1.
- Avoid the really cheap clones of stuff (that's true for anything)...i.e. the ACM version of the WA/G&P platform.
- take a look at how much the parts/pieces for that rifle cost...vs...what amount of customization you're going to want to do (i.e. WA platform guns have zillions of extra parts/versions/etc..)
- take a look at how heavy, and how expensive the magazines are...and double check your budget (i.e. ProWin mags for the WA system are great...but cost, here, about $100/mag and weigh a ton)

2. Up to you...each platform has it's pros and cons. Search more and find out what they are.

3. Get the FPS adjuster for whatever system you get. Get a chronie to actually see how hard you're shooting. Really, really do research about the mags...

4. Plow through the big threads on gas guns...go to the Gas Gun Info forum and wade through the masses of stuff there.
