My personal opinion is the Tokyo Marui is the best of the stock standard weapons and truly reliable.
Its a good starter weapon, and you can always upgrade to a metal body and other bits and pieces when you have the extra cash or feel like pimping out your weapon.

But I am biased, as I mostly own TM's (8) and 1 G&G G4 CQB-R.

The G&G CQB-R is a very recent purchase and I am still evaluating its performance and reliability.

I have sat back and watched other people and their different brands, such as Classic Army and JG, and have seen some of them have issue after issue. I tend to let other people test the water first, and try not to buy possible problem child's.
But in saying that, every brand can have lemons.
