Hey what is the average lifespan of Classic Army and Tokyo Marui riffles?
If you give to a charity please think of giving to one of these two charities. The Naval Special Warfare Foundation or Navy SEAL Warrior Fund.

depends if you mean stock or not. i would say if they are stock, i would go with tokyo marui. the piston head and piston give out pretty quick in classic army. internally, the TM is good for upgrading alot. CA already comes with preupgraded steel gears, m100 type spring. i would say go CA and upgrade the piston and piston head after about 2000 rounds or so. TM, just put in some steel gears(or you wont need em probably if all youg oing to put it...m120+=put in steel gears) i would say go with tm, the internals will last longer. or go with CA if you want a metal body, steel gears and m100 type spring already in it, and then upgrade the piston and piston head. but i would choose TM. from experience, i dont like CA. from using a TM for a little while, i would say go TM.

I agree with richieboy.It all depends on how good you take care of your gun.If you abuse the gun,by holding the trigger on full-auto for more than 3 seconds,then your internals(gears,etc.),will strip.You would want to shoot for a couple seconds,let go of the trigger,and shoot again.You want your internals to cycle trough properly.As for TM or CA,I'd say go TM :wink:..If your planning on upgrading your spring to a M120 or higher,you would also want bushings,and some gears,for starters.Watch the piston and head,too.If its a M100,just need to upgrade to metal bushings,not to worry to much about your gears

Ive got a TM M16A2 i bought about a year and half ago, and i can say that the thing has NEVER let me down, all i have done to upgrade it is put a M120 spring in it and metal bushings, thats it! It shoots 400 FPS and a solid 800 RPM. Never given me a problem and accurate as hell. I can hit a 5" tree trunk at 40 yards. Only problem is that it does not have a metal body and when i change from my M24 to my M16, it almost feels toyish, and metal bodies arent exactly the cheapest thing out there.

Depends on how much u clean it, where you use it, how you shoot it, if you upgrade it, i dont think you can put a ticket on how long a gun will last because it differs from person to person and the way they treat their weapons.
