My suggestion is to fill in your info and get on the track of Age Verification.

Other than that, get in on a local game and ask around to handle peoples guns (ask nicely). Most of them shouldn't have a problem with letting you touch their guns and just see what feels natural to you.

Some people find bullpups to be a bit weird to handle (ie. not ergonomical) and reload however with practice you can get it down pat (the Australian, French, and British armies use bullpups as their standard rifle and they have no problem with the ergonomics).

It's just the same with me, I'm sure I can get a handle on "ergonomic keyboards" with practice however I just choose not to because they just "feel weird" to me (not to mention I like my current G15 and when I had it my diNovo edge (loved that keyboard but just didn't use it as often as I thought I would have so it went to a better home with someone who uses it along with their HTPC or something)).

Anyways for brands, I'm sure a used VFC with a few upgrades will perfectly fit your budget.

PS: We won't look down on your for having crapsoft (these days it seems like a way some of the new members start off with that and transition to "real airsoft"). I only look down on users who think their $100 gun from CrappyTire can run with the clone brands and is "just as good if not better" or w/e. Fact is they're cheap and pretty much throwaway guns that you can have your fun with but once it breaks goes in the garbage (hey I've had my goos share of fun with those CrappyTire guns but at least I know when it goes in the garbage).
