well TBH im not to worried about upgrade price. yes it will be a DMR.. but full auto capability would be a bonus. i dont know if im really wanting to go for a WE m14 as it is gas... which wont really help me in the winter
from what i understand - dont quote me here - is that the 10/22 is not to bad for winter use. sr25 are nice, but to long for me. i have a very mixed style of play.. Run and gun - hence the mp5k w/11.1 - as well as rifleman. so... if ive got my rifle, and i feel the need to rush, then its WAY easier if its short and compact.
as far as velocity goes its going to have to be a max of 400fps. so hopefully RA-Tech will have a npas soon :P
my concern with TM m14 is how hard its going to be to buy one... and how expensive :S i dont have thousands to spend lol.
in general im kinda weary on GBB(R) as ive had some bad experiences with them. so far the only good ones ive ever owned have been TM Glocks. From what ive read the 10/22 is a viable option, but.... everything else just makes me scared lol
