There's one good thing about Armalites that is good for noobies. It'll teach you how the AEG's work because they do break down. Its one reason why I went with the M4A1 to begin with is that because it does break down I will have to learn to fix it.


Barrel wobble goes from gun to gun I think. Some people are lucky others are SOL. There are ways to fix barrel wobble, one good one is a one peice barrel. But then you start getting into expensive external upgrades. The best Armalites to go with are the G&G, G&P and CA guns out there. For an extra buck at the till you make a big savings on having to buy metal bodies and one peice barrels, and even a RAS on the G&G and G&P versions. As for CA, I'm lead to believe that CA parts are hard to find ((someone correct me if I'm wrong there)).


Bottom line, Armalites are cool, they look good ((to me they do)) but you have to realise that the Armalites have some serious cons to them that you need to be ready for.


And even with me being a newb in comparison to some of the older folks here I do get to say this because my issue with the TM armalite was not the body or barrel it was the damn stock mechbox that kept blowing itself apart. The very FIRST upgrades you want to do is/are metal bushings and a reinforced mechbox ((if you change the spring that is, or plan too))
