G&G M4A1, good gun to get?

[SteevoLS]

No, they don't. They sell a $90ish gun for $90. All those prices are fairly close to the prices you see them on other sites. Just because some tards at Airrattle say the gun is worth $210 doesn't mean it is worth $210. For example, they have the late-gen CYMA AKs for $150-170. Go look those up on some other sites and you'll be amazed to find out that's what they really cost.

i'm basing it on my gun (jg/E1 MP-5SD) that was for salt on airsoft atlanta for $300 and is on that site for 150 ish the last time i checked. you're right bout pretty much everything elso though. anyway, we're derailing the thread. lets get back on topic.

Off topic: No, I'm right about everything. JG MP5s have ALWAYS been $120-180, depending on the state of the US Dollar and import fees, etc.

On topic: I'm still right.

No, they just put a "list price" that is much higher than what they are selling it for. They have about the same prices as a lot of other places on their new AEGs.

That's completely up to you. Tokyo Marui gearboxes are very very solid and can take a beating. My TM SIG SG552 with a V2 has held up for almost four years now and I bought it used. I only did upgrades on it to suit my needs.

I have to disagree with some of the above posters. Airrattle sells the G&G FNC for $85 less than any other website ($300 compared to $385) I have found, and I have been looking for a while. I wish I had seen the Airrattle post 30 minutes before I did, because I just ordered the FNC from somewhere else and paid more.

^This.

The question is never "should I upgrade?", it is first "What do I want the gun to do that is doesn't do now?" Once you have answered yourself, then you ask us "What do I upgrade in order to improve 'X' aspect of my guns performance?" Then we can help assist you in properly changing that aspect of your gun to suit your specific needs.

If there is nothing about your guns performance that you wih to change, then there is no need to upgrade it. If, however, you want something different out of it, then you will need to change something about it to gain that difference in performance that you want.

TMs make excellent CQBRs out of the box, and will do so for some time.
