Gas blowback: Will it take the lead?

Explain your answer.

I said yes.

It seems now more than ever, any airsoft company worth it's salt has a gas blowback rifle in production or await a release date. This area of airsoft used to be proliferated by replicas out of reach for the average airsofter, with prices rocketing past $500 for a standard M4 variant...but all of a sudden, the middle-market companies are stepping up their game and releasing replicas that are affordable and often surpass the $500+ ones in performance and reliability.

I can see gas taking the lead in sales, as well as advancements in the gas we power them with.
Possibly even moving towards more eco-friendly/inert gases?

There are already too many AEGs and not enough companies that know how to make GBBRs.

AEGs will be the norm, but I expect to see an increasing amount of GBBRs in the future. Not gonna explain much more because I have a headache and I don't like answering essays that aren't for school.

aeg's because gas are useless in the winter months because the gas won't expand

AEGs will stay but gas guns will rise
I love AEGs but theres just something about GBBRs that gives you a good feeling :0

I agree with most everyone, GBBRs will continue to advance and grow quickly like they have, but gentr made a reat point aboutheir unreliability on high or low temps, and other thongs such as gas shortages, etc.
I see the AEG as Always being the norm.


Atleast for the next hundred years.

Not gbb's but blow back aegs. Most of my active team uses GBB pistols but they suck in winter months when it's 30 degrees out. Recently a team member got the G&G blow back M4/16. To give him the realistic blow back feture but also be able to use it in the cooler months. They may become more popular in warm areas where the weather doesn't drop below 50 degrees but for us players that have a bi polar weather system it's going to be blow back AEG's.

So I agree blow back will rise but a mix of gas and aeg's
