low end guns were popular purely due to price and ignorance.
When chinasoft first hit the market, it was a lot worse than it is now, and despite EVERYONE being told NOT to buy them, a ton of people did, and of course regretted it when their gun broke and nobody could/would fix it lol
Used to be the difference between a $200 kraken or a $800 G&P that needed new internals
Now it's $200 for a kraken, or $350 for a high end KA M4
Can't really argue the extra $150 for guaranteed compatibility & reliability

Problem with putting a good engine in a shit car is the same as putting a good mechbox in a shit gun. You can get it to work but it's a question of alignment. If things don't align properly you're going to have some big demon performance issues for what is now a $200 gun with a $400 mechbox

Of course, it doesn't help when a business is making you pay $800 for a gun that only cost them $300 to import lol
