Two WE M4s here, very happy with em.
Not much to do out of the box (add an NPAS, drop in a heavier buffer if you want more recoil, lube like your gf is asking for first time anal).
Replacement parts are available. I have mixed feelings about the upgraded steel parts; seems like you need to start upgrading everything else once you add one piece (like upgrading a TM pistol) and given the cost and failure rate of the stock parts it almost seems more cost-effective just replacing with stock parts if/when something breaks.
I have a spare complete bolt group and a spare trigger group, both ready to drop in. Short of backing over the gun with my truck, I think this covers most problems I could encounter during a game and the gun could be back up in a matter of minutes.
The CO2 mags have been extremely reliable (and non-leaky); the new (v2) propane mags are supposed to be better as well. I generally prefer CO2.
The only major hiccup on the WE M4s is the stupid bolt catch. Having the bolt lock consistently on an empty mag is not reliable. But I consider this minor and just like AEGs you can tell when the gun is dry firing just by listening to it. If something has to be wonky I'd rather it be that; otherwise the gun is a laser (even the 7" SBR), feeds and shoots reliably and is a joy to play with.
