Nothing from Marui gets my interest anymore. You can get much better elsewhere now. Anyone who still insists Marui is top dog all around is living in the past. They may have invented some cool stuff with AEGs and mechboxes, but they've had zero real innovation since and have been riding the coat tails of their own success since. You can only do that for so long. Regardless of Japanese laws, cloners, etc, they still haven't stepped up their game with any significant innovation in many years.
Although I will say that a stock TM AEG, if treated right, will probably outlast any other stock gun on the market, most people will only deal with the wobbly plastic bodies and low velocities for so long before going the upgrade route. And honestly, I don't know how many times I've heard stuff like the infamous recommendation for TM because "I've had my TM for X years and it's never failed me...". But when you look at those guns, more often than not it's had most of the externals replaced with metal bodies, stronger barrels, stocks, etc and most of the guts replaced. The actual percentage of TM parts left in the gun is quite minimal at best. To me, that negates the argument right there. Some people have old stock TMs, but I'd say those are a minority.
I consider TM to be pretty irrelevant in the AEG market. They should just stick to GBBs, since they do those better than most other companies.
