Sorry to bump this, but...

True, the parts are metal. However, TM parts are durable, high-impact ABS while CA stock metal bodies (not metal body kits, those are made completely different) are poured from sh!tmetal of the lowest quality possible. Its about as light as aluminum and about as sturdy as cheap plastic. At least, that's how their guns were a few years ago, maybe they've changed, but I doubt it.
BTW maul.. blame whomever you bought your CAs from on their defects..
Ive had way way more luck with my CAs and mine have been through Irene and many other statewide ops.
I got it from Airsoft Extreme, and my friend got his from someone else, also accredited, and both guns are permanently out of service, and have been since the first few rounds they tried to pop.
as for TMs being sturdy.. lol... give me a full metal CA any day of the week including metal gears.
Yes, yes, they're metal, sure...but have you ever torn down a CA gun and a TM gun of the same model and compared the build quality? The CA gearbox is a mass of metal and plastic parts that fit together like a rocket duct-taped to a Ford Pinto. The TM, on the other hand, is perfectly crafted with essentially no room for the parts to undesirably shift or wobble; if you must have metal gears or a metal gun, you have to buy a TM and get the metal gears and body from a third party. There is just no comparison. And go check out the specs... How does a fully metal M4 from CA weigh LESS than a "flimsy" plastic TM? Something's going on.
damn! and he's still your friend?
Well, I don't really see him much these days, but the reason he did it was because I shot him in the balls (he with his own gun, nonetheless), so I guess it was sorta kinda my fault.
The Echo M4A1 seems to be getting outstanding reviews from many people.
Didn't you learn anything from this thread? Get a Marui, dammit.
