I'm looking for a good assault rifle/SMG, can someone help me out?

[MrMeeph]

Hello all. I'm in the market for a decent assault rifle or SMG to use in skirmishes. I have a price range of around $200, but preferably not over. Everything that I look for on places like Evike or ASGI are preorders, and they happen to be guns that I really want but don't want to wait very long to receive them. I just need some help finding something with good range, accuracy, metal gearbox, the works. I need it to be long lasting. I would greatly appreciate a push in the right direction.

That's a really broad list of weapons.
Tell us what kind of guns you like to help narrow it down.

I like weapons that are cool looking, but mostly weapons that perform well. Also that thread sucks big tits, I couldn't find anything I liked in there.

Compact weapons are nice, but if it sacrifices accuracy then its a no go. There ARE SMGs that have good range an accuracy, but most are pre orders or out of my price range.

Please define cool looking.

[MrMeeph]

Unique, like the Steyr or F2000, things like that, but if it doesn't perform well then its a no go.

The Army Armament l85 is relatively unique/cool looking. Has Blowback. Under $200 I think but its under £200 pounds anyway and accurate but compact due to its Bullpup design.

[MrMeeph]

Eeeh, one of my friends owns that, and it doesn't do very well... I'll give it a look.

So pretty much narrowed down to a good performing clone that is not your typical M4, AK, G36, or MP5 and is more or less geared for CQB for under $200. Lets see what I can come up with.

CA AUG A2 Shorty Value Package. I used to own the full size pro line AUGA2. Definitely a unique gun, though I recommend getting TM mags for it.

.....uh, well....

Other than that I can't really find anything that isn't a M4, AK, G36, or MP5 variant.

But if you want reliability, accuracy, and price, G&G's Combat Machine M4's are the way to go. Won mine as a rifle prized and holy shit it's a great rifle, performs better than most of my more expensive Classic Army AEG's.

I've heard about the combat machines, they do look like good guns. I'll check them out.

I know you said you looked at ASGI, but did you see this one? It's the AirsoftGI G4 PWS Blowback, made to look like the PWS Diablo.

Not a fan of the compensator on the end myself, and since we don't have to deal with recoil it serves no purpose, other than being a big chunk of metal on the end of your gun.
