Entry Level
The Double Eagle M83 is the best entry level M-4A1 available.

With .12 gram BBs it is fairly accurate in 5 round bursts. It shoots around 230fps to 260fps which is plenty if you wait for a target to get in range or are playing CQC. .12s are nice because they are very cheap, but they lack stopping power and can't cut through brush at all. They are extremely safe though, so if you are a parent buying for a younger child, this gun is a great way to get your kid a safe airsoft gun that they will enjoy and and also have them learn the ropes of basic airsoft safety.

In a pro-match you wont have a prayer in an open environment but in basic backyard wars, this gun holds it's own and is superior to other entry level weapons.

The construction is plastic and the iron sights twist a significant amount when you apply pressure to them but because you won't be engaging enemies at long range, this problem is not that big of a deal. The gun is very light and quick to the snap.

The fire-mode switch is plastic but easy to use and sturdier than other models I've seen. There is a secondary safety mechanism built into the main pistol grip (trigger unit) that requires you to be gripping the gun in order to fire. Placing the elastic band the gun comes with around the grip will cancel out this feature (which is what I did).

The accessories it comes with are okay, mostly for style. The laser pointer is very (seriously) bright but does not mount very straight on the rail. Mounting it on the bottom rail compensates for this but if you attach the gun strap it will block the laser beam. The forward pistol grip is plastic but it does the job and looks great. I was worried about over twisting the barrel unit by applying too much pressure on the pistol grip. The gun is light enough to not need the grip so I decided not to use it. I do not like the red cross (dot) sight it comes with but my friends do, it is a cheap scope that might normally cost 3 to 7 bucks. I decided to use a 10 dollar red dot sight that I bought separately (and can be easily transfered to new guns) instead. A red dot sight in conjunction with this weapons is very efficient. Do not bother mounting a scope with a zoom, this is an entry level gun and it's not accurate enough to make it worth putting that kind of sight on it.

The flash light is, eh... It's unsafe to play at night anyway.

The 2 plastic heat shields it comes with are great and cover the RIS rails you don't use so it's smoother on your hand. I think more guns should come with heat shields like this, it's a great and under-rated accessory.

Buy extra magazines, they are cheap and well worth it. The magazines are surprisingly sturdy and have never jammed or failed on me (and I own 6).

The battery lasts surprisingly long and although it can be a bit difficult accessing it, it is overall much better than other entry level batteries. The gear box is plastic so do not put .2gram BBs or heavier in it because you risk over stressing it. Try to avoid dry firing as well. If you treat the motor well it will last you a while.

The charging handle and forward assist do nothing and are locked in place. The hop up is located under the cartridge ejector which flips up and down. The suppressed barrel is great and provides backup for if something were to happen the main barrel.

Overall the Double Eagle M-4A1 gun is decent and fun to play with. If anything it looks and feels great. The price is very good as well. Don't waste your money an entry level weapons any more expensive than this, at that point it's worth getting a medium grade weapon with metal internals.

M83 Airsoft Gun
This gun is a really good gun solid powerful it also comes with cool attachments like a scope, laser light, holding handle, and a flash light. Just because the price is low does not mean it is a bad gun. I enjoy playing with it. Do not save up for a expensive gun because it is a great price for a great gun.

p.s. there are two types of gun one called A2 and B2. The A2 has a M4 Carbine stock, and the other is a M16 stock.

Has its goods and bad...
Ok so this is a pretty good gun for a beginner. It has some goods and bads.

I'll get right to the point

Pros:

-Lightweight
-Good fps (up to 250 fps)
-Good battery life
-Adjustable Stock
-Adjustable hop-up

Cons:
-Scope sucks
-Inaccurate on full auto
-Magazine holds like 28-30 bb's (depending on how many you can stuff down the thing.)
-You can't adjust the sight
-You only get about 22-25 bb's per magazine because when you go to take it out like 5 bb's fall out

Overall, if you are a beginner, go for this gun but buy an extra magazine or 2.

DO NOT use .20g bb's!!!

I would highly recommend going for the Double Eagle AK-47 or the Well R6E M4A1
