Then dont get an M4, these days there is a massive variety out there you are no longer just limited to ar or ak pattern rifles.

Cyma make g3s, galils, mp5s, m14s, g36 and p90s.

There are loads of scar, f2000, l85, tar 21, masadas, famas and umps out there too and thats just from looking at 3 manufacturers.

Indeed, but as a first gun, which will likely become a backup or loaner, they make sense.  Cheap, plentiful, easiest to find spares and upgrade parts for, and fairly easy to sell on when you make the mistake of buying before playing and then realise that airsoft isn't for you.

Although, all that said... ;)

Some sort of assault rifle is generally advisable as a starting gun for the same reasons they're used by the majority of soldiers in the real world: they're a jack of all trades weapon that does everything sort of well but doesn't particularly excel at anything. However, I don't think getting an m4 as a starter gun is necessary and AKs, SCARs, g36s, L85s etc. are plentiful and just as good in airsoft. I'm always an advocate of getting the gun you like aesthetically; find one you like and then find a manufacturer who makes it well; I'm a big fan of Cyma, as they do a large selection of guns and they're generally fantastic out of the box, especially for the price. I've had an AK, mp5 and 2 m14s from Cyma and every single one of them have been great guns.

On that though, also think about how you like to play, so I'd generally advise renting for 3 games to get your UKARA before buying. Renting will allow you to experiment with different ways of playing and then make a more informed decision when you purchase. Want to play high speed and aggressive? Maybe an SMG like an mp5 or p90 is for you. Unlike in real-steel shooting, barrel length and calibre don't really matter; a stubby mp5 will perform just as well as an m4 or AK.

 
Although L85s seem to come pre-loaded with a fair number of issues (making them historically accurate).

Fair point though, get whatever gives you a tingle, they're much the same internally.  +1 for CYMA, they're cheap because they make so many of them, not because they're badly made. The cheapest ones have toyish plastic, and basic internals, but they're robust enough and you're very unlikely to go far wrong with with a CYMA AK.

Nothing really banned TBH.

However the APS CAM 870 comes close.

I remember The Mall in Reading did not allow the CAM 870 to be used.

Heck Taiwan banned the CAM 870 MK1 full stop, this lead to the creation of the dog awful MK2 and now we have the compromise MK3

It depends on the site.  The Depot (departed but about to be resurrected) banned all Dan Wesson style shell loading revolvers, Mk23s with silencers (which could be hiding barrel extensions), and all grenade shells, either shower or Whatever-Mikes.  It's always worth asking before buying anything remotely out of the ordinary.
