Get the ball rolling so...
not sure if this has been mentioned elsewhere here, but saw this was put up a few days ago so I'm guessing it's been made available recent enough as well. GBB conversion kit for PTS Masada
Its on my wishlist if they release a full GBB Masada unit so I don't have to go about getting the AEG too first
Edit: Saw it on ehobbyasia a couple of days ago, but can't see it there now? was around $230 I think

Not irish news, but another law in america that's changing legal status of airsoft devices.

Well their screwed :pac:
"I'm alright Jack".
New Jersey is east coast USA. And car-drive away from Washington DC. It wouldn't take much for Irish politicians keen on making their name "against de glocks" to take inspiration from that legislative move. There are similar moves (again) over on the west coast after a very controversial bill was slapped silly and defeated in recent months.
The "I'm alright Jack" attitude was thrown around aplenty by US players scoffing at the UK when the VCRB (now VCRA) was floated, then they got theirs. Irish politicians are fond of looking to the UK & US politically so someone somewhere might get ideas that you really don't want them to get.
Oh yeah… sh*t…

As in it sets the piston to the rear?
That sounds like its going to be a proprietary gearbox and will that not wear down the spring quicker?
Crap soz dude, it takes the tension off the spring de-cocks? if that is the correct terminology

I was just about to say it decocks, not precocks.
Their entrance into the AEG market is intriguing if not a little...um, odd.0 -

GBBR's will eventually take over the market, as they become more viable a system...however I firmly believe that it is still approximately 5 years out. For now, it's AEG country...perhaps WE are subtly acknowledging this :P
WA make excellent high-quality replicas for the Japanese market, focusing on realism (weight, attention to detail i.e. firing pin design on 1911's unlike marui's hex screw etc) - the GBBR M4 was a natural progression for them. Since they did the R&D, everyone else cloned the crap out of it, or just made upgrade parts.
KJW/Tanio Koba figured he could do better, and did. The KJW GBBR is the only out-of-the-box skirmishable GBBR M4, but magazines are hard to come by. WE saw an opportunity, and brought out an affordable (but ultimately snuffed) GBBR M4, and then ported it over quickly into two other models; SCAR-L & PDW. They were slated for the brass tube system, so once again rushed out the "Open Bolt" - it performed much worse than the brass tube system, but it did improve upon the realism. This gave WE a firm grasp on the GBBR market for variety...but it was with their G36C that they gained notoriety - it's magazines were reliable, good performers & in general it was an impressive feat. They then made the same mistake, and tried to diversify too quickly, with their later models being a bit of a travesty...particularly their AK.
With WE being exclusively GBB, they have seriously vested interests, and since they are notoriously sub-par without considerable investment - they rely solely on R&D in new models so that they can snap up as much custom as possible, with RATech picking up the slack. The move to AEG is very strange, nearly incomprehensible - they effectively own the GBBR market, yet are moving into AEG's....my head hurts

+1 on that.
If companies can manufacture an aeg though with a significant blowback as in on par with a GBBR, I think the GBBR world will stay as it is they defo wont dominate the airsoft world to the extent that aegs do now. That all does depend on such an aeg coming into the market. Fingers crossed....
In warmer climates GBBR are at there best, unfortunately over here we suffer the consequences of "cool down". Yeah fine you can use CO2 but ideally you would want to get reinforcement parts to cope, yet more money invested, the magazine costs again a fortune for such low capacity magazine fine If you really really really love mil-sim but your going to want a lot of them and again a lot of money invested.
If brands like WE or WA or any other GBBR manufacturers could make magazines (if they do, my apologies) that counter act cool down well to certain degree anyway, and have a capacity greater than 50+ rounds that would be great. Something like KSC's system 7, but when you see the cost of the magazines for the USP alone 50 bloody euro making a GBBR mag with a system 7ish setup would probably cost a fortune.
I love GBBR's like I said I got into airsoft because of these but the cost just became too much I wouldn't mind but all I was doing was plinking with them.
Great foooking fun though....0 -

As a owner of a lot of gbbrs the one that really impressed me out of the box was my G39 k ras it shoots on a cold evening around 60bbs to on refill and on a warm day 80 bbs the only thing I find it works better on semi full auto likes to eat gas moreSouthern Dandy wrote: »GBBR's will eventually take over the market, as they become more viable a system...however I firmly believe that it is still approximately 5 years out.
