I am not afraid of taking the guns apart because I have experience with real steel AR-15s and handguns.
Which gun would win?
- Out of the box preformance
- Durability and reliability
- Longevity
- Accuracy and range (I'm not too worried about this as I'm not in competitive airsofting and after all, it is a gas gun. But as long as it doesn't shoot straight one shot, then straight up the next I'll be good.)
I like the 416 build and style but the scar is unique. But overall I'll probably get the 416 if it comes down to aesthetics.

As some of the others have said, WEs are great and GHKs are good too, so it really comes down to a matter of preference. However, since WEs have been around a HELL of a lot longer in M4 form, there are a crap load of used ones floating around at a much lower price. Not sure if you need a brand new GBBR, but used WEs will be cheaper because there are more of them out there.
Scar or 416?
Scar - not as many cosmetic options to personalize it, but less common so you'll still stand out a bit from the infantesimal number of ARs out there
416 - can accept just about ANY AR accessory out there and there are TONS!
Between the 2, it's just a matter of preference and cash flow
The only real issue with WE ARs like the M4/M16 and 416, is the lower receiver can break around the trigger guard if you put too much stress on it by dropping it hard or slamming it hard into something. The GHK seems like it's a bit stronger, not that the WE feels weak by any means, I've just seen this as a common area for the body to fail.
