I'd get an AEG. I don't think it will be very skirmish effective. Plus, mags are $50. If you lose one or damage one (especially if you add upgraded valves) you're screwed. To have even a decent capacity of ammo, you're going to be dropping enough money to create an arsenal. If you think about it, each 240rds capacity you have and you could have a whole 'nother AEG. I own an Infinity SV f6. Beautiful piece, but when a mag breaks, its a pisser. Plus, it isnt' very reliable. It's been upgraded to. When it does shoot, it does so beautifully, but it's just a collector piece now. I would really recommend getting a pistol (glock 18c) to fulfill your select fire requirement and use the money you would save (over $200 including the first 2 mags) to get an AEG, or maybe even a gas sniper rifle. The bottom line is that gas isn't as reliable, period. It's fun, but it has so many variables and requires so much work to keep it fully functional. Unless you're making a funky race gun, I'd say stick to the tried and true and go with an AEG and a pistol for backup only. If you want power and a WA, get a prokiller. There you'll have functionality, power and style. The gigant is just not a real gun and though it may seem functional, its just so strange and expensive it's not worth it. In all seriousness, it would be laughed at. Plus, without a vertical foregrip and a stock, it will be extremely unwieldy. And, for the amount of money you'd be spending you can do so much better in terms of usability and style. My analogy is this: I may be able to devise a powerful airsoft gun using tubing and a C02 tank and having it look like some sort of strange plumbing impelement (yeah you heard me, paintballers [
]). Though it may work, it defeats the purpose of airsoft - realism and skirmishing. If you just want to target shoot or want power, get a bb gun instead. The gigant is not going to be something that will resell at all, so when you find out it sucks, you're stuck with it. This is of course just my .02, but I considered the longest, auto pistols for awhile, and I wouldn't trade my glock for any of em when it comes to a skirmish. For collector's purposes, yes, but for airsoft, no.
