I realized that i didnt say much about skirmishability, so here goes. I took it down to a stirling weekend in april and i performed admirably. A lot of dirt and dust went into the chamber but it functioned reliably. I had one major stoppage and it was down to a loose nozzle head, i keep both the original nozzle and the NPAS for use in different scenarios and keep it screwed in place with a mild glue so on the second day it came off and got stuck in the chamber. i didnt have my cleaning rod so i took out the bolt carrier and fired the weapon which freed the nozzle and after attaching it back to the bolt carrier was back in game.
Its a very skirmishable weapon, though your style of play does change as you now have real cap mags, which in my view is just sweet as you now make your shots count and the recoil means you cant just go full auto and expect all your shots to land on target which ups the realism factor. Trouble shooting is very simple as you dont have to worry about batteries, fuses, gearboxes, wiring etc, if something goes wrong just open up the weapon and 9 times out of 10 you will see the problem right away and its usually easy fixes(unless you have broken parts but is very rare and even then there are plenty of cheap aftermarket parts). Best part though is no more fear of water, 2 nights ago i submerged it in the bath tub and fired it both above and underwater and it cycled properly(maybe not a good idea to do on a regular basis but very nice and on the plus side it gave my weapon a very good clean).
Any hoo i tend to ramble on so i hope you dont mind, just giving my two cents on the matter
Cheers

Re: We m4 gas blowback(request)
there is no reason for the gun not to work both wet and even submerged. No electronics and being clean water, no contaminants.
It was just as much to test the new "waterproof" camera as much as anything.
I've used the WE GBB rifles in torrential rain before so knew it would have no effect.
Plus it needed a wash :P

Re: We m4 gas blowback(request)
Yeah i wouldn't recommend lipos though
With aegs it is the long term damage that will cause issues or possible arcing when fired underwater .
I may use an ex hire AK later just to show it will work :p
