Is it worth it?

[challdog]

right,
i think im gunna go for a G&G m4 plastic AEG-£120
is it worth it to pay £30 extra JUST for the pneumatic blowback?

and what is the difference (if any) between the non-blowback, and blowback G&G m4's??? (despite the obvious)

cheers guys, really need some feedback so please be helpful

the GnG blow back seems to be fairly decent, but IMO just another gadget in the gun too go wrong / break.

Save the cash, get some mags or something :D

Most "blowback" available today is a "clacky" ejection port cover making an unconvincing racket whilst waiting to break something else!

if its a metal bodied gun, and the blowback mechanism is metal as well, go for it.

my Cyma Ak has blowback, and it makes a lovely little metal slamming noise when it fires. add that to the very different sound it makes when firing, and i love it :D

Re: Is it worth it???

yeah... I think i'll go for the non blowback.
And get a holo sight or something.

Anyone own the non blowback??
How does it perform?

Exactly the same as the blowback models. Z1 do the Combat Machine M4 for £115. They are meant to perform well for their price. Far superior to the CA sportlines as well, Iv'e been told.

So blowback is just a simulation of a most real steel rifles operating system, and doesn't actually do give any advantages apart from a vague sense of realism?

Yes.

If that's the case I really can't see the need for it on a plastic RIF when it's real steel counterpart is metal...
Go for the non-blowback.

Yep. It's only really worth it on the TM Recoil EBBs. The kick actually rocks the gun around.

HI

I'v got a g&g gr16 with the blowback, that I'm selling along with 3000bbs (0.2g) the battery (8.6v 1800mah) and charger for £100, its so cheap because the lower receiver is a bit broken, it stays together fine with a bit of tape, and is perfectly skirmishable in the condition, I have ordred a new one (From a user called rabbitcontrollsquad) but 2 months alter he hasn't sent it.
If u plonk a new receiver on it it will be fine, as internally the guns fine (Exept for a slightly bent motor contact, doesn't affect performance though)

As to anser ur question, the blowback version has a tightbore barrel, and some better stuff inside the gearbox.
