+2 for the CA g36 I bought one back in the day and another a year ago. They updated the design in 2010 and made a EBB version as well as the standard version. The body has been reinforced in a number of areas with thicker plastic and the plastic itself has changed (a minor change to the finish. it's hard to spot but you can if you know to look for it) The gas block assembly has been made thicker and various gearbox parts have been upgraded (better motor, selector plate now lacks the extra electrical safety, 8mm bearings as opposed to 6 mm bushings). The G36 also has one of the best designed hop up units I've ever seen.
As for mags, ya they're annoying. But I run PTS Pmags for the G36 and they fit and function beautifully. Buy them wherever you can. Sure they're like $24 each but you can jump on them and toss them across the yard with no damage. and they fit fine in most standard M4 style pouches ( I use HSGI TACO pouches).
