If you like M249s I would recommend the CA over the G&P. There are more options for after-market (and much improved) hop-up units and box mags for the CA. The CA is much less expensive and much easier to find used than the G&P (used is a good option because all you care about is the externals).

Most of the G&P parts (stocks, feed trays, bipods) fit the CA so you can improve the externals if you wish (I added the G&P feed tray because the latch mechanism is far easier to use than the CA). I don't believe the G&P outer barrels are compatible with the CA SAW because the CA has a very nicely designed quick release barrel which mimics the real thing while I believe the G&P outer barrel is only removable with tools. This may not seem like a big deal but a removable outer barrel is a very very handy feature to have.

The bipods on the CA and the G&P M249s are both garbage (flimsy and in your way most of the time).

Be prepared to carry a big HPA tank (4500 psi and 90-110 in^3) and at least one spare because you are going to be putting a lot of rounds down range. A P* SAW is a wrecking machine which you will thoroughly enjoy and the OPFOR will hate.
