If you have not noticed, polymer pistols are becoming more and more popular. In 1982, the Austrian gun manufacturer, Glock, came out with a highly innovative but controversial pistol design using polymer for their pistols. At first, it was rejected by the traditional crowd because they believed guns should be all steel construction. However, after 20 years of service, Glock has proven itself to be one of the most durable and reliable handguns, and the majority of law enforcement agencies across the nation and the world choose the Glock as their duty weapon.

I have been in the airsoft community for over 7 years. Traditionally when I first started airsoft, AEGs (Airsoft Electric Gun) were not quite up to speed right out of the box. I found myself upgrading them, piece by piece, from internal to external. Over time, I had developed a mindset that all stock guns are not great, and they have to be upgraded in order to perform to my expectations.

I remember when I first purchased my Tokyo Marui M4A1 Carbine. After the first week having it, I spent $140 dollars on an FTK (Full Tune-up Kit) in order to make it shoot at 400 FPS. After that, I spent about $110 on an MBK (Metal Body Kit), since stock Tokyo Maruis come with plastic receivers. I also purchased a one piece metal outer barrel due to the fact that the stock barrel is an unstable two-piece design. Last but not least, I purchased a rail system. At the end, I spent over $500 just to make the gun shoot the way I wanted, and look the way I liked.
