All my guns probably arent up to standards (walmart crap), so I'm ordering a new one this week. I have a lot of other bills so cant spend much. The brands I've been looking at is jg, cyma, lancer tactical and ics. I'm leaning towards the JG M4A1. The ICS is a little expensive but if it's worth it I'll pay the extra $40.

I haven't messed with an ICS gun in a long time but I never had any issues with them. I would stay away from the JG and Lancer Tactical and get a CA sportline or G&G Combat machine. Or if you can pay a bit more get a KWA MOD 2
avoid lance, go JG if you have to,
Seek the Narrow Gate, for the path is broad and the gate is wide that leads to destruction.
I looked at your links to the guns and agree with Blain and Dev comments.
DISCLAIMER:
I aggree with all the posts above. i have my very first Cassic Army. after probably 5 rebuilds(last one done with recycle parts from Kahns Parts box). it still performs every time i have to take it out to loan it out.
For out of the box performance on that list the ICS will be the best. If you plan on throwing your weight around in the gearbox though the JG is a fantastic platform to build off of.
nvm looking at g and g's...

I was at AEX a few days back and they have these new King Arms M4's that come with basically everything you need plus 2 mags if memory serves me correct. All for the low price of $120-$140. I do not know their performance results as they are very new, but AEX smiled on them.

yeah the king arms gun have been flying of the shelves here in AEX sac, and honestly I would take one over the G&G combat machines. the king arms gun sound better when fired and they already have a high fps out of the box. something you may have to spend money on later with the G&G and it may not keep its rate of fire with the heavier spring. either would be a good gun at the end of the day though.
