Tokyo Marui AEGs and GBBs are mostly plastic in construction, aside from the M14 and Thompson, which sport a good portion of Metal. Barrels are always metal tho.
As for other companies out there (G&G, G&P, ICS, Classic Army...) they mostly always offer a metal body with their products, which explains the high cost.
As for GBBs, WesterArms are not exactly metal.. they are usually a hard version of resin for frame and sometimes for slides as well.
The best way to know is to ask with the retailer directly, your question here is rather vague, but i hope i could answer it somewhat.
Also, a very good way to learn about this would be to show up at a local game and ask around, i'm sure you'll find plenty of players willing to answer your questions and show you their inventory.
cheers,
^^^woa... shitload of answers at the same time! LOL
