Airsoft Gun Suggestions, Experienced players?

I need a suggestion on airsoft guns. I'd like to stay under 300$ but if there is one that just blows anything else out of the water then 350$ would be a possibility. What I have my eye on right now is the G&G FN Herstal Full Metal FNC AEG Airsoft Gun ( Licensed by Cybergun ). Right now I do have a limited edition JG M4A1 carbine (Bought it in 2010) with a mosfet chip and what I'm guessing are good internals. Its a good gun but I'm getting tired of m4's. I have a lot of gear that goes on it and the FNC is supposedly compatible with m4 type gear. So I'm pretty interested in this FNC because it isn't a gun you'd see on the field everyday and it is realistic looking with superiorly long range and deadly acuracy at even a good 200ft. What I want to know is, given my budget, what are the high end brands that make great guns out of box. I don't have any experience with upgrades but I'm open to learning. I would like the knowledge of experienced players suggestions of highend AEG's that are realistic(Trademarks and licencing would be a plus), pack a punch, and work well at atleast 175ft. More if possible --HIGH FPS AND FAR RANGE ARE CRUCIAL BUYING POINTS FOR ME--, and be able to take a 9.6v or even a lipo 11.1. Links would be great aswell. Thanks!

    If the G&G F2000 is anything like the JLS F2000, you might find the sights awkward and difficult to use and it's very back heavy, as with most bullpups. The rails on most airsoft guns are essentially the same anyway. What I'd suggest if you don't like upgrading are brands like G&G, KWA, Classic Army, VFC, AGM and most especially, Tokyo Marui.

    I'd actually suggest learning about upgrading your current gun because it'll be cheaper and better than buying a whole brand new gun. Get yourself some compression upgrades like a new cylinder, spring guide, piston etc., new gears and motor, a new hop up bucking, a new hop up spacer, a longer and tightbore barrel and then just use heavier BBs. If you can't be bothered to do this yourself, your local airsoft shop should have a gun tech there to do it for you. As much as possible, don't get a stiffer spring without getting durability upgrades first or else you'll break your gun faster.

    Finally, don't make high FPS a deciding factor. FPS is overrated. Most high end brands actually have lower FPS than the cheaper ones to improve durability. Most cheaper brands have high FPS on their guns to appeal to less experienced people who think that FPS is the be all and end all of everything. As far as range is concerned, heavier bbs and a properly set hop-up will give you plenty. Also, trademarks and licensing are just a way for manufacturers to hike the price of their guns up.

    I would reccomend asking him if he would rather have a BB gun instead of an airsoft gun because they are more durable and powerful.
