I read somewhere that it's illegal for them (because of where their factory is) to produce any airsoft gun that has a metal body. Something about the 'local' law. I don't know if it's true, but this is why I always skip TM guns when i'm browsing through inventories and such. Not to mention the first gun I ever bought was a TM Commando and the receiver pin loops were broken right off, causing the gun to open up without warning. Ever since then, regardless what anyone tells me, I will never trust TM again. It's just that "first toy you'll always remember" thing.
The only none full metal product I would ever buy would be a Glock or a USP. I could always replace the plastic slides with metal slides. Even if the ABS pistol was modded out to look like something spectacular, I still wouldn't enjoy it as much because of what it's made from. Whereas with an all metal pistol, it just feels right because you
know it's not plastic. To each their own I guess. I'm not saying TM sucks or anything, i'm just saying it's not for me. They have a huge amount of good looking pieces, but it's just the mental factor.
Sorry to hijack the thread.
