Comparison between Academy M4A1 and TM M4A1 (courtesy of pyromaster who posted this in ACM Games Review Forum):

Here are the advantages & disadvantages of this gun as compared to TM.

ACADEMY M4A1 vs TM M4A1

PROS:
1. sturdy gearbox
2. steel gears
3. strong spring ( I'll say PDI170)
4. markings are accurate
5. japan-made motor
6. good adjustable stock (mas ok ang plastic material)
7. sturdier upper reciever ears
8. metal bushing
9. ported piston head
10. relax switch
11. bolt opens when c*cked (just like the TM's)
12. feels almost like a TM (sometimes better)

CONS:
1. Mag is not interchangeable to other hi-end brands
2. hop-up assembly is not compatible to any other hiend brands
3. hop-up packing doesnt have a (straight tube lang)
4. uses an mp5 air nossle instead of an m4 nossle **
5. cylinder is a bit smaller (may ishe-shave ka pang konti kung maglalagay ka ng alum cylinder head)
6. end of the barrel (connected to the hop-up assembly) is encased in plastic so replacing the barrel cannot be done not unless you have the barrel custom-made (ex. edgi barrels) or you replace the whole hop-up assembly.


**not sure if this is a con
