When I first became interested in airsoft it was because some guy opened a hobby shop here in town called "Northern Hobbies", all he sold were G&G products and back then I had no idea about the various brands or inner workings of airsoft. I knew about companies like TM that carried a big reputation and when I asked him about that he told me,

"Oh, yeah... G&G is pretty much a rebrand of Tokyo Marui." ...

At the time, I took his word on it. I never did buy any of his guns, because the mark up was high and he only carried four different guns (an AK, M4, M14 & MP5, I believe) but I was converted from paintball from that interaction. Decent enough guy, but the store closed down only after a few months of operation.

I would recommend G&G to somebody who wanted to try out airsoft without breaking the bank, even their Combat Machine Line (compared with a CYMA or Jing Gong) is okay so long as you are prepared for frequent breakdowns. As most of you mentioned, parts availability is better for G&G so you can beef up the internals and have a decent skirmishing gun.
