opinions on this gun?
 

im thinking of buying this gun - G&G TR4-18 Short, $429

unless someone can suggest a better one i could buy for a similar price

Google?

There's all kinds of cool deals in the classifieds. :)

i cannot Google another persons opinion

That was my first gun, and I still love it. Have had it for about a year now, and absolutely no issues or problems at all. It has a great sound (with the electric blow-back), shoots accurately enough and fairly far without upgrades, and it always felt very comfortable to me. Battery in the stock is super easy to access and change, but I usually got through a full day (and 700+ BBs) without changing.

I play outside, so the length is perfect. I shorten it up when I am in the woods, or tall grass, so easier to move around. I haven't played any CQB, so can't offer any comments there.

Sure you can. google "Opinions on airsoft guns". or "reviews"

i want the opinions of the people on these forums not some guy on yahoo answers

You're getting a G&G top-tech V2 gearbox, It's going to perform just dang fine like most G&G's do out out of the box.

I personally go for VFC when it comes to AEG's but G&G would be my second or third pick.

Save up some more and get a VFC HK416 man.
Their fit and finish is nothing short of beautiful.
Their performance out of the box is good as well.
