1. Best for recoil - Inokatsu M4/ a custom built WA base system.

2. Avoid WE for anything other than the G36, they are poor quality rifles, as the price reflects.

3. Brilliant fun, and not suitable at all for any beginner, regardless of real steel firearms accomplishments.

dang i dont really like the g36 lol... are they the best we make then ?

 

[Rock-climby-Dave]

yes, and by a reasonable margin.

Basically, there are two systems for M4's

WE and WA (western arms). WA system is used by G&P and Inokatsu (maybe King Arms as well?)

WE is poor for gas efficiency and reliablility, but is cheaper.

WA is hugely superior in gas efficiency (see: Ability to shoot a whole mag on one gas fill) and isn't made of shitty pot/monkey metal, but that does come at a price tag.

WA also gives access to more spare parts and customisability later on, and larger capacity mags (50 rounds instead of WE's 30)

WE will take poor BB's - My Inokatsu has eaten everything I've tried so far, should be getting some madbull .25's off a colleague to try out as they are reputedly very hard.

Kick off either system (even on the Inokatsu) are not really noticable when you need to get rounds off in a hurry at a target, certainly nothing compared to real steel shooting.

They are simply not usable at a normal skirmish open day - you face someone with a £1000 rifle with £100 magazines which hold 50 rounds each and they have a £150 Cyma AK with a 600 round Hi-cap - guess who wins almost every time. I'll give you a hint - it isn't usually the person who has the more realistic rifle.

To be honest, gbbr's are generally money pits. You don't really have a choice about the price as without spending a fair bit, you won't realistically get a decent gun.

WE's are cheap and as Dave said, they're cheap for a reason and most parts to rectify this are expensive.
