I don't have CA or STAR or G&P, I only have the Echo1(A&K) M249, since day 1, I replace the stock battery with 11.2V 20C Lipo battery with no fuse, change the connector from mini to large, replace the hopup nub. First milsim, I put through 7500 rnds with stock gears, not even 1 misfeed. I then put in the G&P M120 high speed motor and a Systema M120S spring, another skirmish, another 5000 rnds, no problem.

The third time, just before the first game starts, it stripped some gears. Took it apart, the stock sector and spur gear are gone!! I bought two china high speed gears from ebairsoft, put it in, it doesn't align perfectly, it still turns, not as smooth as my Marui or G&G. I then put in the Systema ball bearing Area1000 piston head, TM cylinder, TM piston body, TM nozzle (dun ask why mix and match, coz that's all I have right now). I have tested it with a full clip of M4 mag, it works ok, no misfeed.

All in all, I think the A&K is well worth the price, i expect the gears to be stripped, that's why I did not spend 100 for a systema set, I'd rather chew through 5 sets of china gears than 1 set of systema gears.
