New Player - Reliable M4

[Adolf Hamster]

I did think in the last 10 years since I played a reputable brand would of emmerged but seems airsoft still has the pot luck on QC/reliability it use to have, the closest seems to be G&G

There's still pot luck at all points of the price ladder, but the current budget crop are pretty damn good for the price they are.

Then I recommend JG as they seem to have risen up in quality over the last couple of years.

Cant speak for their m4 lines but their ak's that i've worked on have shot far far better than their pricetag says they should.

Wouldn't go with G&Gs.

Old technology when it comes to gearbox shells, bushings material and hop units, even the newer rotary ones have zero airseal.

I'd take a look at the Specna Core range. Internally they are nothing special (shit ferrite motors and bad air seal, same as G&G btw) but they are a great base to build onto.

8mm STEEL (yes G&G, steel, not brass, you mongs) bushings, QD gearbox, decent rotary hop unit and an okay 6.03 brass (again G&G, decent brass, not shit tinfoil, fucking wankers) barrel.

Zero proprietary parts which is a super big plus and a price tag that is VERY affordable.

Okay the polymer doesn't feel as nice as the G&G one, but that's it.

Echo the above really..

My Specna is 10x better than any of my old G&Gs that for some stupid reason I used to rave about in my previous airsoft 'life'.

Seriously impressed by it given the price point, handled 4 different Specnas now in the last few months prior to biting the bullet and getting back into airsoft properly, all of them seem built well with pretty much no rattling. 

Not the best out there, but for a starting gun with fairly decent internals (mosfet, tbb etc), Specna pisses all over G&G...and then some.
