Chubby: The G&P or G&G are a great option for getting your foot in the door. Well, your whole leg and with a running start -
Full metal, lightly upgraded, good quality, generally good QC...
My only concern between the two is that I only owned a G&G, so there's a few things I don't know:
- on the G&G I had, takedown was a breeze. You could just push the body pins out to the side (the body pins were made so they couldn't even fall out of the gun!) and then pull the cocking handle, and slide the entire upper/front of the gun off the mechbox. Then, you could swap the one piece hop-up/inner barrel assembly in probably 6 seconds flat.
- the G&G doesn't have real trademarks. Didn't bother me much, but real trades would be nice
I DON'T know the following:
- whether G&P has a similar takedown style
- whether the G&P internals would be better/worse/same as the G&G
if the takedown style is the same for both guns, if I were to buy another, I'd go straight for G&P. So much of the fiddly stuff comes already done with that gun, and anything else to fix/upgrade/change isn't usually that difficult to source or do. changing out the front end isn't bad either, and there aren't many parts to the gun, so it's pretty nice to work on.
If the G&P takes apart like the G&G, i'd say go for it. But, then I haven't had experience with any other armalites, so make sure you take into account all the other info people provide here.
