The GBBR itself isn't expensive... It's the mags. And this system kills the whole reason most people get GBBRs.

Explain?

Most people get a GBBR to have more realistic features, such as full travel charging handle, working bolt catch and a more solid trigger/selector system.

It's a cool idea, but it seems kinda silly.

So I can now spend $140 on a proprietary GBB gearbox. I guess that's cool. Isn't a full-up GBBR only like $300?

How much are the magazines? It appears that the system uses a different magazine than the WA magazines, if I compare the cutouts and ports of a WA magazine and the GHK magazine pictured. Sure, the page says "WA style", but I wanna see someone use a WA magazine with the GHK gearbox before I spend $140 on it, or tell me where to find the GHK magazines it will take.

Crazy.

I think he's talking about GBBR mags in general, not these mags specifically... I don't see why the price would be very different for these.

That's a great assumption, but this is a niche sport and this is a niche product...even a $25 increase in price above the "average" GBBR magazine begins to erase the benefits of this versus buying a full GBBR, nevermind the loss of the stuff that makes GBBRs "cool", as mentioned above.

There also appears to be the issue of magazine availability -- I can lay my hands on a WA-compatible magazine from about 5 different vendors (assuming I limit my shopping to stateside)...I still can't find anyone stocking these magazines. Granted, it's a new product, but what's the point of one low-cap magazine? Eh?
