strykerles

unfortunately yes

seems they didn't have many though, now showing as sold out

Sold out already. £700 is ridiculous though, my latest project is cheaper than that with all aftermarket parts included

That's capitalism for you. How they say it? Price/value always depends on how much someone willing to pay for it.

Airsoft is everything but realistic.

Personally, I love my GBBRs, but the way I play I don't shoot that much (coming from that sniper role I'm used to not shooting much). I've converted one of my friends to GBBRs, but he's like me and doesn't run into ammo problems. It's very dependent on what you want to get out of the game. Mid-fight reloads, pistol transitions and ammo tracking are something I enjoy and I'll often be switching between my mags to make sure the freshest is available at all times, adding a fun element to the game for me, but it's very much not for everyone. Also, I love how it feels to shoot, as you get more of a kick than with a NGRS, and knew that I was going to convert to GBBRs as soon as I fired off my first mag from my AKM on the range.

However, if you want to play airsoft with the focus on shooting at other players and getting kills and doing objectives and winning games, GBBRs are not the way to go. For the price of a MWS plus mags, you could get a pretty nice NGRS build with all the bells and whistles and a rig full of EPM mid caps and probably still have change left over.

"Airsoft is everything but realistic."

Never said airsoft is realistic I said GBBR is the most realistic thing you can get right now because certain things function exactly like on a real steel firearm. But if you don't count those features gbbr is simply too expensive and for the same money you can get better perfomance with HPA or a tuned AEG.  GBBR is extremely fun don't get me wrong but I could never justify to spend that much money on a gun and not just because I can't afford it. xD
