Stuck on choosing my first AEG

Patently incorrect.

Speedbird's right, but thinking MOAR BARREL = BETTER PEW is a logical thing to think (and I think excusable to the point where 'patently incorrect' is a tad harsh)
It just doesn't work out like that in the wild world of airsoft.

At short-ish range my TM Hi Capa pistol shoots as accurately as many of my rifles, but the list of reasons for that 3" barrel performing as well as ~10" barrels in the other guns... is long and varied.

Perhaps I was a tad harsh - but this isn't reddit - incorrect information needs to be stomped on quickly and firmly.

And the subject has been covered ad nauseam - I couldn't be arsed to type out the same old bollocks about it.

Next time I'll try to slightly nicer about it. ?

I'll put in a vote for a JG G36, even though you didn't shortlist it. My mates one ran for far far longer and far far better than it had any right to considering the total lack of maintenance he provided. To the tune of 5+ years he only ever cleaned the barrel and it just kept on trucking. 

Have you considered pouches yet? I know G36 mags can be bulky, and they have the locking lugs sticking out of the side. Most people seem to use single pouches from what I've seen, pouches designed to have two M4 type magazines together often won't fit two G36 mags. Just something to bear in mind when choosing kit. 

Welcome to the forum mate.

I have looked at the JG and I am considering it as it seems quite good. 

I have also checked pouches and what I have now should work.

They're fine. Not magical, and sadly it looks like they've dropped the adjustable spring tensioner which is very handy for fine tuning power.  Robust, a bit prone to semi-auto locks ups with the stock motor - the V3 trigger doesn't help here.

Really, any G36 should be fine, it's more a question of what's in stock at the moment.
