I have done a fair bit of research on them and have yet to find anyone who has said they are sh*t. There are plenty of people who shouldn't ever be using a GBB gun reviewing the G&G guns slating the body for being plastic and moaning about not being able to buy hi cap magazines for it, but none seem to berate the performance, quite the contrary from my reading. We all know gas guns are very much like marmite.
At the end of the day every GBB is a fairly basic system that is replicated across most of the gas guns, there isn't a lot of new or innovation between any of the brands, GHK have fitted it into a gearbox shape that drops into a reciever, I predict that they are still the same principle parts that would be going into their normal guns, just in a different package. The main difference I can see is that it doesn't seem to have as big a sliding recoil like other Gas guns do.
The thing to remember is that this is an older design, from 2011 / 2012, tweaks and improvements have been made since from the things they have learnt from making and developing the G5 and the Hepatitis (or whatever it was called) There are videos showing it push over 100 shots from a single mag, just as the G5 does.
At the end of the day, Its an £80 bit of kit, I'm not expecting the world, but it should be a good way to judge if I genuinely like gas, or if i'm just romanticising before spending £500+ on a G5 and a set of mags.
I will be sure to give it a full and honest review once its arrived, and be assured if it is indeed sh*t (although I highly doubt it)I will tell you.
[Edit to Add] it also seems to lack the overtly functioning bolt system, that some other brands do. I predict that is to keep size and complications down allowing it to fit different brands of receivers. In all honesty that is a big plus for me, how many times do we read about bolts and guides bending or snapping because they are made of paper, people spend as much money on steel parts as the did on the gun in the first place.
