I guess you can spend more to get a full metal gun that looks great hanging on the wall, because in my experience that's pretty much what CA is good for in the long run.

My biggest issue with the plastic body on my TM armalite was the color which didn't match with the rest of the gun. It also looked really pale under sunlight.

A can of flat black paint took care of that.
