I just confidently bought my 5th or is it 6th CA gun and I'm a very have camper. I get a gun that is more powerful, comes with everything I need and nothing I don't need (cheasy literature I can't read, targets, fancy ass box), doesn't need to have every fucking piece on it upgraded to at least feel respectable and non-toyish....all for what it would cost me for a TM.

This "new" stuff is just lame. There's how many full WOOD and STEEL compact AK's out there now, that have all been proven quite reliable it seems and are generally just better in every way too. So now TM releases one that's almost certainly a hunk of plastic or cheasy pot metal (MAYBE, just maybe, aluminum if you're lucky), will shoot no more than 280fps and contain the minimal amount of parts to do that correctly. You'll have to buy a bunch of aftermarket externals and a load of internals that will likely put the cost over $1000....plus all the work, shipping costs and compatibility issues you'll get. Then you're left with a couple screws, levers, tubes and maybe a mechbox shell that you paid at least $500 for. Waste anyone?

This is the scenario with all TM guns. Which is why I never understood and still can't understand the TM fanboyism. And no they are NOT bullet proofly QC'ed either. There's plenty of cases of TM lemons out there. I'm willing to bet though that no one will go on an angry rant on the internet about it because they are thinking "well this must just be an extremely rare accident....after all, you can't go wrong with a TM"....

Well bullshit you can't go wrong! Buying one is the first step in the wrong direction most times! TM's are just wallet pimps. Since it's airsoft and we all know the urge to poor money into it....TM just makes the void to poor money into bigger with their minimal bang-for-buck mentality.

Only buy TM if someone else doesn't already make it better. Of course that takes some scouting and reasearch.

Not everyone likes to change most of the parts in their gun.
