AEG Manufacturer info needed
 

I'm looking for help to determine which manufacturer is better all around. let me know which name brand of AEG:

A) lasts longer
B) has a better motor
C) is better quality
D) ir most reliable

A)TM
B)TM
C)TM
D)TM

B is actually CA, but the motor is such an insignificant part of an AEG, compared to the rest.

UTG- Price to preformance vs TM is insane. Puts TM to shame if you think about it. Slap $250 worth of internals (bring it up to the cost of a STOCK TM MP5) and you have a gun that would blow it out of the water. This is only the case with MP5's though. I think UTG is coming out with an AK soon.

The AK is already out, if you read airsoft retreat (lpeg and springer land...) they are raving none stop about it, and the mp5.. and the wells stuff, AND the "new" cyma. Silly americans.

Not sure about the infrared reliability but unless you paint them with bowflage they glow on GEN2....

I disagree!

I love my CA and it's the best/smartest/cheapest/coolest/most realistic way to go.

I prefer TM guns but my opinion is probably biased because I have mostly been exposed to TM guns.

The most recent CA guns are quite nice, but that said I've rarely seen a "lemon" TM right from the factory.

tm has their shit together. when they released their mp5's some 15 odd years ago they were the shit, utg may have matched them now but lets see them match the m14 or p90, or hey just for kicks a gun of their own design? don't forget that tm designed the aeg as we know it and that their "competition" (ca, G&G, G&P, ics, utg etc.) didnt really try to do anything interesting internally, just copying tm or systema style internals but without much finesse (improperly meshing gears, rough mechbox interiors, crappy motors etc.)

still, ics has their mp5 externals down PAT as does CA (minus the wacky trades). CA has excellent gears and motors, good g36 bodies, good solid m4 barrels (i respect them for not copying tm's silly multiple part barrel design). interesting things are happening with CA and G&P starting to adopt 7mm bearing bushings in their v2 guns, hopefully they'll be good :)

Tokyo Marui for me :)

TM stock MP5A4- ~$430
UTG MP5 + Guarder tune up kit- $330

With the extra $100 you save, you can get 10 star mags and a battery.

Don't even need a battery - comes with a 1100mah NiMH.

And from experiance, it ain't crap.
