I've had a couple throughout my teen life. bought 2 off ebay. One broke in a week, sent it in, got a new one, broke again a month later. didnt bothre sending it back in. The other works good. I have 2 of my friends airsoft guns here, both broken. One, the shotgun was nice, but we ran it over with the 4-wheeler on accident while filming a movie. Little bit of Red Green's favorite tool fixed that(duct tape). But something broke in the cocking mechanism now... The other one, was a nicer one at one time. $40 brand new I think. Inside trigger frame broke.
So yea, 3 of 4 guns broke for me, and I hardly ever use them... Paintball is the way to go if you want to have fun! I used to have a tippmann 98, and I miss that thing sometimes... Never a problem, Tippmann is great and cheap.
