Re: KWA M16 vs M4A1
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

Re: KWA M16 vs M4A1
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.

Re: KWA M16 vs M4A1
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.Jon The Pilot wrote: It's still there... Only one game every Saturday in GA. very small group, but nice group of fellas, just really into their gear.

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

Re: KWA M16 vs M4A1
I had that thought, but I need to sell the G36 to get money for the M4, and I don't play much CQB.Esteban wrote: Downgrade the G36c to 330 FPS for CQB and keep the M4 stock for field. BAM. Good combo.

Re: KWA M16 vs M4A1
Are you set on a KWA M4? Have you considered different brands like G&P and VFC?

Re: KWA M16 vs M4A1
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.
