The CYMA M14 is a good gun I dident even know JG made an M14............ It really depends on what type of situation you play. For example the full length M14 would be best in woodland for obvious reason like range, accuracy and power. The SOCOM M14 would be better for more of a CQB situation but it might also be good in woodland. Although with the SOCOM you would sacrifice accuracy and range if you were playing woodland.
