My previous topic did not appear and i don't know why that happened but nevertheless my topic was basically that i am upgrading from my 1 1/2 year old echo1 g36c and am planing to get an g&g gr16 carbine along with a intellect 9.6v nun chuck battery and a smart charger for around $325 and was wondering if i would see a noticeable increase in performance (accuracy, durability, ROF, etc) over my previous gun. I am curious to your opinions regarding this gun and if this is a good buy. I am at the edge of my budget with this purchase and am buying from Evike.com.
