And what are many players with not that magical wallets doing? They buy chinese gun, chinese mags, chinese everything and TM gears. And TM won't survive just by selling gears. That is, of course, just what I saw, maybe elsewhere people still prefer to buy TM rather than method mentioned above...

Well you are wrong again TM is simply abiding by the rules in regards to metal components in their guns, the clones based out of HK and Taiwan don't have the maximum 280fps rule like in Japan so their cloned guns do not have to be plastic and since they allowed much higher fps unlike in Japan they are free to make theirs out of metal. The first batch of Classic army metal bodies back in 97 are so heavy and inaccurate to the TM dimension that most of the time we have to dremel it to make it fit the only ones that have a perfect fit are the ones that payed for the license from Tokyo Marui like PDI, PMI, Systema etc. Before the existence of King arms, G&P, Guarder etc there are companies based out of japan that does killer modification companies like Mosquito mold, carrot, PMI, PDI Killer studio etc. again due to the lack of enforcement from clone company that most of these companies with the exception of a few survive. It benefit us as a customer in theend because the choices that we have now eclipse the amount of parts we have back in the 90's, in the end even though we benefit from the so called rise of the clones in airsoft technology and manufacturing we still can smile and say thanks to Tokyo Marui for at least jump starting the airsoft movement swing going from gas rig to AEG and back to the current gas phase
