Help deciding on a gun

[GingerBreadMan]

As the title says, I need a bit of help. I was recommended the combat machine range by G&G to be a decent beginner gun and I couldn't decide between the R8 L (http://www.zerooneairsoft.com/product_info.php?cPath=268_318_403&products_id=8510) or the CM18 (http://www.zerooneairsoft.com/product_info.php?cPath=268_318_403&products_id=9133)

So to help me out, what would you choose and why?

Personally I would go with the mod 1. The main reason is its shorter, since I play a lot of cqb I don't want a long gun although they are both kind of big (I am considering a cqb-s myself). It also comes with a mid cap which I have a preference for after playing in Epsom where the high cap rattle gave me away. Multicam also looks good with desert guns. Internal wise beyond different barrel lengths they are probably the same gun.

While its nice the R8-L comes with a RDS its probably better you chose something appropriate to your face protection and style of combat. I make sure I can defend any scope I buy from BBs sufficiently so support for a killflash or specialist BB shield is essential to the choice. This doesn't look like it comes with protection so it wouldn't last long.

Same guns internally. Go with whatever you like the look of.

Think I will go with the CM18, mainly due to the fact that I like the Black and Tan as well as it comes with a midcap and not another highcap

CM18 - cos it looks cooler
