If you don't like the look of them then the Well L96 is also a very good platform.
Other hobbies? Well, lets see..
Building stuff on 3DS Max, Photoshop (concept art), working on my car, was an avid animator a few years ago, RC flying, airsoft...

Replaced the inner barrel with a 500mm tight bore (Suppressor hides it) added a Madbull clear bucking + H nub, tightened up a few things here and there.
Has pretty good trigger response with an 8.4V Battery!
