5 qualities when looking for Airsofts M4 CQB look

1. Airsofts Pistol M4 – When shopping for a high speed gun I always look for airsofts pistol brand (M4 Pistol). The reason I look for pistol M4’s is because of the cost, short barrel and ability to upgrade.

2 Airsofts Branding – The Brands we tend to look for rang from airsofts brand of ICS, VFC, and KWA.

  • KWA M4 CQB- The CQB Airsofts Model is fine but can be hard to deal with when it comes to changing externals. The internals are great, gearbox great but KWA’s two peace airsofts hop up could use some work. Keep in mind we are looking for something cheap and at 275.00 this is not cheap.
  • ICS M4 Pistol- This is fun gun to have when airsofts come to mind. The ICS has a strong gear set, poor brass bushings but can be replaced, plastic hop-up only works with ICS, good high speed motor, with a little love and care and little to no money I was able to achieve 30 + ROF with  11.1 lipo and good durability. Cost 185.00 Great buy
  • VFC Baby Pistol – This is excellent externally and internally with no complaints. It seems lately that many manufactures have been jumping on the VFC bandwagon when it comes to the internals. VFC has 8 mm bushings flushed not  8 mm bears : ( .  Don’t worry about this being bushings because they are flush with the gearbox and this allows for smooth rotation when the gears are spinning. Excellent piston almost like the Azmuith piston but in a clear color. Performance is like KWA and ICS. Cost 275.00 Great buy but not excellent because of the cost factor.

3. Airsofts – Upgrade-ability – When shopping for an airsoft gun I always look at upgrade-ability. I want to get a gun that will allow me to make many changes with the gear set, motor, inner barrel , hop-up, and piston. Some guns for instance ICS you stuck with using only ICS parts and this can be a head soar but with modifying parts of the piston and sector gear you can have a high speed setup. When shopping for an ICS make sure you know what you are looking for and what game plan you are looking for. High speed, High FPS, or both. When we airsofts make sure you know what you are going to for.

4. Airsofts Cost – The cost of an airsoft gun can be confusing and frustrating keep in mind when looking for an airsoft gun you want quality, price, and upgrade potential.  The externals can wait and over time you will have what you want.

This is my view on the top 4 attributes to look for in a CQB airsoft gun. If you comments or Ideas please post.
