My TM MP5 has been through hell with me. Ranging from bearing my wieght when I tripped & fell and landed face first on concrete, broke my fall with my MP5, not a scratch and worked like nothing happened. Been dropped, bounced off trees, hung up on crap while running, never missed a beat and fired no matter what.

well a full metal AEG would be best, but even guns like armalites and MP5s/G3s could break around where the barrel meets the body if hit/dropped hard enough. Only really sturdy AEG i've ever seen has been the picture guarder made to promote there AK47 full steel kit. They showed a guy balancing on top of one, now that's tough.

I happened to use An SRC M16 (full metal) that i bought off Grim Fandango at Wasaga. I am Big, tall and through my body around. The gun took quite a pounding, even used it as a walking stick(very briefly) while traversing a rather steep incline. The gun came out in a lot better shape than me(been on the sidelines for a while).At the price i paid (375 if i remember right) this would be a decent gun for a first time AEG.

I'm about 280lbs and fell on my ICS MP5 (and I mean fell) while running through the bush half a sleep and didnt notice a log that my feet became intimate with, got back up and proceeded to shoot with it and have had no issues since.

mcguyver · March 29th, 2006, 22:35

The Systema M16A3 has to be the most solid and best built gun out there. Hell, it's meant to be an exact copy of the real steel and it is by far the most durable in rigidity and design of anything I've come across.

Electronics issues notwithstanding, if you want the good stuff, spend a couple thousand on the gun and a thousand more on mags and you're set.

The Saint · March 29th, 2006, 22:37

I think the G36 is a fairly good candidate, especially the C since it's got such a short barrel assembly in proportion to how much is recessed into the body of the gun. Relatively soft and loose hand guard means more play and elasticity to absorb impacts against that part. The stock's just one solid piece of polymer with little to nothing to shatter or break (especially CA's, the catch mechanism is essentially all metal). No frakking body tabs like on Armalites, either.

Had to say that with the wife looking over my shoulder didn't you?

Edit: I too use a TM G36c and concur with the Saint.

Bah TM G36C stocks are weak they will crack/snap if you drop it or bash it into a tree.

The Sig552 is fairly durable once the plastic body is replaced, instead of the stock snapping all the energy from the impact is transfered to the body causing it to crack.

DuffMan · March 29th, 2006, 22:51

Uh? Search?

In all seriousness, there are probably an astounding number of opinions. With the SRCs, if you break it to bits, you won't cry nearly as hard.

Mantelope · March 29th, 2006, 23:13

Can't believe nobody's mentioned the P90. It's probably the most solid gun I've ever used, just because it's so centralized. There are no weak points. Carl dropped his out of a tree, and the only thing that broke was the scope mount, but that's because he had modified the whole thing anyway.

Rumpel Felt · March 29th, 2006, 23:19

I beat people with the CA MP5. It works well.

Your best choice would probably be a non-TM hunk of plastic and a non-protruding barrel such as the armalites.

I'm sure I've read posts of you dragging new peoples' posts through the dirt for asking about AEG durability. Or mabey not. May have been you who said they are nothing compared to a real gun though. Which is hella true. I don't think there are any airsoft guns that can take the beating of a real one. Too many fragile internal componets. Gas guns would probably be your best for type or gun. On the lighter side.

I second that :P

The (plastic) iron sights on the P90 are prone to breakage. Can't comment on the TR version though. I've seen AK's take a ton of beating.
