What airsoft brands do you think are the most underrated? I think TM is a big one.

To add to yours, I think WE is harshly underrated on certain forums. I have seen some forums bash on WE and then cheerlead for JG. This was also 3 years ago where WE was just as good as it is today and JG was arguably worse.

I think Nova'd agree with me as well that ICS is underrated these days. Go back 5 years and they were all over the fields. Go back about 7 years and they were in their prime. They still have better than average externals and internal reliability even though their models are very dated now.

I do agree with you. My ICS AK did a great job. I rarely worried about any issues with it and even though the fps only clocked in at 330-340, I got 200 foot range. I never realized how good that hop up was.

How about Real Sword? They make quality stuff and they don't get a whole lot of press.

In america, not too many people run AK-style weapons, which is what real sword specializes in. Plus they are very hard to get.

One thing that at least is going through my head is that G&G is not as prestigious as it used to be. Back before they came out with their plastic bodied line they were seen as a super premium brand. Now everyone and their brother has one and they've lost that old reputation I think. They made a lot of money but G&P now has a rep for being high quality more than G&G does when they used to be on par with eachother.

Systema PTW? Yes they are. They are more expensive for a baseline model than for a fancy P* and their performance and reliability is considerably less. When someone makes a gun that fires 1000000 rounds no problem that's going to happen.

Systema gearboxes are still holding their own. The old M120 ones like I have and Nova had that were run by Delta as well are still very good gearboxes considering that their design is solidly over 10 years old.
