The last option. They just don't last or perform all that well. If they were half the price they would be excellent, but at that price you are better off looking elsewhere. If you want purely a show piece you can't beat VFC's externals, they are also grossly overpriced guns considering how bad the internals have gotten lately, but at least they can claim to be the very best at something.

It's easy to know how good internals are... Ask people at your field what brand of guns they have and if they are running them stock. For example, a lot of LCT owner run their guns stock (or added a mosfet like I did), so you know right away that the internals are durable. Ask VFC owners and most people will have replaced parts or did a "full upgrade" because the gun was not performing up to their expectations and they have been badly couseled at upgrade time (face it, when you are a new player, you want the best gun, so upgrading sounds like the way to go... It takes years to finally realize you upgrades are not doing much and you are much better off upgrading the player than the gun).
