Yup. Advice from TM fanboys is why I got the TM. And it turned out to be junk.

Man, ain't that the true. I bought my first 'real' AEG from azn_trixta07, and it was a TM M4. He STRONGLY recommended that instead I buy a cheaper JG he had, telling me the JG's quality and reliability was right up there with TM. I made a few posts in the forum, and had everyone telling me how JG was crap, get TM since they're reliable, last a long time, etc...
When I first got it, I was pretty impressed with it. However, about a week later, I received my M15 rifle from A&A, and it was really hard looking at my TM the same way again... Then shortly thereafter, the TM ate its gears, and that was the end of that.
Now that I have more experience with airsoft, I can guarantee that unless it's a superb deal for really cheap AEG, I will ALWAYS choose a JG over a TM if looking for a cheaper plastic gun. I have 2 JG guns, and IMO, they're superior to the TM. They're reliable, shoot great, and hit hard right out of the box. Yeah, the batteries are shitty, but I'm not gonna complain for the price. Batteries are fairly cheap, and with the money I saved over the TM, I'm still laughing.
