The CA is the colour and grain is the result of unfinished plastic. TM spends alot of time making their plastic looks just the way it does. If you *personally* prefer the look of the CA, that is your choice, but it is actually a much less refined product.

For the full size, it's much cheaper to get a CA. For the C, if I had to choose, I would always choose a TM for superior worksmanship, although the CA is still a very capable model, and a very close contender.

I don't know why you dislike TM so much, but I have yet to see a company that can match their overall level of quality control and engineering (and we have at least one gun of every brand of AEG in the store right now, so we regularly compare them to eachother).

TM is still the standard that all other guns are compared against (although some companies are finally picking up some of the slack, CA in particular, and some models, such as armalites, are becoming favourites over the TM in some respects).



As for a UMP, I'm surprised TM didn't make one sometime after the G36 actually, I will have to look at it next time I'm at the shop, but it seems like it could use a fairly standard mechbox, no?
