Thanks for your reply MysteryFish,

I understand the chances of factory defects may be slightly increased and that the machine shops and quality assurance isn't the same when purchasing from some budget airsoft companies.

I also understand that some chinese airsoft companies have been trying very hard to improve their products and have read nothing but excellent reviews on the two above mentioned models.

The fact of the matter is that Airsoft in general is overpriced, not just japanese manufactures and Canadian retailers.

Real guns don't cost as much as airsoft guns in some cases which makes no sense to me, but whatever...

In any case, I understand the concern and thank you for the warning. but I also understand that it is crazy to think that someone couldn't make a decent airsoft gun that doesn't cost more then 200 dollars and am more then willing to take the risk when the alternative is a replica that costs 200% more then the real firearm.
