Haha thanks for the welcome! Yeah I'm beginning to hear a lot of positive stuff about G&G and at the moment I'm leaning towards purchasing a CM16 or most likely a G&G GC16 Mod0 30th anniversary addition. I like the look of the GC16 and it has a metal receiver - judging from reviews it seems to be a well built AEG and great for skirmishes! However, I obviously don't have UKARA yet, hence I'll have to attend a few skirmishes and hire a gun and hopefully send off for my UKARA. Then I'll look into purchasing a G&G....
