Best CQB AEG out of box?

[catsgowoof]

I'm planning on getting back into airsoft.
I wanted opinions on the best out of box platform for CQB AEGs. I was looking at the G&G ARP 556.

Budget is ~700, let me know what you all think

If you have a budget that high, you might want to look into a high quality gun instead of that overpriced low end G&G...

Like AKs? LCT's short AKs are excellent.

Rumors have it that LCT will release a MP5 soon, but if you can't wait, ICS just released a stamped steel MP5.

Tokyo Marui recently announced a new MP5, which stops shooting when the mag is empty and you have to HK slap it after reloading to get it to shoot again.

The ASG Scorpion EVO is very good, and also stops shooting when the mag is empty.

ARs are more to your liking? E&C has a good line up of short barrelled M4s that are reputed to be very good.

Plan to change all the internals and want the best externals? You can look into VFC short barrelled ARs.

Out of the box, ASG Scorpion Evos are a very good choice. It's a very popular platform that people just add accessories on and game with for years for a reason.

To add to this list, the VFC MP5 is also a VERY good option.

If you can find a used one, they don't make them with stamped steel bodies anymore, the new ones are zinc alloy and there's been a lot of reported problems with them. I was really looking forward to getting one, quite a let down. If LCT releases their's soon enough I'll get one, otherwise the new Tokyo Marui is very very tempting, waiting on the reviews.
