So I am confused...

Alright, so I was set on my beloved JG R36 to buy as my first primary. Now, my friend has his elite force m4 cqb for sale.

His elite force was the first AEG ive ever held in my hand, since I have met him in person, and that gun felt epic. I am slowly becoming more convinced to buy the cqb rather than the R36 because I have never held the R36 in person and the few videos I have seen of it in peoples hands its pretty tall? The video off of AMS, which I am not buying from, made it look a lot smaller, but whatever. And talking about AMS, I have heard that the way they write their descriptions for the guns can be deceiving, so I am kinda worried to buy from them.

I am not worried about the price range of either of the two. I need some help on which ones better as of performance OOTB. Like I have said many many times, I do plan on upgrading the gun later on, idk who will upgrade it (definitely not me) but hopefully whatever gun I pick can be a beast in the future. I will provide links to both of the guns at the end of the thread.

And the reason I am looking into the "smaller" AEG rifles is because I am small as well! Well, not too small, but yeah.

Not 100% sire thats the same m4 that he has, because he didnt have a red dot on it but he said his offer came with one. The review of that elite force on youtube only had a front iron sight but the one my friend showed me has both rear and front.

Thanks!!

For your first gun I always recommend the m4, and the reason why is that it has the most common gearbox (v2), there is more options for externals, and everyone and their mother has one, which means if you want to tech on the m4 or want somebody else to, it is the easiest aeg to do so on. Also if the EF m4s are the same as their 1911 line-up, the gun can take a beating.

Lol wut?
The v2 GB may be the most common, but only by a narrow margin. The V3 gear box has darn near the same amount of parts support. The V3 GB is typically more reliable and, based solely on my experience, easier to tech on.
It's true there are more options for external modifications with the M4 but at this point the op has not touched upon that.
I owned the JG G36 after buying it from a friend who was like 5'6" and 110. It's not a big gun in the slightest.

The JG you linked is discontinued. Though you should do more research for your first gun but I would recommend an M4. There are about thousand first gun threads here so read up those for your answer to the best m4 in your price range.

Apologies, I thought bullpup rifles and AKs only used v3s.
