THIS.
Don't be fooled by the "sport line" name either. Classic Army Sportline guns give the term a bad rep because they're downgraded both externally and internally, whereas with G&G you are literally getting the same top quality gun, minus the metal body and a tight bore.
And G&G is miles ahead of any clone. The plastic in JG/Echo1 guns is awful stuff. It flexes, it cracks, and it's generally got a really bad finish, very shiny. With G&G, there's zero flex, and it doesn't develop barrel wobble as fast as JG/Echo1 do. The stuff is the same thing you'll find in their UMPs; it's scarily durable. I've even been fooled into thinking it was actually metal, at least just by sight alone. You'll be much happier with it, and in the long run it's going to take much more abuse.
