Hey people.
Sorry to drudge up an old ass post but I'm looking again and feeling a bit conflicted!
Was going to pull the trigger on a brand new M4A1 and wanted to ask some opinions, was given this.
Feeling a bit conflicted as to whether or not I should actually go for it?

AND I’d put money on not one of those commenters have ever owned a TM recoil ! All I’m seeing their are the standard stale as f**k reasons for not getting a TM that are trumpeted out every time theirs a “should I or shouldn’t I ?” Discussion on the subject by the naysayers who nine times out of ten haven’t any personal experience just 2nd/3rd/4th hand information from their best mate Baz “who said so , so it must be true !”?
I’ve never denied I’m a BIG fan (I love them) but I’m certainly NOT by any stretch a ‘fanboy’ of them I know they have their faults just like all other makes do but I still say there the best out of the box never need to ‘up-grade’ gun you can buy . Yes the FPS is low ? So what they’ve got the best stock hop units in them and will far out range most other higher FPS guns on the field , so many players STILL equate range purely to FPS but if you’ve got a crap hop unit it won’t mean a thing how much power your putting out you still won’t hit shit with it ! ? a low FPS gun with a good hop set up will always beat a high FPS gun with a shitty hop guaranteed .
you have to remember they are built to run to their max potential for the Japan market no where else , TM have spent an awful lot of time and money to reach this point so once you start f**king about with the internals you throw it out of balance and your now on a hiding to no where . Me personally all I ever do is change the Tamiyaha to a deans(absolutely no idea why they STILL use those Neolithic connectors ??) and I ‘mite’ at a push swap the inner barrel for a different but that’s it .
Just my two Pennie’s worth but I stand by it 100% .?

My second AEG was a TM M14 SOCOM, it is by far my best sounding stock AEG, and i have never felt the need to tinker with it...
I got a MK 18 recoil for christmas (best wife) and have used it every game since. Its a beast. its not GBBR levels of recoil, but its still enough to put a smile on your face and enjoy the novelty, especially on full auto.
It is completely stock, including the fancy £45 batteries of which it needs two to last a day. I have never felt out gunned by any other AEG user, it has even gone as far as outranging some (most notably a guy whose rounds were dropping a few meters short of me getting hit with my first burst). I play outdoor woodland, its winter, so ranges are further than summer days, just stick 0.25s in it or 0.28s and get rocking. Its make me seriously look at getting the NGRS Scar H as my next toy.
You will find on forums, especially like FB that people like to hate on TM because FPS is considered too low. When in the fine print, its probably them hating on the guns because the price tag is too high for them to afford or their internal value meter thinks that £500 for an AEG is too much.
The finish quality is great, my CYMA M14 the stock creaks terrible (its my only gripe) the TM M14 SOCOM is solid. MY G&P m16 has a slight gap between the upper and lower receivers, the TM is flush.
But i am a weirdo in this community i feel, looking at that screenshot. I never understand why the assumption is that everyone is going to 'upgrade' their guns?

I came into possession of a ngrs urgi in october and have used it in every skirmish since.
The lower fps is not an issue as this thing is getting incredible range for an aeg battle rifle, both me an my teck were gob smacked by this.
Buy one and leave it the hell alone and you'll have an amazing gun, do not get the fps upgrade (fps = failed player syndrome) you will reduce the longevity of the aeg and get no realistic performance boostas at shorter ranges the extra fps wont make much difference in the time it takes for the bbs to reach the target and at long ranges the bbs will be running out of momentum regardless.
Buy an ngrs, use it and enjoy it!
One if the best things about them is not having to mess with them to get decent performance
