Hi I've currently got a Aeres Ameoba 007. It's shooting 240fps. I only have Nimh battery. I have a few used mid-caps but mainly use hi-caps. At this point, I just want to sell what I have and buy a new rifle which is built/made to deal with 350fps... ideally great out the box or a solid platform I can build on for a few cheap performance upgrades (hop up, barrel e.g.). Or a used rifle with all the mods. I don't mind new or used. I don't really have a budget, I just don't want to spend money unneccesarily. I enjoy DIY and have loads of general tools.... so modifications aren't scary but I don't want to waste money. So essentially the shortlist of what I -think- I'm looking for: - M4 Platform - Will use EPM1 Mags (seem the best to me?.. advice on this?) - Metal gearbox - 350FPS for UK sites - shoot .28 / .30 for woods and wind/range - Mainly semi-auto... possibly some full auto but not bothered about giga RPS. Tend not to be a sprayer. - Reliable - Lightweight / polymer body. - Mixed woods/CQB... do it all - Short/shorter style rifle maybe best for use? (do it all) - not too sure on batteries but 11.1v lipo sounds nice - anything else I've missed?? I wear a DYE i4 mask and would like to continue to. I understand I may need an adaptor for the stock There's lot of options I'm honestly a bit lost with exactly what I should get... when I look at some things people recommend they are out of stock. I don't mind buying used but sometimes it's difficult to find the right deal. Also, I tend not to simply get bored of things, I just appreciate something very functional and I think this list is pretty good if there's something that meets everything. Apologies if I've missed some sticky but would really like to hear your thoughts on some examples. Would apprecaite it if you could keep it pragmatic... im not a pro and have tried to research this myself Thanks!

thanks how do your m4 and mp9s compare?

i'm actually using an ares amoeba am-007, so thanks ? the weight and barrel length is great.. i was thinking about fitting a half-size "drop stock" similar to the LCT AK12 VFC MP7 is a good shout if only it used M4 mags :< looks like i may have to suck it up until more small speedsoft-style aegs come on the market because ultimately that's the market where a gun like this would be developed

Thanks the suggestions Unfortunately I think the bullpups / p90 etc are too bulky in the rear If I could have the LCT AK12 with M4 mags, polymer body, shorter rail/barrel I think that would be about perfect

Hi M4/MP5/ARP9 etc all have an angled hand grip which puts my wrist at an awkward angle when in a tight, upright, elbow in position.. the MP7 handgrip looks perfect (0 degree).. Ideally I am looking for a M4 (because of bigger mags, common parts etc) with 0 degree grip but that does not seem possible due to motor size/angle.. Looking at AEGs only, no gas please Thoughts? Thanks
