g&g m16a3 rec

Im fairly new to airsoft and was looking at gettin a higher end aeg but looking to spend no more than 400 (since im pretty much alrdy broke). Im gettin AVed in a few days and will take a look for a gun in there, but im also lookin at online stores in the meantime. I was looking at the g&g m16a3 rec. Does anyone have any expierence with this gun? and what other guns might you recomend? I prefer m4/m16 with a solid stock and R.I.S.

Thanks

Go to games and try guns.

An M16 is quite a long gun. I am 6'2" and I feel stuck with one.

The SRC G36s are quite good and in that price range.
Plus the G36s are plastic/polymer in RS, so no need to install a metal body to get the real feel. That M16 is all plastic...

Buy from one of the sites Brayden posted.

The M16 is a good gun and G&G is decent. I have a G&G M16A2 and frnakly aside from switching it to deans and throwing a lipo in it I haven't (in the 1 1/2 years I've owned it) and won't change anything internally.

And don't ever let anybody scare you away from it with the height/size to rifle length comparison. I'm 5'6" and I have zero issues using my M16 is dense forest.

@ Brayden- ive already looked at those sites in the past. A store near my house brings in orders from mach1 and canadian airgun supply so i figured those sites would prolly be best to order from. Plus i dont know how good VA guns are since they are clones. (?)

@Kos-Mos- Im 6'3'' so i doubt the length of an m16 will be too big of an issue.

@ AngelusNex- i didnt think g&g guns were lipo ready. Thats definitely something im interested in.

I was thinking about the ICS m16A3 RIS as well.

It is not an issue. It depends on your style. I am running around like a mad man on the fields... can't get a gun that gets in the way.

And again, I use an MG36 some times too... about the same size as an M16... but quite heavy... no running around with that, especially since I have to cover fire for my fireteam.

Just an FYI, there is no such thing as lipo ready, it's just a marketing ploy. All guns can run lipo, some will just break faster but all will eventually fail under lipo (at least anything CA quality or lower)

The G&G M16 that AngelusNex has is most likely not a CAS version G&G REC line M16.

The REC line is CAS's lowest line of G&G AEG, it is definitely not Lipo ready like the SRC's are.
Lipo ready means that their gear boxes have more durable internals that are ready to take the punishment that a 11.4V battery will give them (at high speed).

Here is a comparison chart between CAs version G&G M4 ADVANCED (their best M4) vs SRC M4 Gen III: http://www.007airsoft.com/gngvssrc.htm

What you should say is. I'm looking at getting the best AEG possible for $400.
