M16! Well the CA M15A1 (Which is actually based off of the XM16E1, the experimental version of the M16) You can see her bottom right of the first picture.

I've not had a problem with leaking (yet). Valves and seals are replaceable so would only cost a few quid to fix.

The mags are a hefty expense if you want to skirmish as you'd need seven or more.

I only use mine in the garden at the moment.
