Well Swat can use both M16, and the Sig, so i guess Swat would be good.

Well I wouldnt suggest swat. Black=ASS. (wow that came out somewhat wrong... ) Black doesnt work as camoflage. No one who does want to cam up is going to want you on thier team, same somthat goes for the desert though you will find that players will accept a good themed arid kit. Other than that DPM is nice and works quite well in our terrain.With an SAS theme any weapon really goes i guess but i dont think any one but cops use the SIG.

As another note the SIG and M16 are really different animals. One is quite stubby like an M4 and the other is fullsize. IMO both have merits SIG has a series 3 mechbox but uses a small battery(evil) The M16 uses a large type battery but a series 2 mechbox that is somewhat weaker(not a big problem unless you play when its quite cold or upgrade it)

There are more issues with each gun I suggest when you start thinking about getting one google(and im serious dont ask "what gun is better??!?") it there are going to be tonnes of reviews out there. your best bet is to check out a game, CIA just got a new field they are working on that sounds badass.

If I were you, I'd start with a [SAS] DPM setup. Once you've got yourself setup in DPM, expand your set (maybe instead of US desert, go with desert DPM).

And when you pick your AEG, think about where you play. If it's outdoors and open forest, chances are a CQB rifle won't perform to what you want.

your best bet is to go grab woodland (or sas) to start, you can use both indoor and out door, and will work with the ar or sig, then i would say get swat second so you could have an indoor and an outdoor bdu, i had a 16 and that was impossible to use indoors, my buddy has a 551 and loves it for in and out, i dont know too much about the 552, but it is really short and might only be useful in cqb. youve pretty much got two ends of the spectrum chosen out. either decide on what your going to play most often or see if theres a gun more in the middle ground. but out of the 2 id sayy the 552, cuz it will still manage outdoors and wil be perfect for indoors.

Go with a DPM top and brit desert bottoms, always looks the heat. I would take the 552 over an A2 myself. The small battery size is nothing a PEQ cant fix and a shorter gun is always easier to swing in the bush. Not to mention that its a newer design.

Go with Dpm. I can tell you form experience that it works well. Stay away from desert because does not blend in anywhere you will likely be playing.

I'd still suggest Des' pants and Temp' smock/shirt, seriously anytime during summer and fall there's alot of dead grass and leaves and that works with the Des'. Maybe grab some OG107 trousers for spring time or when there's more green floor.
