Well after today's game at No Limits, I have decided to get a new gun, soon. I have three ideas on what to buy.
A) JG Sig 552. ( because I am cheep and the ICS is too rich for my blood) B) DE UMP. C) CYMA M14 So com.
My budget is about $150 - $190. I am really looking for;
*range* 'reasonable size', *light weight* and something to fight the wind.
I would also like to hear some other ideas, or comments about the three AEG's listed above
( good or bad)
I just want to make a good choice and not get pissed because the one I buy has no spare mags, or up grade options etc...
Please any help would be nice.

Are those the only three you want or just ones that caught your eye? Because there are tons of other AEG's within your price range, and much better performers. Do you care what "style" AEG it is?

I am just looking for some thig other than the typical M4, I just want to be a little diffrent. And those three really appeal to my "needs/ ability to look cool " . mainly the second one...

Out of the three listed I would have to choose the cyma m14. Why? The hop up design is the best. It lends itself to longer range when compared to other stock guns. Plus cyma's in my experience are very reliable out of the box. However, from your requirements it is most definitely not light and its a bit long. Still the best choice in my opinion.
Next I would choose the JG. However, I am biased towards JG and I dislike DE.

Although I use an M4, I find the AK-74M a very attractive looking gun, as well as the SCAR-L and H platforms. SIG's might not be the best choice, as they are much less common than other guns, and therefore don't have as many upgrade parts. A CYMA CM.031 (AK-74M) is withing your price range, as well as D-Boys SCAR's. G&G, while a little more expensive, also produces some quality replicas, along with G&P. I'd suggest you look around at some other options, too.

I have a package deal for sale in the commerce section. It's the exact ak da Vinci listed and it already has upgrades in it.

Well UMP, and the Sig would have "supressors", allong with longer inner barrles. But allong the lines of AR platforms, I dont mind haveing one; I just dont like to have the same dang thing as every one else. But I am willing to hear other options still. If it can still fit the *price and **size/ weight I would like to hear it.

Having a unique AEG and a small budget don't work. Because Having a unique gun brings up their own unique problems. Like with the UMP and the Sig 552 finding mags are going to be a pain. Not to mention getting the pouches for the UMP mags (Maybe a P90 pouch will fit them?). I think the Sig mags are similar enough to the G36 mags for you to find a pouch for them.
People run M4s, AKs, Mp5s, and G36s for a reason, They work. They are common enough to customize with the plentiful amounts of accessories they make for them. They have common parts so you don't have to spend hours trying to find a retailer selling the one part you need. There are so many makers you can pick if you want a low priced Chinese POS or quality product hand assembled.
I purposely left out the M14 because my personal experience wasn't that great with one. It was a beautiful real wood stock, but it was too heavy for me. I would get hit simply because I was too tired to shoulder the rifle and shoot back.(Towards the end of the Rec game.) So something has to give. Either you bump up your budget or you get a common AEG. The choice is yours.

Ok I will look for a more common AEG . And I see your point Mr. Dr. Black, and Mr. DaVinci, I did not think about the up grade and mag availability, problems while posting. Thank you for the heads up.
I will broaden my views.
But my budget is sadly going to have to be about the same. But still If any one has any ideas please comment. Any help would be nice.

As much as I hate to say it, go with a m4 for your first gun. At this point you do not know enough about airsoft nor do you have enough money to support an oddball gun. Also no offense to chubbs but do not buy a pre upgraded gun for a first gun, if something goes wrong you do not have the skills yet to determine the problem and will end up being screwed in the end.
So in the end I think you should buy a Combat Machine, it is within your budget and so many people have had them that all the problems are known and noted.

Alex is right on the money, with the caveat that MP5s, G36s, and AKs are also relatively known quantities.
