The soc 16. Isn't much longer than an m4 with the stock extended. My word is if you are looking for a good base gun with no extras(mags, grips, optics, etc.) go with the combat machine. If you are looking for something to get more stuff with, like mags, better battery, upgrades, get a cyma ak. But seeing you are a beginner player I'd just go with the cm with a 9.6v 1600mah battery and get out and play.

Well tomarro I am going to go and check out some diffrent G&G CM AEG's, and by then I think I should have a good idea. I should be able to get a New AEG by the end of next week; as long as my car does not crap out on me. So thank you all for the help.

This might not help much, but I'd like to say that you should never get an obscure gun model for your first gun if you want to save money. Sure, you could get the gun that you personally think looks the coolest and matches your style, then upgrade it, but I got a SCAR H for my first gun and it's a huge pain in some ways. Yes, it's a V2 gearbox, but magazines are 30 dollars each, and mag pouches are harder to find. Once you're really into airsoft and have a bigger budget go for it though.

My first AEG was a JG G36 and I loved that rifle! I than bought a M4 as well as I was very familiar with an M4 as I used one in the US Army.
I currently have a G&G Raider and an Echo 1 M249 SAW. I have had unique rifles such as a G3 and a P90. It is all in how the weapon feels to you. Some people run with MP5's where others carry M14s. It is what you feel comfortable with. Best advice is to go to a field and see what people have and ask if you can shoulder the weapon once.
As for suggestions, G&G's are nice. Something different, the Dboy AK rifles are awesome. I actually regret getting rid of mine. It is all in choices.

I would highly recommend a used Tokyo Marui. Honestly, you can't go wrong with a stock Marui as a first gun when it comes to reliability and quality out of the box. I say this because I agree with the others in that you don't have the budget to be picky about aesthetics/customization. With your budget you should be looking for reliability and longevity putting aside the "cool factor" so to speak. You will be much happier in the long run when you have a gun that functions without issue than something that might look pretty sacrificing function.

I think you got your definitions a bit mixed up there Parting something out is pretty close to what it sounds like. When somebody is selling something, i.e. a suped-up AR with tons of accessories, sights, etc., that's a "package" deal, as some call it. They may "part it out", or sell individual parts instead of the whole package only.

Ahhh, Thanks for the correction Mr. Da Vinci. but if you still see my point does it sound like a good idea? Or would saveing a s**t load of money and buying it 'all' at one time sound better?

It's a matter of personal preference. I've changed my mind about what I want my gun to be so many times I would've lost a ton of money if I bought everything in the beginning.
