    JG G36s are the commonly suggested ones. Also the G&G plasticas are good. Also the mentioned DBOY M4 is a brilliant little gun. Just make sure to get a common gun like an M4, G36 or MP5 so you can get parts for it.

    Can't go wrong with the ASG/JG G36, MIA have them in stock for 150, maybe a bit less. I bought one a couple of months ago - very pleased.

    How much do you want to spend because I would recommend what I did and buy a JG G36C and if you have extra money you could get a pistol which are great fun and easy to use. If you were to buy a pistol too I would reccomend a glock 17 its about 95 euro and very good beginner pistol.

    Firstly.... I would suggest an assault rifle. It's usable in all situations, and is the best beginer's weapon. Pistols come later when you need/want backup. a sniper rifle is not the magic 'reach out and touch them' stick of call of duty 4 hon, It's a specialist weapon. You can get one and try the role by all means, but as a first weapon? AEG...

    My recomendations?
    JG g36c. Compact, reliable, workhorse... best beginers aeg there is, which still competes next to 'professional' ones.

    Dboys m4? nope, ar15 models arent quite as reliable for the beginer... yet to hear of a 36c go down, mostly just m4s... (Also the ar15 series is annoying to work on.

    other recomendations:

    Cyma mp5, compact, fun, and reliable.

    TM 90... awesome range and performance stock, fun, compact, and reliable as the day is long.
