GBBR or AEGs? Opinions?

Gas guns are great, untill you get that slowly leaking mag, drop it on the feed lip, have to carry 8 mags for a two hour skirmish, replacing the bucking every other month, stink of propane all day, have the mini panic attack in the chrono line and finally out-gunned by 12 year olds with rifles that cost less than two of your gas mags.

 
Sounds like you need to try a gbbr in real life :lol:

 
Fair enough from your post in the what have you bought thread you came across as though the GHK gearbox was your first to see if you liked gas guns or not, my mistake then.

I'd still disagree though, if you look after your kit well and don't drop it etc and prevent leaks then it's not much hassle and doesn't take long, the mags aren't as heavy as people make out either imo, they are a bit but once in the pouches of a decent rig properly adjusted the weight isn't all that noticeable to me. As for replacing the bucking I can only assume you've had KWAs as every other gbbr and pistol I've had has been fine with them?

No need for panic attacks at the chrono, you should set your guns up to be safe from temperature rises and changing the fps. If you're outgunned by 12 year old then it's a case of changing your play style, being more efficient with your ammo etc.

Stinking of propane though, I'll give you that :D

 
I've seen people use the word/abbreviation "imo" quite a lot just wondering what does it mean?

 
I prefer GBBR. I'm not a fan of hi-capas in the first place, so I'm not fussed that the mags are only lo-capas (as far as I know). The bang sounds nicer than the 'vwwwip' sounds AEGs make, kick feels good, and if you're a Milsim person cocking your gun is one of the little things that makes it more enjoyable and realistic. Only problem in alot of cases is winter, though.

Also one tiny weeny thing that makes me want to get the G&G combat machine cm16 is because you can pull back the charging handle while saying:"Yippee ki yay" :P
