Ok. Opinion time. I wanna hear yours.
 
So, I'm currently trying to get as much exposure as possible to this incredible hobby. I'm hooked. Addicted. Like a skinny little Tweaker pickin' BBs outta my skin wondering when I'm gonna get my next fix. I like it. A lot. Did I mention how much I like it?

So, I've got my "historic" airsoft gun, an ICS M3. Love it. Good range, good accuracy... Hate the hi-cap mags, but I'll live with 'em. I've got WW2 covered, I've got 'nam covered, I've got "third world Guerilla" covered. Went out for a more "modern" game the other day... And Performance wise, I have zero issues with my grease gun, hits what I want to hit, and it's simple. However....

It's a bit noisy (easy to fix, other than the hi-cap rattle).
The mag's too long for decent prone positioning.
And, despite the 97% metal construction, I'm a little concerned about breaking it.
I do like the small size though.

I've got my eyes set on a Real Sword... For all the obvious reasons. Was going to get a type 56, or 56-1, but now I'm thinking I want small.

So, I'm in the market for a small, rugged, high quality AEG, fairly light, easy to carry through heavy brush, decent accuracy.

I figure a bullpup will give me the barrel length I'm looking for in a compact package, so that narrows it down greatly.

I'm leaning towards the RS 97-B. or perhaps an AUG Steyr? Aaaand finally, I come to the "your opinion" part of this long-winded ramble. If you've used either of these ( I am uncertain as to which manufacturer makes a decent AUG... Classic Army?) I would love to hear your opinions. If you've used BOTH, I'd reeeallly love to hear your opinions.

I'm not hung up on a rail mounted toys... Iron sights do me just fine, so that's not really a factor for me. FPS is secondary to consistency and decent groupings. And "toughness" and reliability are paramount. I hate buying crap. Buy cheap, buy twice.

Thank you for reading, thank you more for answering.

Classic Army and Tokyo Marui are good choices for an AUG. CA has slightly better externals, whereas TM wins in the internals.

However with your requirement for a tough rifle, I don't think you can go wrong with a Type 97/97B. I've handled one and they are really solid both internally and externally. A Type 56-1 with the stock folded is even more compact. Handled one of those too and its a real beast.
You may like the G&G F2000 as well. I had one and it was a solid, compact bullpup.

Consider the classic army p90 proline. It's not expensive, it's a solid design, and the midcaps carry a LOT. It's a nice, modern looking gun that works great out of the box, no attachments needed. If you want a little bit more accuracy, the CA P90 TR version has an extended barrel hidden by a silencer that you can swap in and out.

Also worth considering, when it comes out...

P90 midcaps suck. Feed like crap, just like the hicaps.

I've had great luck with the mag midcaps running with a CA p90.

With the kingarms midcaps now though they're even better, single stack mag with 100 rounds, 30 more than a standard lowcap mag.

I've only had issues with a p90 midcaps running a KS/E1 gearbox.
