If your going to the Fort Stewart game for SCAA on Saturday,  I'd be willing to let you give the M16 a whirl and see what I mean about the length  ;)

Go with the M4 since it's cheaper and more maneuverable. I use both of mine equally, but I prefer my M16.

It's still there... Only one game every Saturday in GA.  very small group, but nice group of fellas, just really into their gear.

I'd vote for the M4 as well.

Ahh no way I could get to GA anyway... My paranoid parents wont let me go to TT because it's too far away from Greenville. Like a whopping 2 hours..... ugh. I will change that though... Sounds like M4 wins.

lol hopefully.  Well good luck on your purchase, glad to see another minor saving up for a decent gun...

Downgrade the G36c to 330 FPS for CQB and keep the M4 stock for field. BAM. Good combo.

I had that thought, but I need to sell the G36 to get money for the M4, and I don't play much CQB.

Are you set on a KWA M4? Have you considered different brands like G&P and VFC?

Hory kwap. If I could do it again, I'd probably get:

http://shop.ehobbyasia.com/gandp-m4-ras-aeg-8mm-gearbox-version.html

The only thing is that it has deans connectors in the buffer tube. You'd have to wire a stick lipo to deans and buy a lipo charger.

I know Stephen will chime in with this...

... which is a great choice as well and a little cheaper than the KWA M4.

I dont want to mess with Lipos... Why are these better than a KWA?
