Kull I respect your opinion but your flip flop approach to the problem is your weak point in this argument. For the supposed three grand you have spent on various GBBR platforms I can replace every single fragile point on a WE SCAR almost 20 times. Most reliable reviews have indicated that the current iteration of the WE SCAR can push up to 10k rounds effectively without need of replacement parts when properly maintained in their stock form. This coupled with the extremely low cost of quality upgrade parts pretty much negates your points. The cool down effect is a problem with all GBBR's and I have noticed no determinable reduction in rof that would render the platform unusable.
As for "kick" try to remember that the SCAR platform by design and thus translated into the real rifle keeps the recoil absorption centered within the middle of the gun thus mitigating the kick. The platform in reality has significantly less recoil then an M16-M4-AR15 platform due to the fashion in which the recoil is absorbed.
As for the fragility of GBB magazines? Well take care of them. Don't do tac reloads and swing free's on mags, Index your spent magazine and deposit it into a dump bag before indexing your next magazine. Use quality secure methods of carry, and respect them. Shit there's a reason why Pmags are so damn popular these days within real steel shooting, they are durable where as real magazines are not.
In anycase I believe we will have to agree to disagree, I just felt that a rebuttal was needed for your position, please don't take this as an attack, I just don't agree.
Cheers
