So last night airsoftgi posted that they finally have the new GBBR in. I really want to get one. I just don't think that it is very good to play with. I want to use it for some backyard target practice. Maybe some zombie training. The cost of the mags and the cost of gas will just be to much for me to make it my primary. But I would like to hear your thoughts. Should I just spend the cash and get it or should I save the money.

I wouldn't put the money into it if you don't plan on using it for games, but thats just me.

finely tuned gas gun can acheive higher ranges then AEGs more consistently. They can also be submerged in water and still fired, although I would be hesitent to try it I know a guy who went full submerged in a river and popped out on the other side gun still running hot seal style. Playing with low cap magazines can be challenging, and the mags are outragous, you cans till use them, I would try to get my hands on ten mags if to use as a primary... All in all I would only use gas guns as SMG, Side arms, shotguns, and sniper rifles (with hesitation) until gas mags go down in price. So I would save the money man, backyard shooting is fun, but it will cause you to wanna run this gun, and this could be a money sink for you. I had a mp7 by kwa it was sick, I was only going to use it in the backyard, but then I thought about using it, then bought some mags, then ended up selling it because I knew I would sink in alot of money.
A person to ask about gas guns and using them is Doc he ran the whole Spring opener withum.

I would agree that I would probably want to play with it. But so far I have only been able to play once with you guys. And probably won't be able to play much more than once a month. So it doesn't seem like I would really have to worry about it to much.

i too have awaited this gun.. But unless mag prices get cheaper than idt ill be buying it anytime soon.. But i watched the videos of the prototypes and then when they just released it the other day... I was drooling... The gun has so much recoil... I wouldnt try to go full on it.. Semi is good enough.. They need to make magazines that can hold more gas lol.. Or put a place for a co2 or propane tank in the buttstock like they do with batteries and then it can just screw in.. And then they can put a regulator in the grip then they wouldnt have to worry so much about the size of magazines..

yes i did.. For about 7, 8 years.. I started playing in 2005.. And had to stop last year because its just too exspensive anymore.. 45 60 bucks for a case of diablo heat or marbilizers or evil or gold is to much if you play as much as i did.. I was playing twice a weekend every weekend and i buy like two boxes of pain and would save so much of it every time i played.. And just buy another bag or two to add to it.. Thats just plain ridiculous lol.. Airsofts cheaper.. And its like your playing real life call of duty.. I use to play at the paintball plex and apocalypse.. I've played a game with indianapolis mutiny if you know who they are? And i played against farside.. And several other teams.. I've played some ball.. Lol..

You should look in to the new polar star fusion engine. It replaces the gear box of a aeg with stuff to hook up to hpa tanks. It is designed mainly for people like you that have been paintballing for years but want to airsoft. That way they can still use some gear.

yeah but see they are like what 500 bucks somewhere in that range? Yeah i cant afford it lol.. Im going to stick with an aeg and a gas pistol as a sidearm.. Maybe stuff like that will come down the road... When i get my g.e.d. And a job... Which i am currently trying to attain...

Man i know you guys don't think a gas gun is a good idea but it looks so amazing. From all accounts this thing kicks like nothing else. I don't know how I'm going to swing buying it and a couple of mags but it is something I fell like I need to get. I just wish the mags would be a little cheaper. And I wish gas would work when it is cooler out.

I know. Most of the time I'm shooting targets in my back yard. Or at my buddies woods. And we have a semi only rule there. So I wont be spraying bbs that much. I still have all my aegs for when I come to play with you guys. And I get owned everytime I play anyways. More about the fun of it rite?
