Beginner Guns Continued

I decided pictures and numbers make sense when talking about these things, so some great starter packages are here, all TM\CA \ARES compatible of course;

UTG kits are probably the cheapest and they tend to shoot pretty well, the problem with them is the grade of internals is...not so great. They tend to lemon out around 2k-3k rounds, and after that they could start to strip or quit. The benifit here is you can upgrade internals for around 50 bones, so you can get hi performance internals and the gun together for cheaper than the TM parent gun.

The Classic Army Sportline kits are usually decent starter guns as well, a lovely article gives a very in-depth review of a m4 variant here. The Sportline series is nowhere near as high quality as the standard series (which cost about twice as much) but the standard Classic Army series is known as the most durable and overall best out-of-box series of guns available. I believe it is possible to convert over to standard and possible better than standard power and durability from a sportline, though, as all the mounting spots are identical.
