Between my girlfriend and I we have 4 guns

1st TM G36C - agree with all posts, it was the first gun we bought and out of box have had no problems. Quite a bit of game play, Solid, not too heavy for her, good rof and accurate. I found the gun a little small for me ( I am 6' 2" big guy ) but for CQ I recommend it.

2nd TM Famis - This one was for her son. Light, accurate, and has been relable so far. Did have a problem with the mag, her son hit the release a few times during play and we had to find it... lots of fun. Personally I don't like the style, too much plastic, but has seemed tough enough.

3rd G&G M16 A2 - This one is mine. Love it. Solid, good weight and big enough for me. The realism and all the upgrades out of box was why I decided to spend the extra $ instead of the TM model. No barrel wobbel, and it has seen a bit of use. It is a heavy gun though and highly recommend a sling. I have had to replace the tappet plate, so that concern is real, but gears seem good. Lots of metal. Hop up is a bit of a pain.

4th ICS MP5 - Just got it, again out of box already has more metal, and upgrades. Very solid gun, and realistic, again you pay a little more but as others have mentioned, if you pay on the front end usually cheaper in the long. Hop up is really nice to use.

Conclusion: Out of box I think a few upgrades are good to begin with, Can't say one make of gun over the other IMO, TM are the best to get into it for the least $$$, I have seen other makes with the metal upgrades out of box that make sense if you can afford it to start. Gearboxes messing up seems to be a concern but haven't experienced it yet.
