[quote]If you're looking to game with your gun, forget useless accessories like extra rails you'll never need on a long, outdoor gun, supressors, etc. Out of the list of stuff you want, the only useful accessory you have listed is an optic. Get what you NEED to get your gun operation and fieldable first.

Get yourself a large, high capacity battery for the stock. That will not only give you longer battery life, but will also decrease trigger lag. While you're at it, buy a smart charger so you don't kill your batteries with that wall wart charger. And get some low cap or mid cap mags.

For an optic, look around and find something with no more than 4x magnification. Anything more is useless for airsoft, as airsoft guns have relatively short ranges and anything beyond 4x is more detrimental than helpful.[quote]

Thanks for the advice. But i just want the rails because i love the look, but not only that, i hate, well absolutely despise the hand guards. I hate them, i just do not know why. but.. that's just my opinion. i also wanted to put a battery box on the side. Just cause i like the look of them.

So, for optics i was thinking maybe an ACOG? or.. maybe a very low powered sniper scope.. but, i want something that looks relatively large. considering the size of the M16, i want to even out the distribution and size of the gun compared to the optic.
