M16 good buy for a starter?

Im just starting out in airsoft and was looking and doing research on guns and i really liked the Toyko Marui M16 A2. I like the gun cause im a tall guy and its a long gun so the gun wont feel to small for me and I like the military look. I was just wonderin if it was a good gun to start off with and if anyone had any suggestions. :?

You should also read about the rules of airsoft. You still have a few months to wait since your profile says you're 17.

But yeah, TM M16 is notorious for barrel wobbling, go with a full metal from CA or other manufacturer if you like the m16.

Haha , thanks Phenom for repeating exactly what I said but that's just the proof that we ain't talking shit. It's true so go with anything else than TM for Armalites.

they make the most reliable out of the box AEGs on the market , yeah. But the AR bodies suck. The others are ok but Armalite's suck , really.

You need to learn how to search while you're at it.

M4, M16 series are all armalites.

I suggest a TM AK-47 as an excellent starter gun. Solid, reliable... no barrel frex, and V3 gearbox instead of the V2 in the ARs.

Cheers!

Every TM AEG is perfect to begin with. They are simple , reliable out of the box. The 2 best TM AEGs are probably the AK and G36c

What the hell are you noobs talking about? M16 barrel wobble? It's not very noticeable. Once every month or so you could just tighten up a couple screws if it were to get loose, and you could go all out and put some thread locker on it. I owned a Marui M16 for quite a long time and only had to tighten up the barrel a couple times, and that was being gamed with at least once per week, sometimes twice a week.

Did you lads know I can fly if I flap my arms really hard? Someone post the same thing so these guys know I'm not talking shit will you.

The Marui M16 Series is not perfect, but it's still an excellent gun, even for new players.

Perfect?? Heh, I've seen people online talking about broken ones before out of the box. And if you can call plastic and no upgrades perfect than ok. But I sure can't and mabey this guy can't either.

Get a CA one or try and find someone to import a WGC custom one. Both will solve all your possible future upgrading expenses in one shot. But if you like paying almost the same amount for plastic, do that.......

Uh , I think you're mistaking here. The G36's that wasnt working out of the box were CA if I remember correctly. As for the TM M16 , I'm not talking through my hat. That's the reputation that gun have had for several years. There were thousands of threads saying the owner have problem with the barrel wobbling. Man , there are several vets here cursing about the TM ARs , I think Droc is one of them so may you ask him.
