Get Av'ed and this place is great, but

M4 suggestions.....

1. TM, the only draw back is it isn't a metal body though upgrades are available an new models are availabe that are, I think mine was just an older version. I have nothing but good things to say about TM. It was my first M4, and it was a work horse. I did have upgraded internals, mech box, spring, piston, inner barrel ect.... however it survived 2 years without incident and I played often, and in all types of weather. The only thing I didn't like was the barrel wobble. Though in most cases you can fix that, or limit it. But it was consistent in it's fps 420 - 423 always, accuracy was great. By the time it finally packed it in I had sold it and it lasted a while longer. The new owner's problem was the teeth stripped on the piston. But that is with considerable wear and lots of use. He fixed it in no time and it was up and running again.

2. KWA: I loved this rifle, it was everything that my TM was and a little more. Full metal, good fps, accuracy out of the box. Though it unfortunately didn't last as long; however, the support KWA gave me for this rifle was excellent. I was running a lipo battery on it, and one small piece broke inside the mech box. KWA not only replaced my mech box for FREE, but they ensured they gave me the latest and greatest and followed up. I had sold the rifle because I all but got out of airsoft because of family commitments, and I didn't have as much time to go out. But I'd still have it now if it wasn't for that fact. The games I did use this rifle it preformed magnificiently. I liked the feel much more than my TM. I just wish I had more time with it.

But I think every brand is capable of being great or crap. Sometimes it's just QC. The most reliable rifle/smg I owned in matter of fact that gave me no issues what so ever was my wifes JG MP5. I know not an M4, but if your willing to spend a little more and get things right, anything can be made reliable. But that is something you will decide.
