but one of my friends recommended the

Classic Army G36K
http://store.matrixbb.com/servlet/-s...6-Style/Detail

now i am in a predicament.. he told me the g36K is better then the C varient,
i want a good accurate rifle at long distances but also good for close quarter combat and support fire, he also told me if i want to upgrade the gun i should go with "SYSTEMA" upgrades.. ... what should i get???

Ugh.
First of all, you're not planning on buying that gun from that store, in the US are you?
Second of all, don't buy a C-Mag and slap it on an assault rifle and run around, thatg's douche-y and most of us play realistically with real mags (60-120 rounds).
Thirdly, make up your own mind about what you like, we're not going to decide for you.
Fourthly(?), don't upgrade your gun. You are new and a stock gun is fine. For damn sure don't try doing it yourself.

This guy knows what he's talking about.

Most places in Canada won't let you just play with a just a Cmag, Here in manitoba you need to heavily mod the gun to have the properties of realistic machine gun.

Well honestly, I say you purchase whatever gun you choose and keep it with its stock parts. Play with that gun for a season to get the feel for it before considering upgrades.

As it stands both of those G36 varients operate with the same V3 style mechbox, the only diffrences would be the bodies on the outside and the barrel length. So you may have a diffrence in the grouping of your BBs at a distance between the two. All AEGs essentially work the same, a battery that powers a motor that drives gears to move a piston that compresses a spring. Upgrades are good an dandy to change your ROF and your FPS but keep in mind that upgrades will in the end will effect how long your guns lasts. Even with quality parts, a mechbox wont last forever, it will just take longer to break.

Posting a "hey L33T newbie thread" in the general section?;



To add onto Tokyo7's info;

The G36K is a better all-around variant for general skirmishing. It's longer barrel length will give slighty better groupings. But I did purchase a TM G36C back in the day when they were "the shit" (like the kids say!) and brand new, and even with it's shorter barrel it was fine for outdoor use as long as you were willing to get a little closer to your OPFOR.

NO US store, yes. Your friend got lucky. A firearms license has nothing to do with airsoft.

Classic Army is good.

CA is a fine brand, so long as you or someone you know is able to open the mechbox and replace the piston assembly w/ a stock TM one. CA pistons are famous for self-destructing within 1000 rounds.

If you get age verified you can shop here on the classifieds section and probably score a better deal.

I didn't see where you were from in your initial post. Don't buy from US stores, unless you live in the US.
