I currently own the vector arms ak 47 by echo 1 but i was thinking of getting the army l85a1 and upgrading it to around 400 fps. which of these two guns will preform better and last longer without me having to keep putting money into it? they both have full metal gearboxes although i dont know the quality of the vector arms gear box ( i do know it has a metal spring guide, supposed steel gears, metal bushings, and a black metal gearbox shell). I know the l85 has some problems with the blowback and the precocking feature but is there an easy and cheap way to fix that? thanks

I'd say AK because the parts are gonna be easier to find when you have to replace them.

They are both great guns for the price.
