maybe not the utlimate best but definitely better than a m4 (IMHO) is the humble AK for the following reasons;
the hop up unit- bolted in place so the airseal is better between the hop up unit and gearbox, also because it is bolted in place shot to shot consistancy tends to be better, also the ak hop up adjuster is less prone to "creep" even with high ROF setups.
the ver 3 gearbox is externally wired- so the fitting of mofsets or thicker guage wiring is less troublesome and leaves more options, and because the wires are not as contained they can cool faster.
the ak makes use of a motor cage- leading to much better and stable motor allignment, with less end float of the motor the gearbox is a little quieter and the gears last a little longer.
not as many mag "issues"............
the newer mid range Ak's are coming with proper steel (not pot metal) receivers.
plus, you can test a ver3 gearbox on the bench without having to reassymble the gun.0 -

Touché Lar, touché.. I do not like AK's but doubt few can argue with that.. although it appears Dex has made a compelling argument

Lego is one of the most popular toys in the world. It earned that popularity by being something that can be built to the instructions, or something that you can build to your own ideas. Either way, the result is what you want it to be, regardless of how mundane or madcap your vision was.
M4s are basically the same thing. They are to the airsoft world, what lego is to the toy world: an infinitely customisable system. Parts are plentiful, designs are everything from basic to unfathomably odd, and - for the most part - the results are fairly unique to the user.
Personally, I love me a bullpup. F2000s, Tavors, AUGs... you name it. They all look like their various iterations, though. Very little room to "move in", and make it your own. Ditto the AKs, G36s, and MP5s that are so popular. They all work great, and there's a lover of every kind for reasons ranging from aesthetics to comfort, but on a sheer point of customisation, nothing comes within reach of the M4. That would be one of the main reasons it's so popular, and - like Lego - will remain so popular for a long time to come.
While I do not like M4's, the AR platform offers the most choice of any currently available, so even I've a couple of non Delta ring AEG's that are pimped out to the nines, as they just work so well overall
(also, when not playing with guns, I still play with Lego from time to time, it's that good)0 -
