I would stay away from Ares, more trouble than their worth. Look at G&G for a budget gun that'll be good quality. Go get a feel for them at your local shop then order from a less expensive shop with better selection. Much of G&G's internals are similar across their lineup so you can get the same gun with different furniture and polymer body to fit budget. I agree with ThunderCactus, Aftermath Kraken is a great starter but if you go that route be sure not to get the kurz! I've had 1 Echo 1 that was, (is a great gun although my friend has it now), but they are primarily a rebranding operation so I hear they can be hit and miss.
