Hey sambo welcome to forum. I am going to put 2 and 2 together and say thats your gbbr m4 ad? Want to post a review, interested to see how it goes feeding and accuracy wise.

Yes mate, that’s my ad. You pay a premium on these for a reason. They’re about as close to the real thing in terms of weight and feel as you’ll ever get in Oz. No plastic pieces other than the grip and handguard. Its got a tight bore barrel so you need to control grow the gels. If you get that right, it runs like a champ. It is select fire so has a full auto function but I find leaving it in semi and shooting for accuracy gives the better experience. Mag holds about 30 ish gels. This would be the gel enthusiasts tool of choice if you’re into realism milsim.

Welcome to the forum @Sambo 
Thanks for the information and pics, as certainly been a lot of interest in the GBBR’s of late.
One of the biggest unanswered questions is about the gas capacity of the magazines.
How often do they require refilling during single and full auto operations?
On Semi, about 3 mags. On full auto about 2. These internals are pretty solid though and if they had a c02 mag in the future, I think you’d get a few more out of it.

I have it on good authority from a friend who works at an airsoft field that CO2 through a WE Tech is a bad idea. Apparently it’s sort of a bad idea for any GBB blaster to run CO2, because it’ll do damage from cycling, over time. NBB blasters designed for CO2 like the lever gun, and APS shotguns are fine on CO2 though, because no moving parts.
Not gel but the nerf milsig runs great on co2. If a blaster was made to the same high specs as the milsig it would be fine. However that isnt the case

You know, I think given that these have the anti-walk pins that iHobby’s GE ones have, I think these may have been the same batch that WAT was looking to get in, back then.
It looks like the ones they were having a squizz at in Taiwan were VFC or WE, too.

doubt i could import that nor would it work withh what we have access too
More to the point, it’s a doable thing with a bit of engineering, and probably a 3D printer.

Wat Int’s GBBRS were Lucifer A1s with polymer bodies that use a system based on the TM MWS system.
Definitely not the same as Ihobbys GE which are metal and use the WA system.
Are ihobby m4s on par with we tech? Dont see how eccb can charge more than double the price
I know it gets confusing but the long and the short of it ECCB are very low number converted airsoft. They do not leave We Tech as a gel blaster. They are converted by an individual.
The Ihobby are factory gel blasters from Golden Eagle.
From what I understand Golden Eagle are entry GBBRs and We Tech are considered a little bit higher but still entry level. Comparisons though seem to point to the GE being on par with the We Tech with some aspects better and some not.
But as a general rule the reviews are relatively solid for the GE.

Question: does running GBB blasters too much cause it to jam from the green gas/CO2 getting too cold?
If you mag dump, reload the same mag with gels and mag dump it again, yes. If you give the mag time to warm up again, no.

Dont want to watch the whole thing. Can you give us a summery?
Got dragged out of my hovel by my wife so I missed most of the vid so I had to rewatch it - knackered and the stream quality may give rise to errors, so apologies if I don’t get everything right.
Platform is researched and designed by them over the last 2 years, CNC 7075 receivers and stainless steel internals.
Won’t know exact pricing until the first batch is finalised and delivered but they’re aiming for 1500, with mags around 150.
They want to design their own mag later on to potentially make cheaper mags down the line.
The plan is to have a lot of options and mods such as higher fps bolts.
Mag capacity can be 30 but probably won’t feed well, experience is 25 will be a more consistent feed.
