RA-Tech is working on new cheaper mags fot the WA, they say it's going to cost around $60US and they can use AEG mag outer shells. they are also going to release CO2 mags in April-May. this coupled with the NAPS bolt means that we can lower the FPS and maintain the stronger blowback while using less total gas.
TM switched to AEGs because clasic airsoft guns need external gas tanks which many players didnt like. i wouldt like to have a tank strapped to my back either, and having to use a pump or compressor to fill the tanks sucks. using already compressed gasses in the mags makes alot more sence. at least to me. personally i think its a safer system as the gun can not fire unless it has a mag loaded, and once you use the ammo up in one mag you can quickly switch to a fresh mag. even with cool down i can get almost 100 rounds out of one mag in my WA M4, once we switch to CO2 with the NAPS bolt, im sure that number will go up by quite a bit.
if you like to run around hosing BBs around then these GBBs are not for you. if you are into mil-sim (like i am) then these GBBs are very useable and fun.
it's all personal preference. just like how some player would spend the money to get a PTW over a regular AEG, they are basicly the same in terms of fuction but the PTW is more expencive. if you ask a PTW owner if its worth it they will say yes.
if you ask me if i regret getting a GBB rifle, i'd tell you no i dont, if i want to sprey BBs i have my other two AEGs, i got this GBB for a reason and my reason will be different then that of others. if someone is intrested in these GBB rifles good on them. i'll give them any info i have on them, but i wont try to make the choice for them.
