Help choosing my first AEG please (Double Eagle M9XXX) :)

House was still standing this morning... Even after I converted the two l85s to Deans as well as the new 11.1 batteries. 

Although my mate who was being a second pair of hands got branded by my soldering iron ???

Hello. I know it's been a while but life has had me busy with other things. After a big U-turn I've decided to get the m906c (I said I was indecisive). The decision has been made and I will be ordering it this evening along with some sort of suppressor to stick on the end.

I'll keep the stock that comes with is for the time being so will need to get the smaller batteries. I wasn't to get 11.1's so if someone could suggest a good brand/size that would be great.

I'll also order the m105 spring to upgrade right away and a charger for the batteries.

If anyone's wondering why I've changed my mind again I just realised that I'm definitely more of an "in the action" sort of player and a smaller, lighter gun suits me down to the ground. I cant wait to get it and get playing.

Thanks again for your help, I'll stop bothering you all after I place the order this evening.

As @Tackle said, you're not bothering anyone here

Congrats on UKARA, and your new gun! Free from the rental mafia, you are now the proverbial lone wolf with your precious, hand-picked piece  -- enjoy it!

You don't have to disappear -- folks here are generally a social bunch, and pretty much happy to chat about anything airsoft-related (or not) -- and if someone can't help you with an issue, they'll generally be able to point you in the direction of another user or person who can ?

M906C is a solid choice, you're not likely to regret it.  Are you buying a chrono?  I ask because you can sometimes be surprised by guns shooting hotter than usual just due to accidentally spot-on airseal. So I wouldn't be in a hurry to up-spring it unless you've got a way of being sure that you'll pass chrono (or are confident that you can swap or cut a spring quickly enough to get you playing on the day).  We generally recommend playing with a gun as stock first so that you've got a baseline for determining whether any "upgrades" are actually helping or not.

Makes sense. I'll hold off on the spring upgrade to start with then and order it if I need to with the other upgrades that people have suggested in the future.

Main thing I really need to get with it are batteries and the charger. I know I wasn't to go for an 11.1 but not sure on exactly what size and brand for the gun. I'll likely buy whatever anyone suggests XD

Thanks.

To fit in the stock stock (har har), I used the likes of a Turnigy Nano Tech 1200 mAH stick battery (and I rewired to a Deans connector)
You'll need a couple of those for a day's skirmishing.  (I'd need 3 as I'm a trigger-happy chap)

You might be able to find this cheaper elsewhere (should be £15), but it's hard to find stock.

Edit:  These guys are cheaper and will fit a Deans connector for a quid (worth doing), but the £8.50 p&p is a bit harsh.
You might want to invest in an extra mag, and some BB's in the order to make the postage cost a bit more palatable!

Edit 2:  "Bugger".  I've just discovered I've broken the cardinal rule of owning a DE, I left a battery connected to it for more than a day.  I've killed my battery (a chunky Titan Li-Ion which ain't cheap).   Don't do that
