G&G's CM's (combat machines) make good starter guns because they offer good performance out of the box for a minimal investment while you decide if airsoft is for you. Don't shell out for the Top Tech line, there are better guns for the same money out there. If you discover you're really into airsoft and want to get something higher end later on, the CM will make a good back-up/loaner to have around.
A couple things to keep in mind. Don't spend more than $225 ish on a CM, after that the cost:value ratio falls sharply. You're just paying for a lot of aesthetic things, the money would be better spent towards a higher end gun at a later date. Spend more than $225 and you're much better off getting into the VFC VR16 lineup, which begin in around the $330 price range. Don't plan on upgrading your CM. People do it, and they can get shooting quite well, but IMO you're far better off spending the time and money upgrading a nicer, metal bodied gun.
