@Eyeore : nice vid, simple and to the point. They do have a sense of humor at RW. Good for newbies.
@OP : Don't go the exotic way on your first AEG. Stick with the more common platforms, be it the Honda Civic of the airsoft world (M4), the AK or MP5. Parts and gear varied and easily available for those.
I will not favor one brand over another. Read the reviews (tons here, at Arnie's, or just Google the model), scan the classifieds, you will find good deals from time to time.
Things to think of :
-Battery in front or back ? Mini, large or special (crane type) ?
-A longer weapon can be a hindrance in CQB or thick bushes, too short a barrel and you loose accuracy over mid-long range engagement distances (not that much in my opinion, but some will debate this.)
-What type of sling ? Does the chosen AEG have the needed attachement points ?
-Optics ? It needs rails (which a stock "standard" AK lacks, and an MP5 requires a claw mount, you need to buy it)
-And etc. all the funny shit you will peruse the classifieds and the web for countless hours...happy shopping !
Looking forward to see you on the field.
