It's white metal, tin and lead aren’t much (if any) stronger than plastic. Plastic is lighter and more easy to repair. There is absolutely nothing wrong with plastic or composites, in fact a lot of times, they're better than metal. Just because it says plastic or polymer that it's made from cheap melted down margarine containers. Don't assume because it says metal that it's make out of steel or even aluminum. Even if a gun where to be made out of steel, there's more to it than just steel, the very same with plastic. My point in all this is, don’t say that gun is no good because it’s plastic. While, no, it’s not made out of high grade plastic, neither is that “metal” one. Even it says high grade whatever. Don’t believe it for a second unless they give you a MIL spec number.

That's why you buy
GOOD brands of guns. CA uses aluminum in their M4 line, and steel in their AK line.
G&P uses aluminum, same with King Arms...
I don't think anyone here is saying "GO BUY DBOYS, THEY'RE METAL!!"

I disagree with this quite a bit. G&G uses a magnesium alloy gears, and has an AWFUL piston head design. The KA gearboxes I've seen have been built right with proper materials.
