Looking to jump in.

I'm currently deployed in the Army and have been in for a little under 4 years. But I'm getting out and returning home to MI and am looking to make some new friends.

I'm looking at the ARES L85A2, mostly because I've always wanted the real gun and know I'll never have one. Dealt enough with M4s and M16s for my lifetime.

Anyway, anyone have experience with this specific weapon? I'm quite interested in getting into this and enjoying some games with you guys.

Also looking at the short barrel G&G EBR M14 as an alternative. Would this restrict me to a sniper role? I definitely wanna be up close. Can AEGs use selective fire? I'm definitely partial to semi auto and accurate shots.

Get the ICS L85a2. It's about a thousand times better than the Ares one. If the Ares one ever broke you'd be screwed.

Welcome to MIA man. I haven't had any experience with either weapon but the weapon type for the most part won't restrict you to a specific role. The FPS and the rate of fire is typically the big factor when it comes to engagement limits and ranges.

The majority of AEG's do have selective fire so you can go semi and full. I'm partial to semi auto as well. If you are able to do in a few shots what most can only do shooting full auto then you are already on the right track.
