Ok, I give up on trying to be cheap. I'd like to find a good quality M16A2 style or M-4. I was thinking of something from JG, but i'd like some recommendations. I'm looking for something between $100 - $200, full metal, and fps around 350? Thankyou guys

Any of the G&G series will suit you.
Take a look at the ASGI G4 line as well.

Well you're not going to find one of those guns that's full metal for $200 and expect it to be anything close to quality. Echo 1 has a full metal M4 for $245 or so but then you're coming close to being able to get a KWA or G&P M4 for a little more money.

I'll have to second the G4 line, they're pretty nice guns for the price and come with some decent aftermarket parts already installed. They're not full metal but their bodies are probably the strongest "plastic" bodies on the market now.

May I just add somthing for future reference? When you order "full metal" you are in fact ordering cheap chinese pot metal (scrap) in reality the synthetic models out there can withstand so much more abuse then the metal ones, and will last much longer.

Just somthing to keep in mind...

Same thing goes for magazines...I now always go plastic. When I was buying my G4-A5, Tim at ASGI talked me out of metal magazines. I wanted them for realism and the beautiful noise they made when you rack it into the magwell...but after Tim had me to jump up and down on a plastic MAG-brand mag, I was sold. I weighed at least 160 at the time...and these mags just would not dent/scratch/break.

Zane, that statement is true with allot of the MPEG metal bodies, however CA, G&P, KA or any of the higher end metal guns use allot better metal than chinese pot metal. The bodies WILL be allot more durable than a composite receiver.

Stuff happens though, a friend cracked his PTW upper receiver.... Everything depends on how you take care of the guns you use...

Yeah with metal it depends how it was forged, if theres a crack in it your sol..atleast with plastic you can be pretty sure what your getting..so in summery

Synth= Good stuff..pretty depedable
Metal=MPEG is pot metal...not good. And higher priced, better but if theres a mistake in the forging it will be weakened...on the plus if it's made right you get a very durable weapon, yes?

It's rumored that KWA uses the same metal they use on a V-22 Osprey Wink

Seriously though, my M4's made out of some durable stuff

Yeah, I'm a groundpounder myself, but I'm not gonna lie, I love the speed. Of course, you don't get a whole lot speed when you're slamming into the ground in a massive fireball.....
