Sorry, I've been under the assumption that canadian guns differ from those in the US purely in cosmetics and price. It seems that I was wrong.

G&G has arguably the best plastic out there (glass reinforced nylon I believe, what some call "polymer" which is terrible use of the term to differentiate it from ABS or polycarb) and is much stronger than potmetal, and maybe up there with certain cuts of aluminum.

For quality, I had a recent exposure to the G&G customer service. In the year or so I've had the gun, they have fixed every single problem that I brought up, and are also are looking into the o-ring compression issue. From this experience, it seems that the CS dept. and the R&D dept. are very closely connected, as a company like.. say... Ares, I doubt would have the same response or response time (second hand experience). ("issues" brought up were lack of a metal cylinder head SOLVED, magazine incompatibility due to gearbox bolt SOLVED, weak buttplate SOLVED, cutoff lever getting caught SOLVED, and I think that was everything. The solved is in caps to stand out, not because I'm yelling or making a point by point, but am just outlining my experience.

My experience with my G2010 (F2000): Takedown of this gun was excellent and well thought out. Removal of the upper receiver is accomplished using only one "pin" and the upper slides off (is snug through, so no wobble). To remove the gearbox, you loosen 4 bolts in the back, remove two screws and a plate, and you can pull it out. The battery compartment can fit a Cheetah-2N mosfet in a little slot underneath and a mini 9.6, although I'm running a 1000ma 11.1 lipo currently. The spring guide is removable which helps with reassembly, and also gives the ability to change fps on the fly, without disassembling the gearbox or changing the spring. The gears came perfectly shimmed, and stock components were of good quality, but I have since changed most of the stock parts. The hopup is good, and keeps its setting well (o-ring), and the access panel in the back is pretty easy to change (without gloves). As I said before, the quality of the shell is excellent, no creaks, the rail is all metal and runs along the entire length. I believe I hit the key points with the F2000...

With the combat machines, we have two of them as loaners, and we are keeping them stock until they break. They are very reliable, and shoot pretty consistently for how much we paid for them. Slight mag wobble, but this should be expected in this price range. The plastic in the combat machines are similar to that in the F2000, and pretty solid. Overall my team is very satisfied with the guns, although I haven't shot one yet.

By now I have realized the error in my ways, but this has been my experience with G&G: overwhelmingly positive, and sort of got defensive when they were called "junk". I'm maybe half way to the level of "KWA fanboys", and haven't found any problem that hasn't been fixed. I realize that my experience has been based off of one G&G gun, and opinions of my friends on the combat machines, but I have never heard anything so negative for G&G besides stock compression for the o-ring. Wow that was long...
