Yea sorry. I was thinking airsoft instead of pantball.
They hace airsoft rifles that are hopper fed, except they are usually the cheaper ones.

i am confused. .
Bassicaly he is saying give us more info. Do u want an aeg, gbb, gnbb, or spring. Do u want an m4, ak47, ak74u, aug, acr, scar, etc. What is your price range? (these things and more are in the link he sent you. You just have to add them to your very 1st post and then ur fine(although u might want to add them later on as well to let other people know))

TO SEMPER-FI. I have the A&K SVD and the bolt is easy all you have to do is put some silicone grease and its easy unless well your semper-fi and all the internals are great really tough and easy to upgrade. it has an extremely long barrel(really accurate) big freakin spring(farther shots) big mid-cap mag for a sniper unlike all those other snipers that hold 24 or below this one holds 60. Externally EVERYTHING is metal except for the grip and stock(tough plastic) so SEMPER-FI must have run his over with a car or somethin cus thats a though gun. And my friend just got the G&G GR15 and honestly it is a hunk of junk it always jams even with proslicks you cant be accurate over 40ft fireing rate is Ridonkulously slow and already his stock falling to pieces. the only thing i like is it looks cool

I said the bolt is stiff.Not that I cant pull itI have this and a bolt action one and its two times stiffer than the bolt action one.My gr15 has had no problems for almost a year.I think it was my mag that is bad,not the internals.The svd I have is probably defective...

G&G cm. They are great and will last longer than a jg/echo 1
I want proof on this one. Look, I respect Knief, and he vouches for G&G, even the CMs, but I can only speak from experience, and I have only experienced two G&G rifles. Both broke under 10000 rounds. Now, I consider death at 10000 a lemon, 20000 is unfortunate and 50000 is pretty darn good. Both of the G&G CMs I have seen broke along the the front of the GB, one of them within 300 rounds. It is quite possible that I simply attract lemons, as I had have some lemons come out of E1 (JG) as well, but it just grinds me to go 2/2 with gearbox fractures. Atleast the JG failure I have had were normally fuses. I'd even take a piston over a GB failure. I like that the CM line have nice tuning, with generally better stock shimming and AOE, but I've only seen one JG GB go down, and it was after 5 years, and it had long since passed the 50k mark.

I have no doubt that G&G's "Proline" is very nice, and it is on my list to check out.

Overall, my sample size is so small that anything I observe may be coincidental, but IMHO, JG has usually lasted longer than CM, especially with basic tuning.

The basic point of this post? I'm going to need to see something convincing in order for me to think that CM is going to outlast JG or especially CYMA on a regular basis.

I think the main thing going on here is quality control...
My friend has a CM raider and its going strong after 35k rounds on a 11.1, but my other friend has a JG m733 that has stripped gears.
I can say that for the M4 the JG AND G&G will both do you good, the G&G's body will outlast the JG's, but even then the JG's should last, so long as you don't play baseball with it!
