At least they're cracking down on airsoft over there because of real problems.

Not because of "Maybes", "Somedays", "What ifs" and other soccermom reasons.

Not 100% true

Any high end AK built based off of a TM will work SOOOO much nicer than something built off of a clone

That's completely based off how much of it you keep, For me it'd be almost nothing so it wouldn't matter.

If anything, I think those dvd places call the police themselves, to get rid of extra non-selling stock.

Yeah but normally the DVD stores open back up within a week or less. But it's been 3 months since the last crack down and none have opened back up. Apparently they actually have undercover cops roaming around the mall everyday now. There is still one store that operates but I think you have to call him or something. But whatever everyone can go the Oriental Center after paying a visit to Huang you can go downstairs and bask in the fake DVD heaven.

Nope.

It's completely based off of the fact that all high end aftermarket part manufacturers (Modify, Prometheus, Systema) use precision Tokyo Marui specs to design their parts with.

The difference could be the micrometer more of proper gear-tooth engagement or piston engagement to the fact that the bushings will fit in the gearbox perfectly without any wobble to the fact that the Anti-reversal latch wont shift backwards and forwards...

There's also the fact that all aftermarket companies that make GOOD bodies (not talking about element crap here) make them to be drop-in with Marui gearboxes.

So even if you don't keep anything marui... Marui is still one of the best places to start if you're not on a restricted budget.

Sad. My AKSU's brother, and or sister may have been in that camp. Oh the gunocide! Brings a tear to my eye...

Also, Dboys AKs, the "S" versions anyway, are great. I haven't dropped mine yet, but I've heard stories of crazy high falls, and no damage.. That says alot. TM couldn't manage that..... ever.

Not talking about stock externals on a TM, I'm talking about the soul fact that aftermarket upgrade parts are MADE for a TM box. I'm not sure if you've ever been inside a Dboys box... but there's quite a few things in there that give me quite a headache (the damn ARL hole being so bloody big is one of them, it causes the ARL to shift back and forward instead of just pivoting like it should)

I'm not saying that clones don't have their place, I'm saying that from a PURE performance outcome, 2 AK's upgraded the exact same (Say a TM and a Cyma) the TM will preform better due to all the parts fitting perfectly.

But anyway -- Lets just drop this whole thing. Clones have their place, and OEM builds have theirs too.
