    The G&G L85A2 is a really nice AEG, very solid. I believe eirsoft has both in their shop if want to compare them. They have a Star L85 fitted with an AG36 launcher on the wall.

    I am a G&G fan!
    I have a couple of there M4's and their GR25, all excellent AEG's.

    But, when it came to an SA80(L85A2) it had to be the Star!!!
    I used the Star version for over 2 years regularly as my main weapon without any problems. The only job I did was to fit a tightbore barrel, for slightly better accuracy.
    I know the present owner of this AEG, and he is using it with no problems every weekend!
    My best friend also used one for over 2 years as well with no problems.

    I would buy the Star again without hesitation.
    The only problem with the G&G version was the blowback action falling apart and doing damage to the gearbox!!
    This function can be disabled.

    Just my opinion!
    Good luck with your decision.
