airbaseNG Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Currently I have an Ares Amoeba AM-016 M4 and a Tokyo Marui G17. Looking for a back-up rifle mainly for outdoor use. Spend say £200ish and would be handy if it was an M4 platform running 7.4v LiPo sticks. What do you recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CES_williamson Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Best bet would be something really reliable like a G&G or TM, In my opinion anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrightCandle Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I have come to value the split gearboxes of ICS for my backup gun. The ability to change the spring in 1 minute is extremely useful in the backup, it can be a woodland power one week and a CQB be the next. Something with a quick spring change in my opinion is very useful for a backup so it can deal with every site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airbaseNG Posted October 19, 2016 Author Share Posted October 19, 2016 G&G GC4 G26 seems reasonable and pretty good, any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostly Retired Moderators L3wisD Posted October 19, 2016 Mostly Retired Moderators Share Posted October 19, 2016 I've recently been in the same boat. I went for a G&G CM18. It was £165 from Zero One and for the money, I'm very happy with it. It is quite plasticky, but the build is solid. Only wobble is from the stock, and that is only slight. Shoots really well, good rate of fire and range is nice too. And it looks different to the CM16 and Raiders that most tend to get - the two tone Black/Tan is nice. Not sure how accepting of LiPo batteries it'd be though. I've got Nimhs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airbaseNG Posted October 22, 2016 Author Share Posted October 22, 2016 I ended up getting the CM18, pretty nice gun out of the box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only problem I ever had with it was that I thought 250 grams was too expensive for iron sights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
