Been looking to get an AK74U, and after a week an a half of internetting, am thoroughly confused.

The main feature I'm looking for is that the gun does not fire after the mag is empty, like AEGs do; this is both for realism and so I can tell whether I'm actually firing.

At first I was looking at the Marui EBB one, but those are apparently discontinued? Or, impossible to find, at least.

Now I'm looking at the KWA AKG 74SU and the WE AK74UN. The WE looks a bit silly, but is also cheaper, enough so that a wooden handguard becomes viable.

My main question at this point is reliability, I've read both have serious issues, KWA with the hopup, and WE with the trigger mechanism. Can anyone with experience comment on this?

I've also seen that KSC and GHK make AK74U GBBs, but KSC is apparently just bad, and the GHK one does not have bolt catch (which sounds suspect to me, but I'll look more into that later)
