I have an A&K and a CA .. a team mate had the ARES ( junk.. stay clear of it)

Both have turned out to be workhorse guns..

These guns are handed off to whoever is assigned to our support section.. so they get ridden hard a put away wet..

the A&K was torn down and rebuilt when I got it as it was a used gun.

Trigger switches go on a regular basis and should be considered consumables.

the CA is a bit nicer for externals

Box mags are a PITA.. so we run these guns of Midcap mags now.. which does 2 things..

Ups the robustness of the system because you are not worried about breaking the boxmag off the bottom.

made the system more tolerant of bad weather..

reduced the ammo consumption to something more reasonable

VA brand Midcaps .. 5 for each gun which is a reasonable simulation of a gunner loadout of 750 rounds.

you can still lay down some good cover fire.. but you can't treat the gun like a bb hose.
