UTG L96 or AEG $90-$130

I want to know if I should get a UTG L96, Dboys AKS-74U, CYMA M14, JG MP5, or some other pretty good AEG from around $90 to $130. I currently use a UTG M324 and want to upgrade to the L96 or get away from the Sniper role for a while. I love the sniper role, but if you think you know an AEG in that price range that you think can pull me from sniper to designated marksman or recon/CQC guy, please tell me.

CYMA m14 is great.

So is the UTG L96

Ya, but an AEG is a great all around gun, and you can still "snipe" with it.

Is it durable? At this point, I'd still pick the L96, due to not having to deal with gearboxes and batteries.

I never said the L96 was better I hate sniper rifles in airsoft, they are overpowered, not very accurate a lot of the time, and shoot slower than an AEG. I think they should be destroyed >:}

So can you suggest something as good or better in the $120 range?

Like JG G36K, G36C, AK-47, M4, CYMA gun, dboys gun, or something similar?

The CYMA M14 is electric, I do believe? If so, I have heard that it is a fine gun. In my opinion, though, you should get a smaller gun, and run up and join the fight. Snipers have a very small place of usefulness in airsoft.

CYMA or DBOY AKS-74u

Cyma M14 SOCOM= Right length.
Cyma M14 SOCOM= Good Power.
Cyma M14 SOCOM= Durability.
Cyma M14 SOCOM= Upgradability...

well as a sniper get the utg accurate stock make sure you get the OD one the black has some funk with the hop up im selling mu utg but its out of your range.

good aeg id suggest jg g36 124 bucks and has renforced gearbox

I do prefer small guns, I'm a recon/ CQC kinda player. I also love H&K and Russian guns, but the CYMA and Dboys AKS-74U's are a little on the "getting too high side". And I hear Dboys is better, but has a crappy magazine. I also plan to buy like $20 worth of .2 BBs, so is JG MP5A4 or G36C, or G36K good? Or DE UMP. Or KS P90 w/ Red Dot Sight. Or a shotgun or spring gun that isn't a sniper rifle, that can go up against AEGs. I really like ergonomics and accuracy, as long as it's good enough to take out other players with AEGs in a woodland field, at about 60-120 ft.

My top choices right now are JG MP5A4, G36K, G36C, KS P90, CYMA or Dyboys AKS-74U, or this shotgun http://www.airsoftpost.com/product_info.php?cPath=21_47&products_id=31097

well cqc/cqb get an mp5 i personally use a .45 but still doesn't compete with aegs and make sure they chrono there gun i had a guy sneak in a p90 that shot 420fps

Is the JG Beta AK good?

yeah its a nice gun friend of mine cqbs with it but its on pre order on evike till october

No, the Beta is not good. I wouldn't get anything JG except the G36.
Like I said, the M14 is the best all around rifle in my opinion. It's pretty small, only about the size of a m16.

That's big.

I like the Socom 16. but now it's $145 and not $125. Is the Matrix 870/ S&W M3000 any good?

No, don't get shotguns, there not very good for actual games. if you insist on saving that $20 get a JG G36

Don't even look at shotguns if you want to become a serious player.

I can't really "save up" because I don't get much of anything to "save up". My birthday and Christmas are the real times I get money for airsoft. So for an airsoft game in the woods with like 100ft. range would a 400FPS shotgun be effective if it's like a 4v4? It's $80 and full metal, so it seems cool and I can get an extra magazine and a lot of ammo for it, whereas if I bought an AEG, I would only be able to get limited ammo and no extra magazines.

FPS doesnt mean much, my Combat machine outperforms all the JGs that are shooting around 400 fps.
