Good aeg for airsofting noob?

[Blood Red Smurf]

I just got in to airsofting and i currently own 3 airsoft aegs but none of them seem to do the trick  :? my favorite is my kraken ak-47 but i dont like it that much any suggestions (p.s i dont know allot about airsoft and im only 13 so those 1,000 dollar airsoft guns wont work)

airsoftmegastore.com   tienme  buenas AEG"s

metal gearboxes...350 -400 +    thatll be ok  if you are playing war   or  in open areas...and  more people
 so 150$  - 250$

but if you just playing  shooting cans in your back yard....that kraken is just fine......

if you want recommendations, make sure you give a pricerange and what you want the gun to do.

im opposed to CA Sport lines personally. They seem to break easily lately.

I'm sold on enhanced JG M4s, namely the M4 S-System.

Edit:
Here is a link to a JG M4 S-System. I'd recommend this system for any one getting into airsoft.

CA sportlines seem to be crappy guns.  The internals are worse than the majority of clones.  They have a weak sector gear, blue nylon bushings, blue aluminum barrel (probably low quality aluminum) Everyone about the CA sportlines seems to either be "bleh" or average clone quality, the majority of it seems to be "bleh." lol  CA prolines seem to be solid guns, but from what I've seen on reviews and forums, they really seemed to drop the ball on the sportlines.  I've used a CA sportline P90 and it was garbage...this is coming from a guy who has only owned clones. lol

G&G sportlines are probably going to be your best bet.  From what I'm seeing over on ASF, the stock accuracy of the non-blowback combat machine is horrible.  (due to a low quality barrel)  If you replace the barrel, they supposedly shoot nicely.  

The G&G plasticas are better than the G&G CMs, I would personally go with a G&G plastica.  Better body, internals, decent stock barrel.  I don't like JG armalites at all personally. (the plastic body ones at least)  The motor gives a great ROF on a 9.6v, but the plastic on them is very bland.  Not nylon fiber like on the G&G sportlines.  Internals are pretty good, but nothing astounding.  Accuracy is average for a clone.

I'd look into CYMA (at or above CM032s are supposed to be solid guns)  My friend has a CYMA AKM (FM/W version) and it's a nice gun.  Shoots WAY too hot (at least 430 O.o), but is very accurate for a stock gun.  Solid gun overall.  

JG AUG, JG/E1 G36s (E1s have metal bearings, I'm not sure if JG has metal bushings in their G36 series.  They didn't used to), G&G sportlines, or a CYMA AK/M14/MP5 is what I would look into for a $200 budget.  If you don't care what model (IE M4, MP5, etc) I would personally go for a G&G Plastica M4/M16.  

If you have $250 or more, look into G&G, CA prolines, or KWA.

I just bought an echo 1 Stag 15 m8a3. Its done the trick and in my opinion well worth the 225$ i paid for it. but as the others have said its kinda about the price range and what you want the gun to do. Personally i would recommend echo 1 because they are a mid- priced gun with good internals. CA and TM your basically paying for an Echo 1 only with a different name on it. so it would be best suited to settle for a decent gun with good internals.

I have the g&g combat machine non blowback and he's right, the accuracy with the stock barrel is horrible. I just purchased a madbull tightbore and I think it's shooting really nice with it.

With CA and TM, you are paying for quality control, better materials (for the most part), and usually much better performance.  (maybe not fps, but better accuracy)  The new JG full metal M4s/E1s (not referring to the VFC they rebranded since that's a VFC lol) seem to be nice guns, but I don't think they are worth purchasing over a G&G or CA. They do have some nice features, but you'll just get better QC and materials with high end companies.  (KWA, G&G, CA, etc)  

E1s are mainly just rebranded JGs (a few CYMAs/Galaxies) with a few things added to them, usually just markings and a warranty.  With some models, like the E1 G36 series, they add metal bearings.  (however, E1 doesn't do this themselves, they pay the factory to do it)

This is True but to each their own i guess It all depends on how much money your willing to dish out for the gun and eventually the upgrades that you want to do with the gun, True CA and the other high end companies will have a better quality control is it worth paying 300+ dollars for that quality control when you could take a "less" superior gun say an echo 1 and pay the 225$ (i.e.) and take that spare 75$ and upgrade the parts and end up with a much superior gun

(granted all things being equal metal body, hop up's, Etc.)

Sorry, I need to laugh for a minute... When you pay for a CA you dont pay for quality control, better materials OR better performance... I can't stress how few good things I can say about stock CA's.  I've owned 3, all three sucked hard, two of them purchased in CA's "Hayday".  I know a lot of players here in AZ have had great luck with theirs, but mine where horrid.  Shoddy pistons, shoddy wiring, horrible paint and horrible motors with "functional" hop up units and bleh barrels.  If your goal is to gut an AR, you are better off with any number of AEG's (G&G included) then purchasing a CA.

I can't think of a single company of the dozen or so brands I've owned, that ever had such horrible switch units that they fried out on 8.4v 3500 mAh larges after a few rounds...  None of my 3 CA's (2 M14's and an M15A4) would pull an M120 reliably on that 8.4v 3500 mAh large battery.  Pistons that failed at the thought of pulling the M120 for more than 10,000 rounds and switch units that burn out far too quickily.  God could not maricle a working CA to me and have me take it.  I simply wont do it.

For the price, there are better AEG's on the market than any of the CA's.  Really, unless you are looking something that only CA makes or makes with a metal body (G3's) I would give them a pass.  Get a G&G, like the G4 blowbacks from ASGI or one of the proline models or an ICS or something other than a CA... please...
