"Wut am bestest gun?"
We've all heard it from nearly every new player, and at some point have asked it ourselves. The answer is always debated, ambiguous, and never definitive. Well, I can finally say that I have an answer, and it is simple and defensible with facts.
Firstly, it is assumed that the answer must take into account affordability, durability, accuracy/range, FPS, internal and external build quality, and it should obviously be a popular model as well. It must be affordable; $240 and up is affordable. It must be durable; the AEG in question has had thousands and thousands of rnds through it, all on a LiPo at 26RPS in both semi and long full bursts with ZERO internal wear, even on the piston. It must be accurate and have good range; this has excellent accuracy and range as is. It must have a good starting FPS; at just under 400FPS with a .20g, it is the perfect FPS for the standard assault rifle setup in this state. It must have good internal AND external build quality; the gearbox comes well lubed and shimmed (which I can't say about nearly any other stock AEG), and it has an excellent metal body. It must be a popular model; M4.
What is this perfect stock gun you ask? An 09 and later VFC M4 E series. It is, without question, the best of all aspects as far as an average AEG goes. The one thing it needs to be perfect is a mosfet, as with any AEG. If you are looking for these things in an AEG, I highly recommend buying one. There are many great manufacturers out there that make great AEGs, but if you want the best combinations of all aspects in a completely stock gun, this 'am teh bestest'.
