Good AEG gun

[coolhandluke]

I’m looking for a solid AEG rifle/machine gun. I know in airsoft circles that authenticity is often cited in reviews. I don’t care if my gun looks like a toy just as long as it has the following attributes;

85% of score
Reliable shooting – I’m tired of guns just pumping air when I need them the most
Accuracy – Airsoft is not very accurate by nature so every bit of accuracy counts
Low maintenance while shooting – I hate having to check my roll up dial on the magazine every minute. The gun should shoot when I pull the trigger period.
FPS – I mostly use it in close quarter combat. The site I use most limits FPS to 330F/PS using .20g ammunition. I will consider a faster gun separately.
I just want a sure gun could care less about 90% of what the reviews seem to consider important!

15% of score
Adaptable rail system – Enough for a fore grip, flashlight and red dot sight. Possibly a laser sight in the future. Note these attachments should be interchangeable amongst any other guns I own.
Adjustable or collapsible butt stock – Agility to adjust to tight CQC situations
Sufficient sling attachments – Just something to hang on between rounds.

What I don’t care about

Authenticity – A gun is a tool it just needs to work like one.
Every part being metal – I realize that my need for reliability will likely require metal gears, receiver and barrel. But I don’t tend to mishandle my gun so ABS plastic on the rest is acceptable.
I don’t plan on upgrading this gun at all via springs, gearbox, etc. Other than generic attachments I just want a gun that I can rely on.
Model of gun – Mostly irrelevant to me. It seems that popular models are the M4, AK47, SIG 551/552 but I really don’t care.

Thanks ahead of time I appreciate any feedback.

Sounds like you want a Polarstar.

Low maintenance while shooting – I hate having to check my roll up dial on the magazine every minute. The gun should shoot when I pull the trigger period.

This is not the gun, this is your magazine. Either you have really really crappy high cap magazines, your shooting A LOT, or your not winding them up all the way.  Wind them up before you start until they start making a different clicking sound when you wind it up. It doesn't hurt to over-wind them, in fact, you can't over-wind them. The spring will just slip into the next groove when it's fully wound, and reset it's self (which is what that different sound is that I told you about).

Or you could be a man and use Mid Caps. Never wind a magazine again.

http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?products_id=2336 ( galaxy mp5k, great little gun for cqb, works well and pretty cheap)
http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?products_id=7966 ( combat machine m4 by G&G these things work really well they have very nice internals and I have noticed there hop up is very solid and responsive)

HIGHLY Recomended:  http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?products_id=10378  (KWA CQR, you really cant go wrong with this, has the best internals hands down for a sub 200$ gun, 330fps too. Only problem is you will need a battery and charger)
