I guess I can give a serious response.

I like having a variable zoom scope for spotting on all my guns. Most sights aren't that effective for aiming at airsoft ranges... although occasionally it's nice. So I prefer to be able to take a look around at higher magnification. EOTechs and the like are very aesthetically pleasing on guns... and honestly, that's enough of a reason for me to carry around an extra pound of weight if I don't feel the need for a scope. Airsoft gear for most people is about looks more than function though.

If you find yourself resting the front of your gun on your fist, pointed vertical, a lot... then a vertical foregrip is for you.
If you find yourself wishing the front end of your gun hand a nice 25-30 degree angle grip on it, then an angled foregrip is for you.
If you prefer to hold your gun from the magwell, a magwell grip can make this much much more comfortable.

Slings are great if you ever find yourself climbing, walking long distances, carrying objective items or switching to a secondary on a regular basis. For smaller guns, I prefer 1-point slings slung to drop the weapon to the off-shooting side, leaving the dominant hand open for whatever use you see fit. A 3-point is a great all-purpose sling, can drop to off-hand, carry cross-chest or sling it behind you.

Bipods are nice if you spend a lot of time prone and pointed in one direction.

Lasers and lights are almost useless in all situations except at night games.

G Launchers are heavy and of limited utility... but when you need one and have it, it makes it all worth it. But a hand-thrown grenade is almost always just as good.

Bayonet is stupid, dangerous and irresponsible. Don't do it.

As for aesthetics, I would say change the paint scheme (I hate OD+black) and swap the stock for either a full stock (great for holding gigantic batteries) or a MOE stock... they're very pretty. A full stock might look kinda weird on the gun though.

Comfortable pistol grip is important for long games... or at least a "gapper" for regular style M4 grips are a necessity, especially if you don't use gloves while playing (which I HIGHLY recommend, by the way).

I agree with axis but his point on bayonets. A real bayonet is stupid pointless and irresponsible as he said however should you truley feel the need to have one (don't ever see why) they do make "training" ones they are plastic handles with either a soft flexiable plastic or foam. I do have one but its nothing for than making it look pretty serves no real purpose

But on a side note they make a great alternitive to the bang or surrender option just poke em and tell the they dead lol

Think I might grab a trainer bayonet to have that option. Sounds like a good idea, and I've been in a few situations where I like stealth too much to shoot, or call a surrender. Sometimes they won't surrender, so I have to shoot and make extra noise. Good idea!

Heh Pistol Whip em, [Just kidding of course]

I think Bayonets are a waste, if you do use it it might just be once or twice, Just shoot em, Then when they come running shoot them too,  [smilie=armata_pdt_07.gif]

I think you all missed the sarcasm in axis's post.

get some type of vert grip or magwell grip, gearbox has a good selection. Then start looking at optics

I don't think you understand JUST how much happiness a person gets from a knife/bayonet kill... especially if they have the actual prop.

Internally? I would say an optic for now. EOtech or Aimpoint would be good on that.
