I like how a bunch of guys answered with 'lift weights'.

From a girl's perspective- gym's suck- so try getting a job that entails a bit of heavy lifting (I worked with my father roofing houses and stuff liek that). If that really is the way you want to go.

Since you asked about a lighter weapon I'll answer the question; My boyfriend's Mp5 Sd5 is stupid heavy because he has added weights to it for realistic weighting- without them the thing weighs little to me. It might still be much for you and with smaller arms.... try mp5 pdw. It's cute, compact, and it folds in half.

The P90 is pretty cool because the real steel version is kickass. Other then that their both 'light weight; shorter' weapons.

Personally I don't find the M4 very heavy- and if you really want to be able to get into airsoft you might want to work up to the heavy ones. For distance's sake.

You may not be holding it right either- get someone in the forces to correct you; preferably someone qualified as a small arms coach. You're supposed to be standing with your elbows pointing at the ground- not sticking out to the sides, with the weapon tucked into your shoulder.
