Here is the spanner in the works lol
I own a G&G LR-300 & its an awesome bit of kit. I swear by G&G as the build quality is cool & solid. with over a years worth of rough and ready skirmishing its never missed a beat for me.
But: my son wanted a starter rif, so I got an Ares M4 for him to use. this rifle has been to every Skirmish the G&G has & matched it in range & performance, Although its not as pretty as mine or fires as quickly it still does the job with no hassles at all, he is 13 now and it has stood up to a years worth of battering as he is not by any stretch of the imagination a light handed kid. As a matter of fact his stings like a bitch when your hit with it.
Although I'd always recommend the G&G I'd never discount an Ares in my own future purchases. And I do like the look of the Amoeba its a nice looking bit of kit
