I'd like an M4 or an XM177E2 and I'd probably invest in a scope or an aimpoint. I'd also like one with recoil, so I'd have to get gas probably. I'm not sure if you can get electric with recoil. I'd also like one which is made out of the same proportions of metal and plastic as the real thing, or very close. It just doesn't feel right having a light, plastic rifle in your hand.

Anyone do airsofting?

Airsofting with an m4 would be weird, damn things rattle like hell when you're moving along so any illusion of it being a real m4 won;t last very long
