2016 in Quebec with over 350 tacticool guys and liked it a lot. I was running only with my TM glock G18 nicely upgraded and a big medic pack. On my point of view it was a blast to follow my squad and keeping them (+ the others around) alive across the game.
It was a big satisfaction for me to contribute to the team. What missed me the most was to be able to provide suppressive fire to help them to go further in the mission and take positions and to give more support in general.
For this game play style I would like to buy a short SMG that can provide what I'm looking for:
-High maneuverability.
-Ambidextrous.
-Short to mid-range distance.
-To be able to manipulate with one hand to have the other free for saving buddies down or to swing it on the side to use both hands.
-Short and not too heavy.
-High quality.

I have seen so many guys in the wood getting stock in the trees with their full lenght riffles or by the sling or having trouble to shoot by windows because of the lenght of their canons etc...I want to avoid that with a shorty one.

So, I stopped on 2 models that I like the look and the specs. I like the m4 and MP5.
1- VFC M4 VR16 stinger SB
2- UMAREX (VFC) MP5 A5

I like the fact that the stock is collapsible on both options but I don't know about the solidity of these. Any thought?
It doesn't bother my to have a peq box.
MP5 has the mosfet built in but has I am skilled electronic tech, switches, motors, mosfet, lipo and wiring is as basic for me as cooking an egg by a master chief. So no worries here even to built one myself to fit in the tightest place.
I love to open things so, no problem here for upgrades or modifications but knowledge in specific AEG brand and model don't appear by magic.
I like the M4 because the mags can be shared in most case.

Here's the questions:

Should I consider other models in the short version? No P90 as I don't like it.
VFC is a safe value for quality and availability and I read a lot of posts and reviews about it and its mostly why I'm looking in to VR16 specific.
Should I consider G&G toptech on par with VFC VR16 line? I looked a lot too into G&G toptech lines.
Would changing the canon to a TB would greatly improve the grouping or range in those two choices or is negligible?
Should I just keep my money and continue to be a faster, lightweight and effective medic without a weapon to slow me down?
Or should I buy anyway whatever I want because I can't be wrong with those choices?

Thanks for any advices, comments or ideas.
