Hey guys,

Yes it's another starter gun thread. I've been doing a ton of reading and understand that general opinion of a starter gun is the G&G CM16/18, without any of the S-model add on stuff. The step-up pick is a VFC.

I've got another consideration besides the standard price/durability/potential trifecta. What about weight?

I suppose weight depends on preference - my own preference (right now) is to start with a lighter gun for purely practical reasons. As far as I can tell, all VFC's are metal bodied, which of course increases that durability factor but makes for a heavier gun.

I plan to do mostly indoor CQB. Any thoughts from this perspective? Should weight factor in to my decision making?

I plan to find each rifle in a store somewhere so I can handle them side by side which should help I guess but I'd like some expert opinions for now.
