Hmm, SeaRex I suggest you ignore ferills advice (sorry ferill, but it's the typically shit airsoft advice that tripped me up and made me fall when I first started). Getting a good weapon that fires well is your first priority.
I suggest you avoid the Mach 11 spring weapon altogether, and get a good spring pistol instead. Doesn't matter what kind, any will do, so long as it has a really solid action, and fires accurately. Once you have your pistol, and have gotten used to it, get a rifle. Again, any kind. The m16 and m4 are the two most popular types, along with the AK47, and G36c (even though this is a bull pup). Go for m16, as it is the biggest range, and has the most quality invested into it.
The FAMAS is a french army rifle, and is good for short range skirmishes. Since short range skirmishing with bull pups is the shittest form of airsoft (oversized fast firing pistols), you'd be better off getting a rifle that can handle both long and short range. When you think about it, this is much better than, for instance, forking $250 for a weapon that in the end, only restricts you.
Do avoid bull pups unless you are seriously into CQB. I hate it, I hate it with avengeance, because it is so close quatered, and there are so many bbs in the air, that you just get killed within seconds of play, and end up having to spend the rest of the game dead. It's talentless, inaccurate, frenzied, unskilled bb-peppering, and annoys the heck out of me.
Your best bet, would be getting into long range, with heavyweight bbs and guns. They go further, and require more skill and accuracy, as well as stealth. They also hurt more at short range (yay!). Long range fights also give you a better excuse for wearing camo. An m16, with full stock, auto and semi, 20 round mag, as many metal parts as possible, and good, big, batteries is your best bet. Since the m16 is so popular, there are loads of things that you can buy for it, as well as loads of different quality levels to buy into in terms of the whole gun.
Look out for mostly metal parts, and crosshair/scope compatability.
Marui are god. They are the ferrari of Airsoft. Worship them, for they are wise and powerful. In turn, while you are worshipping, instead of spending, your bank will fill up, and you may purchase from the wise masters of plasticated gun violence. In other words, save up your yen!
Remember, pistol + rifle = good. smg + bull pup = bad.
