Yeah, i remember my LPEG AK. At least that what i considered it. I was better off going pistol only. But like Mad Sarge said, you may learn to be more tactical, sneaky, and deadly with the right mindset... i went through that stage... and now that i have a high end AEG, it makes it 10x better. You may not get a good experience and forget about spending the money, or you could get a good experience and become better. Leap of faith...
