As Mcguyver, Grim, Dozer and others have said, the exterior build of the gun is very impressive for the price (metal version). It is VERY sturdy, as much so if not more than my G&P. The mechbox is reinforced and has metal bushings. The cylinder and piston head are junk. The gears are very similar to TM, but not quite as good. The motor seems to be identical to an EG1000 (on the newest version of the M16A3 anyway). I pulled it out and, as Mcguyver pointed out awhile back, it is 100% identical. I then replaced it with an EG1000 and there was no discernable difference. So bottom line, replace a few parts (which you'd probably want to upgrade on a TM anyways) and you've got a pretty solid and metal AEG. Makes an excellent starter gun since it's so cheap and gives you something to build on. The outer parts (stock, receiver, barrel, etc.) are very good. I'm going to use them, as Dozer has, to create my main Systema-based AEG.
