Now we all know the common secondary is a GBB pistol or MP but I was wondering if anyone had any experience with using an AEG to fill that roll. What i'm talking about is using a short CQB style M4 like the one i'm thinking about the G4 PWS (link below). I can see the pros being more firepower if you get spotted and having something that can reach out & touch someone when you can't use a 500fps rifle. Also you wouldn't have to worry about the gas being effected by the temp. The biggest con would have to be storing it when not in use and how fast it can be deployed if on the go. So far i'm thinking a backpack with the zipper open on top but that could lead to further problems. Not so sure about a sling. So again this is where I ask for assistance from you all or to put your two cents in on the matter.

As always if there is a thread like this somewhere else please lock this one and point me to the open one.

If you want an aeg secondary get the mp5k. At least holsters are made for that.

I really can't see carrying two full-sized rifles being a good idea. If you want to reach out and touch someone, use your sniper rifle. If they get closer than MED, hide or use your pistol/machine pistol. Carrying a backpack makes you a much bigger target and a lot easier to find when you are prone. Having a bulky weapon swinging into trees on a sling doesn't sound great to me either, but it's your choice.

Maybe the P90 could work if you attached both front and back to the top and bottom of your chest area. However, that could create problems for crawling.

I use an MP5K PDW with a 1 point sling and about 7 mid cap mags. If you want another example you can try a SCAR or M4. Check out some of Daedalus' videos on youtube, search up airsoft daedalus.

I am thinking of a short M4. The PWS I have in mind will also serve another role as a CQB weapon. Also I would like to thank you about pointing out Daedalus to me. I even shot him the same question to see what he would think on the matter.
