The best mid end assult rifle

im thinking about getting an assult rifle for woodland games. What do you guys think would be the best gun to buy?

How much money do you have to spend?

under $200

Any type of gun in mind, like an ak, m4, or something else?

Well, the Echo 1 614 is a great gun with a great package and that's $200. Or you could go for one of the M4/M16 variants Echo 1 offers. Or the G3,G36,AUG,M14,Mp5, and most any Echo 1 gun. But i would go for the 614 because of the extra mags, interchangeable barrels, RIS, flip up sights, and the fact that its going at 400+ fps.

id go with the 614... they are very sturdy... only con is that they have a very slow rof

Yeah go for the 614. The accuracy was much better than my friends VA MP5 which has a better hop up bucking installed. (the MP5 was using .25s and the 614 was using .2s!!!) (this was the JG, but they are the same gun)

I can't imagine the accuracy with .25s. As far as the interchangable barrels........ it is pointless because it is just a hollow tube basically. It is very useful if you want to put a long tight bore barrel in though. Buy the E1 over the JG version because the E1 comes with 2 high caps, interchangable barrels, and a PEQ box. The ROF is very slow though. If you upgrade the motor or put a 9.6 in you should be fine. (a motor will definately help, but I don't know how much of a difference a 9.6 will be)

It is solid and the metal RIS rails are sweet. Get a bipod for it though, because it looks dang sexy

i was thinking in getter the echo1 ak74 (the fullmetal full size one)

Well if it has a stick battery then your limited in size and it has no rails and a slightly lower fps ,but I don't know much about the performance ,but I'm sure that it is at least decent.

yeah that is a good gun but i would go with the G&G M4 Plastica personally, it is far more reliable and will last you longer.

I would also vote G&G Plastica M4. It will be better than the 614. It is 170 dollars at airsoftgi or airsplat. (You will need to buy a 9.6 battery because the gun does not come with a battery and I've heard it can only run off a 9.6) ROF is about 1000 RPM with 9.6

I would only buy the G&G plastic if it came in the m16a3 or m16a4... What would be your second choice?

the echo 1 g36c of course! upgrade the battery and maybe a tight bore barrel and your ready to rock!

I have the E1 G36 and it's definitely not the best gun for woodland. Get the plastica M4

I think that if you like the AK-74 then get it because all of the guns listed have their ups and downs.

whats wrong with the G36C? im not trying to start a fight but i just want to hear your oppinion

The VA AK74 RIS is pretty good

It isn't as powerful and accurate as the other guns. It's a great gun, but it isn't the best for woodland.

So what would it be good for, CQB?

No guys im talking about the fullsized ak74 (not the small one)

Yeah, we know or at least i did. I think it is all up to you. I was gonna get the AK but decided that im gonna get the G&G plastica. If you dont like the G&G or any of the others, the AK is a great gun.

if you are referring to the G36C, yes it's perfect for a blend of CQB and woodland. (We play in the desert and the battles are kind of close quarter one minute and then we are engaging at long ranges the next.

I wouldnt really call the G&G Plastica a mid end. It is pretty much a Tokyo Marui. Maybe with a little worse internals. But good enough to be a Highend.
